Building a Multimedia Creative Suite with Zero coding or programing knowledge (Using Chat GPT code copilot, Open AI Codex, and Wind Surf - GPT 5.4 & 5.5 + Claude Opus 4.6 & 4.7)
Have you ever been so frustrated with a program or an app to the point that you wish you could just make your own?
Because that was me. That was me 100%, without question.
Meet Spyglass Studio! A premise to Premiere, All in one creative suite meant for any aspect of any video production. From short form content to Short film creations!
So, about 3-ish weeks ago, give or take, I decided to ask AI, could it help make me a tool for being able to write out information while I'm editing? Because I always ran into the issue with not being able to properly, let's say, brainstorm or formulate my thoughts while I'm in the middle of doing my edits. And my current video editor programs didn't actually allow anything to help make that process a little bit easier outside of just taking my notepad on my computer and just making it a tiny window and displaying it right then and there on top of my editor.
So what I did, with zero knowledge of coding or programming experience, anything whatsoever, I started building an app. So this is a currently functional program that I built using Node, Electron, and a couple other things. It is packed to the brim with so many tools, from converters to exporters for media editing (Wavesurfer, FFMPEG, Open Source Timeline handlers, AI Demucs Vocal Remover , and more).
And surprisingly, I have been able to develop something that runs fast, that is snappy, that is responsive, that you can use alongside other editors. It's not really meant to replace something like Adobe or Cyberlink or DaVinci Resolve, and it's especially not meant to replace Audacity, but it is something that you can definitively use hand in hand alongside those programs. And the very best part? the very best part about my program, full customizable layout for any user, from panel sizing, panel placement, panel use, everything can be freely manipulated and edited and set up however the user wants.
I'm not quite done yet, but I'm learning slowly about the community of people that actually build stuff using AI, and I just wanted to share it!
