A planned service that turns plain-language descriptions into embeddable calculators with inputs, formulas, worked examples, and domain restrictions.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-05 issue.

Field notes

The planned workflow accepts a plain-language request and is intended to return structured inputs, an exposed formula, a worked example, and embed code. The illustrative paint calculator shows editable room dimensions, ceiling height, coat count, and doors, then explains its area and coverage assumptions. The page says embeds can be limited to specified domains and that formulas will run in a sandboxed calculation engine. The displayed calculator is explicitly a mock-up, with the generator scheduled for a stated 13 September launch.
