11 open source AI projects developers will love

Upscayl

Sometimes an image just needs a little more detail to make it look good on a page. Upscayl (see the GitHub project here) increases the image resolution for the desired sharpness and detail. If you have the right hardware, this is a great way to enhance digital artwork or add detail to a photo. Remember that the AI ​​is essentially hallucinating these details. This means that Upscayl is ideal for enhancing fictional images created by a digital artist, but not so good for images that require absolute accuracy, such as documenting evidence at a crime scene.

Nyro

Developers spend a lot of time interacting with the computer’s operating system through the command line. Although they’re easy to miss, all those seconds add up. Nyro is an open source Electron-based project that handles everyday tasks like taking screenshots, resizing windows, and syncing data between applications. By automating mundane tasks like these, you can save many small fractions of time, ultimately leading to a big increase in productivity.

Geppetto

Some development teams do most of their work in Slack channels, so the posts end up being pretty solid first-generation documentation. Geppetto is a Slackbot that connects your channels to several different LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini), which can clean and improve your thoughts. Geppetto will even send a request to Dall-E if you want art to bring your documentary to life.
