We learned that narrow domain tools are where AI-assisted builds can feel immediately useful. Counterlock works because the user has a specific question, the output is actionable, and the result can be checked in-game.
This project was built as part of our May 2026 challenge: ship one small, judged AI-assisted product every day and be honest about where the tools help, where they get in the way, and where human taste still does the heavy lifting.
The score below reflects how strong the AI-assisted result is: not just whether it shipped, but whether it escaped generic slop and became something with a point.
Our rating
A solid result that mostly escapes slop. The idea is clear, the AI helped move it forward, and the remaining work is mostly product refinement.
