Japan Man, 89, Uses ChatGPT As "Mentor" To Create Apps For Elderly

Mr Suzuki used to work at a trading house but developed an interest in computing in later life, taking a programming course in the early 2010s.

Japanese 89-year-old Tomiji Suzuki started coding in retirement and is now making apps for the fast-growing elderly demographic, using ChatGPT to fine-tune his skills.

So far Suzuki has developed 11 free iPhone apps to help Japan's aging population, including his latest: a slideshow of items to remember when leaving the house, from a wallet and hearing aids to patient registration cards.

He was inspired to create the app, which features his granddaughter's voice, after he realised he had forgotten his dentures as he was about to board a bullet train.
