I’ve been experimenting with letting an AI agent customise the app it runs inside by editing its source code and rebuilding it on-device. This is a private personal project I’ve been building to bring my research feeds together in one place (no intention to release publicly). I was about to add customisation options to the settings, then realised I already had an AI agent connected through my own API keys. So I thought: why not let the agent do the work? The video shows an example of making a new theme and then implementing it via the app’s settings. It lets me preview it before applying and once applied I can always restore the app to the original state if needed. The idea is to allow more customisation than I could reasonably support through settings and without having to build a set of custom themes. The end results is an agent that can edit the presentation but the underlying data structure and core functionality stay protected. Just thought it was neat and not seen something like it elsewhere. Interested to see how much customisation this could allow in apps going forward without having to anticipate every preference submitted by /u/osbornep
