Custom WordPress Calculator Plugin

Tags: ChatGPT | Generative AI

Summary: I developed a custom WordPress plugin that functions as a water pump calculator, with the help of Claude 3.5 Sonnet. By providing a screenshot of an existing calculator, I prompted Claude to replicate it, resulting in a fully functional tool that can be easily integrated into any WordPress site.

The Challenge

The screenshot above was taken of an active calculator on a client’s website that we couldn’t replicate easily into WordPress. The client needed to stay in a free or low-cost budget so a premium plugin that required a license fee was out of the question.

The Process

Enter Claude 3.5 Sonnet – I prompted asking the LLM to review the uploaded screenshot of the form to analyze what it was seeing.

Claude responded back with a positive response and we spent the next 30 minutes working through the style and function of the form, then I asked it to create a WordPress plugin and walk me through installing it.

Claude even wrote the shortcode for me.

Generative AI Podcast Audio from Deck Presentation

Multimedia Communication

This project addresses the challenge of creating accessible, multimodal content that engages diverse learning styles without requiring extensive manual effort. By utilizing NotebookLM, I transformed a static PDF presentation deck into an interactive podcast audio file, allowing learners to engage with the material through auditory content. This solution enhances accessibility and saves time, making it easier to deliver information in multiple formats for different audience needs.
