After I tried out some of the featured apps on the home page, I was able to build my own in minutes and publish it publicly - GeoFlix, check it out!
All I did was to provide the prompt that "the app should identify and suggest movies that prominently feature specified locations or place names within their storylines."
I edited the pre-created app name to GeoFlix and clicked on the "Make public and Share" button.
AWS is offering new PartyRock users a free trial without the need to provide a credit card or sign up for an AWS account for a limited time. The percentage balance reflecting the amount of free trial usage remaining for your account is displayed in real time within PartyRock on your Backstage profile page as PartyRock credit. PartyRock credit is calculated by your input tokens, output tokens, and generated images. PartyRock Credit usage varies by model to help users build intuition on cost consideration when using generative AI.
The relative consumption of each model is expressed in a scale of (1-3 token stacks) on the model selection dropdown. A (3 token stack) will consume the most credit, a (2 token stack) will consume moderate credit, and a (1 token stack) will consume the least credit.
While the free trial usage limit seems liberal, you have to be watchful of your consumption quota, which model you use and how may tokens are used while interacting with your apps or those created by others.
With some prompting, the Claude model also generated this description for the app -
Discover the magic of movie locations with GeoFlix. Our innovative app allows you to explore the world through the lens of cinema by identifying films that prominently feature real-world places. Just search for a city, country, or other geographic location, and GeoFlix will suggest relevant titles and provide fascinating details about how the setting is used in each movie's narrative. Whether you're planning a trip, studying a region, or just want to be transported somewhere new, GeoFlix makes it easy to find films that authentically showcase destinations worldwide.
PartyRock is indeed a great way to experiment with prompt engineering techniques, review generated responses, and develop an intuition for generative AI while creating and exploring fun apps!

There was a question recently on my CodeProject article "Dynamically generate a MS Word document using HTML & CSS" . The article describes how to generate a Word document programmatically without using any components, by exploiting the formatting features exposed through Office XML and CSS. The questioner wanted to know how to add a custom header and footer and show something like Page X of Y (total pages). Based on what I have tried so far, showing a header and footer using Office XML in MS Word is not as easy as it is in Excel . If you want to keep the code simple & don't need any great fireworks i.e. you will just settle for page numbers in the header or footer then it's a matter of adding a few lines to the original source code. The code can be viewed at this Github Gist Update (1-Sep-2010): To add a custom header & footer, check this new post To add a footer that shows Page number at the bottom right, here are the steps - 1) Add these classes...
Way back in 2004, a project I was working on required a web page to be exported as a Word document (.DOC). Without relying on any components, I utilized the Office XML & HTML technique to implement this feature. I posted my sample on CodeProject to seek feedback. Over the years, I've received some generous comments & feature requests. Many wanted to know how to add a header & footer to the dynamically generated Word document. With the help of the Microsoft Office HTML and XML Reference , I devised a hack to add a lacklustre header and/or footer . Some folks wanted to customize the contents of the header & footer but when they tried with my hack that offered limited functionality, the header/footer text showed up in the document body to their annoyance. This July, an ingenious developer posted a hack that can overcome this problem, in the Comments section of my CodeProject article. His practical workaround was to pack the duplicating header/footer text inside a t...
This Week I Learned - * Meta has acquired Moltbook, the viral "social network for AI agents" where bots (many powered by OpenClaw) interact while humans observe. * Meta acquired Manus, the AI agent startup for approximately $2 billion. * OpenClaw’s creator, Peter Steinberger, has joined OpenAI. * The OpenClaw project has been moved to an independent open-source foundation to ensure it remains free and accessible under its MIT license. * The Batch - - The U.S. military uses AWS to run the unclassified version of Anthropic Claude. - Claude is integrated with Maven Smart System (MSS), a system for targeting and logistics built by Palantir. - Claude/MSS played a role in the January operation that captured Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro, but the actions in Iran are its first use in “major war operations.” - The Qwen3.5 family of open-weights vision-language models includes impressive larger models as well as a smaller one that outperforms an OpenAI open-weights model 1...
