AI has come a long way since Jackie and I reviewed it 5 years ago!
It’s gone from being a novelty to something I use multiple times a day!
There are now too many AI tools out there to keep track of but the question specific for us (and you) is:
Which AI tool provides the best AutoHotkey v2 code “out of the box”❓
While not scientific I put them in the following rank order:
Up until a month ago I would have had Claude at the top however, recently, Grok has been able to deliver more often than Claude and it’s creating very advanced scripts with little nudging needed!
I should also mention that I’m a paying member of both Claude and ChatGPT.
I have created the following two custom projects in Claude which I find very helpful
The first one helps AI convert older scripts to v2.
The second one greatly reduces the amount of code that I both put it, and get out, of Claude.
I instruct Claude to use my libraries to help with my code and (most importantly) when it uses them, to refer to them with #Includes (as I’ve given it the local path to libs on my computer)
How about you❓
What’s your favorite AI tool for writing AHK V2 code❓

Copy On Click❗
In our AI Transcribe and Summarize tool I wanted to, easily, copy the tags in an edit field to the clipboard.
This was trickier than I expected but Isaias got us there and walks us through in this video.

Fat Arrows are Easier than you think❗
A few weeks back, during a Hero call, Isaias showed us how, and more importantly when, to use Fat Arrows.
It was a great clip so I extracted it and share it in this video

Improving People’s Lives: Story #50
Our client had ~65 medical terms that were lacking what they were associated with.
So I created a project in claude all of which used the same prompt and asked for a bulleted list of output.
In about 10 minutes I had it all done with great reports that will take very little editing.
