When I first watched Kyle’s submission video, I rewatched it. The generation of textures and tooling to build the competition entry was a clever act of mastery. It wasn’t just learning AI tools (which he shares interesting insights on), but in using AI to build AI tools to then build the competition entry itself.

So let’s dive into it.

Kyle Sebeysten discusses in his “Spring into AI” competition video on building projects in public. The creator, Kyle, shares his first submission for Week 1: Data Visualizations, Dashboards, and Interactivity.

He showcases “Sky Stats,” an interactive dashboard (2:34) exploring commercial flight data. The dashboard, primarily generated using Vercel V0’s AI app, includes:

  • Randomly generated flight data for mock scenarios.

  • Real aircraft statistics pulled using ChatGPT, like “weight by manufacturer” and “weight by aircraft model”.

  • Interactive filters to slice data by manufacturer, country, and airline.

  • A 3D globe with a custom texture and animated 3D airplane models flying around it, all created with AI using Three.js.

Kyle highlights the ease of creating tools and automating processes with AI through natural language prompts. He mentions building zero code for this project, showcasing the power of AI in development.

Watch the finished production.

This is a really neat project, with the airplanes flying around the globe a masterclass in adding a sprinkling of fine touch to a project.
