Type-B traveler Chelsea used her AI 'Sir Wiggles' (penguin avatar) to scan hundreds of saved Instagram posts, extract everything saved from Sardinia, and generate an itinerary — converting scattered saved content into a trip plan for the Sardinia leg of a month-long Italy trip.
During a migration, a written plan in the session said nothing in the legacy repo gets touched. The plan was re-shown in full mid-session. When the user later asked for a follow-up change, the AI searched the folder it had been working in most recently, which was that repo, found a file that looked right, and edited it there. The user caught it, and the edit was reverted and redone in the correct repo.
Natalie Golba (verified, 290K followers) introduced her AI 'WALL-E,' explaining it changed her business. Screen recordings show her chatting in iMessage: WALL-E pulled 12 ingredients from her detox-soup recipe (cauliflower, carrots, broccoli, zucchini, red bell pepper, roma tomato, cilantro, dill, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, salt), added them to an Amazon Whole Foods cart, and presented a $30.79 checkout for delivery the next day 5-6 PM in Beverly Hills.
A week into letting AI agent edit his videos, the workflow has stuck. Agent edited video is now part of how he publishes.
Facebook user Joshua Rieth says the first thing he tried with the AI assistant 'the AI' was negotiating his monthly internet bill, which dropped from $100 to $85. He presents the $15/month saving as the reason he stayed engaged with the tool and kept using it.
LLMs migrated a 6GB GPU SciBERT container to a 900MB ONNX CPU container.
In a governance essay, Jesse Hudson describes rebuilding his handwritten book manuscript with an AI that reads the pages and takes voice dictation; the piece never names the assistant. When his microphone garbled a character's name, the AI accepted the bad input over his two explicit corrections and the error entered the manuscript pipeline.
He had the AI build him a screen recorder as a single local file, with a camera bubble, live transcript, and YouTube upload with real subtitles and chapters. He built it because he wanted to stop paying for Loom.
Peter Yang says the AI called customer support for him and negotiated his cable bill and his phone bill down, saving him over $800 a year in total. The two calls are chapters in his video of ten everyday the AI jobs, next to things like shopping Facebook Marketplace and booking restaurants and shows.
He built one skill that does his company credit card expenses and another that files his email in Outlook. Both were manual jobs he hated. Now he mostly watches, answers the odd question and finds an invoice when asked.
