# Announcing Cliche

Hi there!
My background: over the last 10 years I have created quite some tools in open-source, but now in the AI era this is more interesting than ever.
With LLMs, I found that those pesky/time consuming tasks are suddenly achievable without getting tired.
I created cliche a few years ago and it had been used at the companies I worked at before, but I never made the push to publicly announce it since it had a lot of rough edges.
So over the last few weeks (which is honestly very long when using a lot of LLMs) I have built upon a package that I hope will be useful to the Python ecosystem.
While the code was largely generated by an LLM, I've written this post myself to ensure it remains personal and avoids the 'AI slop' label, please give it an honest chance :)
Without further ado, I am pretty excited to announce the (mostly finished) preview of cliche:
