About this project
A modern collection of web utilities for everyday tasks, from Base64 encoding to speech-to-text conversion, built with a clean interface and optimized for mobile.
The Story Behind It
I initially built WorkGenius AI out of frustration with existing Base64 encoder/decoder tools online. When language models were first released, Base64 encoding a prompt was a simple jailbreak technique (now patched), but I found the available tools were not optimized for mobile, full of ads, and had outdated UIs.
What started as a simple utility for my own use evolved into a collection of modern web tools. I realized there was an opportunity to revive the concept of web utilities that were popular 10-20 years ago, but with a modern spin using today's tech stack. It was also a personal exercise to see how quickly I could deploy something useful online.
Key Features
- Speech-to-Text: Browser-based transcription using OpenAI's Whisper API
- Base64 Encoding/Decoding: Clean, mobile-optimized interface
- Multiple Utilities: Word counter, JSON formatter, color toolkit, and more
- Modern Authentication: User accounts via Clerk
- Mobile-First Design: Optimized for both desktop and mobile experiences
Speech-to-Text Feature
The speech-to-text tool is one of my favorite features. I've been surprised Apple hasn't shipped state-of-the-art speech-to-text transcription in iOS, so this fills a gap I personally found useful, especially on mobile.
Tech Stack
- Framework: Next.js with app router
- Language: TypeScript
- Styling: Tailwind CSS
- UI Components: Shadcn UI
- Deployment: Vercel
- Authentication: Clerk
- AI Integration: OpenAI Whisper API
- Development: Cursor (LLM-assisted IDE)
Development Process
The initial deployment took only about two hours, showcasing the efficiency of modern web development tools. I've since added more utilities based on personal needs and feedback. The project demonstrates how quickly useful web applications can be built and deployed with today's stack.
