CantYet the registry of what AI can't do — yet

What can't your AI do — yet?

CantYet keeps track of things you wanted an AI to do but couldn't. Log them from inside your assistant, keep them private, and publish the ones worth solving — until someone, or the next model release, closes them.

What is a Yet?

A ledger for what AI cannot do yet

A Yet is something you wanted an AI to do, but it could not do yet. CantYet keeps those moments as records, so when the capability finally arrives, the change becomes visible.

1

What counts as a Yet

A concrete first-hand record: what you wanted, what you tried, and what actually happened. It is not a rant or a vague wish list item.

2

Why keep the record

Today's failure becomes tomorrow's evidence. When a model, product, or workflow starts solving it, the timestamp shows how the frontier moved.

3

Why capture through AI

The assistant can record the failure while the context is still fresh: the tool, the prompt or steps, and the observed limitation.

4

Private first

Yets start private. Publish only the records that may help other people, vendors, or model builders understand demand.

When a Yet closes, it marks a change in the world

CantYet is not just a notebook of broken prompts. It is a way to see which AI limitations disappeared, how long they stayed open, and who was waiting for them to be solved.

Anatomy of a Yet

Four fields, enforced. Rants don't fit the template — records do.

Can't keep slide layouts when translating a deck

What I wanted
Translate a 32-slide sales deck from Japanese to English without changing any layout, spacing, or object positions.
What I tried
Uploaded the .pptx and prompted: translate all text to English, keep every layout identical. Also tried per-slide translation and pasting text boxes individually.
What happened
Text boxes overflowed and reflowed on 11 slides; two diagrams lost their labels entirely. Manual fixing took longer than translating by hand.
