2000 multimodal patent project rebuilt in a few Grok prompts 26 years later

An engineer who built a voice+HTML multimodal blackjack table in 2000 — using VoiceXML, Nuance ASR, and months of integration work that led to patents — rebuilt the same idea with Grok in a few prompts: full 3D table, dealer, chips, and a persistent mic where you just say "hit" or "stand".
His takeaway: the hard part in 2000 was integration, and that part has become trivial, showing how AI tooling has driven integration costs toward zero.
