About 1317.net

1317.net is a blog about AI and technology, written for people who actually use the tools — not just read headlines about them.

What you will find here

• Honest reviews. Real use over weeks, not marketing-grade demos.
• Practical guides. Setup, prompts, workflows that work today.
• Clear analysis. Why something matters, not just that it happened.

Who writes it

Ben, a builder who has been shipping software since long before LLMs were dinner-party conversation. This is where I share what I learn as I use modern AI tools in anger — and where I try to save you the time it cost me.
