# Labs · pococo Small AI apps, free to use, left switched on. Labs is where pococo tests what today's tools can do, in public. Nothing here is recommended to a client that has not been built first. ## Guten Glance, live at https://gutenglance.com A daily spoiler-free excerpt from a classic book. - Picks a book at random from Project Gutenberg each day and parses it. - Gemini 3 Flash selects the passage most worth reading under one constraint: give nothing away. It then tags the excerpt by theme. - Every passage links to the full book on Project Gutenberg. Public domain, so no paywall and no account. - Social layer: profiles, bookmarks, comments, replies, voting. Full admin and moderation behind it, with a configurable refresh schedule. The constraint is the point. "Find the best passage" is search. "Find the best passage that doesn't spoil the book" needs the model to understand what the book is doing. ## Simul, in build Side-by-side web translation, as a Chrome extension. - Shows a page in two languages side by side: the real page, which stays live and interactive, and a read-only mirror of it in your language. - Fixes what browser autotranslation breaks. Rewriting a page in place breaks its forms; Simul never touches the page you are filling in, and the mirror beside it is inert by design. - Translation runs on your own machine, not on a server. - Source: https://github.com/aredna/simul, MIT license. ## What's next More labs in progress. One that proves useful graduates into a product. One that does not has taught us something cheaply. Feedback: hello@pococo.ai
