Designer tomjohndesign built a big-rig route planner with AI that takes his actual axle count, wheelbase, and towing dimensions, then uses satellite and elevation data to determine whether tight roads are passable for his camper setup.
He finds it so useful he's considering monetizing it, though it needs more work — a concrete example of an AI-assisted niche tool solving a real pain point.
