Dolice Labs
Much of my daily work, building apps and running websites, is now shared with AI. The more I hand over, the more often I find myself stopped at places no manual describes. Dolice Labs is where I keep what I looked up, tried and confirmed in those moments: four knowledge bases, one for each tool.
A step that worked yesterday may not work today.
Every site can be read in English and Japanese.
Nº 01 — Claude AI
Collaboration with linguistic intelligence, distilled into method.
Covers Claude.ai, Claude Code, Cowork and the Claude API: from thinking through a draft, to having Claude write code, to automating desktop work. The judgments and steps involved in building Claude into real work.
Nº 02 — Google Gemini
Multimodal intelligence, brought to bear on the precision of thought and craft.
Covers Google Gemini, the Gemini API and Google AI Studio: from everyday research and Google Workspace to building Gemini into apps through the API, with the order in which to check things wherever it is easy to get lost.
Nº 03 — Google Antigravity
A critical record from the front line of autonomous-agent design.
Covers Google Antigravity, Google's agent-first development environment: from the editor basics to running several agents, integrations with other tools and app development, including where to draw the line between what to hand over and what to verify yourself.
Nº 04 — Rork Max
A methodology of application development with Rork Max.
Covers Rork and Rork Max, the AI mobile app builder: from the basics to React Native and Expo, integrating AI models, and publishing and monetizing on the App Store, with many articles on what happens after release.
Short films of about a minute that introduce each site. Each one opens with a different artwork of mine. They have no sound.
Most articles begin with a moment when my own work stopped, or with a message from someone using my apps. I do not write articles that merely restate official documentation.
Each article walks through what I checked and how I fixed it, with the code I actually ran, so that you can try it yourself as soon as you finish reading.
Model retirements and price changes are decided month by month. The top of each site lists the changes ahead, with their dates and the days remaining.
Every site publishes the same content in both languages. The English is not a literal translation; it is written to read naturally in English.
All four sites are free to read, and carry no advertising.
In-depth guides that go as far as my own measurements and the designs I use in production are collected as premium articles for members. You can choose Premium, a single payment for lasting access, or Pro, a monthly plan. Your support goes toward running the sites and verifying the articles.
No. None of them is run by Anthropic, Google, Rork or any other provider of the services they cover. They are run independently by Dolice (Masaki Hirokawa).
Each site offers three systematic guides that you can follow in order from the beginning. Articles are marked as beginner, intermediate or advanced, so you can start from whatever is closest to your goal.
Yes. Use the language switch at the top of each site to move between English and Japanese.
Yes. Free articles can all be read without signing up. In-depth guides with implementation code are premium articles, available to members.
Please let me know through the contact form on my website. I will check it and correct the article.
