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!

Some of the most beloved tracks in pop history are built on lyrics that, on paper, should be complete gibberish. Yet they somehow feel profound, catchy, and emotionally true. It’s remarkably similar to how modern AI strings together convincing words — fluent, rhythmic, and evocative, even when there’s no deeper literal meaning behind them. Two perfect examples are Nik Kershaw’s 1984 synth-pop earworm “The Riddle” and A.R. Rahman’s infectious “Mental Madhilo” (Telugu) / “Mental Manadhil” (Tamil) from the 2015 film OK Bangaram / O Kadhal Kanmani . Both prove that sometimes the less the words mean, the more they resonate. Nik Kershaw has been refreshingly honest for decades: “The Riddle” is deliberate nonsense. He scribbled the cryptic, vivid lines (“Near a tree by a river, there’s a hole in the ground / Where an old man of Aran goes around and around”) as a temporary guide vocal and never replaced them. The band loved the flow, the public turned it into a massive hit, and generations ha...
Key takeaways from Ryan Kitchens talk "How Did Things Go Right? Learning More from Incidents" based on his experience at Netflix: Failure is ever-present in modern software systems Success isn’t necessarily the absence of failure, and having 99.999% uptime is practically meaningless if the users are unable to use the system as they intend. Safety, great performance, and sources of resilience do not come from the absence of failure but rather the presence of adaptive capacity . Moving from "Why did things go wrong?" ask "How did things go right?" is a challenging but valuable exercise. Find out - What's going on when it seems like nothing is happening? When failure does occur, what's going to keep it from being worse? How do teams adapt successfully when preventative techniques fail? How should we prioritize the effort to develop systems that help us safely manage the consequences of failure? Recovery is better than prevention. An incident occurs w...
