Downloading from GitHub

Running the code

Should you wish to run the system yourself, here are some notes (the system is written in Python, so you'll need to have set up a coding environment like Visual Studio Code in which to run the program).

Downloading from GitHub

You can download the solution from this GitHub site.

The start of the system's GitHub page.

The files on the left include detailed explanations of how the system works, and even a sample email for submitting the system to Wise Owl!

Given all of this content is generated by Claude Code, this is pretty impressive.

Copying and pasting the code

You can choose to copy one of two files:

File name	Contents
web_app.py	The code needed to create and show a Flask website
owl_word_chain.py	The code needed to create and show a GUI system using Python's TKinter module

Whichever file you click on, you can then copy its code:

Click on the button shown to copy your chosen file's code.

I then pasted this into a new Python file in Visual Studio code (here I've gone for the web version of the code):

The code in Python in Visual Studio Code

You should get 251 or 278 lines of expert code (depending on whether you go for the web or GUI version), all entirely written by Claude Code!

Running the code

You can now run your code in your Python environment (Visual Studio Code in my case). If you've used the web version, you'll then need to click to show the web site:

Hold down the Ctrl key and click on the URL shown to see your system.

You're now good to go!

You can now start using your system, as shown in the previous part of this blog.

How is is possible that humanity has got to the point where a computer can generate a system like this? To see how Jon created it, read on.
