So tell us all about your latest creation.
28:13
So there is a backstory to this.
28:17
So I'm a lawyer by trade, which I guess in the UK you guys would call me a solicitor.
28:23
Well done.
28:24
But as a part of my jobs, all of the things that I've done have required me to do a lot of training people, whether it be training colleagues on how our employer could comply with the law or training the public on what their rights were under the law.
28:45
As we all know, a lot of training people in the world today revolves around creating PowerPoint presentations.
28:54
And I love creating the presentations.

excellent.

Why did you make that decision?
14:13
When I started creating the app, I had no idea if it would even be successful.
14:19
I never vibe coded anything in my life.
14:24
I had no expectations other than I want to try this.
14:28
And as it started growing and I started to see its potential and what I could actually achieve working with Codex, my original thought honestly was, I'm going to probably just make this available free to people and let any screen reader use it.
14:45
That was my original intent once I realized it could actually be something.
14:51
Then, as you know, because we both tested it with NVDA, NVDA really didn't work well with the app.
18:15
And then, you know, I've got it, but you continually offer, you know, testing, refining, and even through Harchin Consultancy tech support for the app.
