Spotted: found in the wild. Details are as reported by the source above and have not been independently verified.
They had Gemini single-shot a proper in-browser photo editing tool for autocropping photos of scans, complete with auto-placing a non-rectangular quad cropping zone for rotation and perspective correction, edge snapping and other editing features.
It wasn’t correct on the first try, but having AI build the tool was much faster than finding an existing one for the job, even with all the heavy lifting done through a JS port of OpenCV.
When you can't find an existing tool for a specific editing or processing job, describe exactly what you need to [your AI assistant] (e.g. a cropping zone, specific corrections, edge snapping) and ask it to build a single-page, in-browser tool for it. Iterate on the first draft rather than expecting it correct on the first try.
