## Summary

A developer created a personal home inventory web app using Google Sheets and Google Apps Script (GAS) with help from AI coding assistants. The app lets users search for products on a smartphone and open order pages. Voice search was dropped because of browser microphone restrictions in Apps Script, so the app uses text-based filtering instead. Debugging with Claude took over half a day. The developer is now distributing the project as a setup kit that anyone with a Google account can install on a computer and then use from a smartphone browser.

## Key points

- App built with Google Sheets and Google Apps Script for home stock management
- Developer used Claude then switched to Codex after hitting usage limits
- Kit distributed for free; requires Google account and computer for setup

## Why it matters

Shows how individuals can combine low-code Google tools with multiple AI assistants to build personal utilities, and highlights practical limits like usage caps and browser restrictions.
