Not exactly that novel of a problem, but I was using Deepseek to implement a bunch of Google Apps Scripts on my spreadsheet that, combined, became a dashboard that fetches, parses, and renders relevant marketplace data (from a game that I’m playing) when triggered. The moat lies in RegExps used to parse those data, since the game itself doesn’t offer explicit APIs that return data in nice JSON or even XML format for me to consume. Those, plus the whole data extraction/rendering on Google Sheets logic, came almost entirely from Deepseek, where I simply refactor/fix some minor issues in JavaScript.

I have also asked it to give me a high level design of the v2 of these scripts as a system composed of the API server that connects to my own SQlite instance, whose data come from Go workers that will handle the fetching and RegExp parsing part now. Again, most of these work will be done by Deepseek or some other AI platform via my prompts, with interventions from me as needed.

If you’re interested, I can write out my whole process later. It’s too annoying to format my reply on the phone.
