Description
I've been building AI products for a while. For this one I made a deliberate choice: none of the 16 tools use AI. Meeting cost calculators, freelance rate calculators, PRD generators, runway calculators, sprint retro boards — these problems don't need a language model. They need a well-designed form and correct arithmetic. Built on Nuxt 4 + Vue 3, fully static, runs in your browser. No account required to use anything. Optional Firebase auth only kicks in if you want to save output. Irony worth naming: Claude Code was my pair programmer throughout. The choice wasn't anti-AI — it was about using the right tool for the right problem. Happy to talk stack, the non-AI tradeoffs, or anything else.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a vertical saas tool for Insurance yet.
