The author shared a practical mini-tool developed with the help of Claude. To create an illustration for his new book's website, he used a single, casual prompt to instruct Claude to build a 3D book rendering app.

The tool allows users to rotate the book in 3D space and adjust various parameters like lighting, shadows, and page bending. The author noted that previously, getting a similar illustration from an online service would cost around $20 per render, highlighting how AI coding tools have drastically reduced costs.
