Make Real: tldraw's accidental AI play
summary
tldraw spawns an accidental product called Make Real that takes canvas drawings and returns working HTML/CSS/JS by calling OpenAI vision/GPT-4, streaming executable pages into iframes. It scales by letting users paste their own OpenAI key to bypass the 30 requests per day limit. Viral traction hits about 40,000 users in a week, demos include live animated games and image OCR to UI, and the prototype mostly works while revealing UX, rate‑limit and commercialization limits.
