I Couldn’t Code. Then Little Chicken Went Into a Black Hole.

Sat Aug 22, 2026

I’m Eric Rosner, a Los Angeles creative and dad who spent years at places like Nickelodeon making characters and motion. I could imagine a tiny chicken living in an iPhone. I could not, until recently, ship the software myself.

Agentic coding changed that. AI agents helped me turn drawings and jokes into a real iOS app: Ask Little Chicken, a playful character for kids about ages 5–8. No fake “revolutionary edtech” pitch. Just silly questions, warm animation, and something parents can try together.

The same pipeline feeds the shorts. Little Chicken Goes Into a Black Hole is AI video + craft: cute setup, cosmic punchline, made to rewatch. Watch it on YouTube, then meet the chicken in the app while it’s free.

I’ll post here weekly: character notes, AI video experiments for kids content, and honest agentic-coding lessons from a non-programmer who shipped anyway.
