349 new ideas this week

Level up how you use AI

Real things everyday people got it to do, and how to try them yourself.

Shuffle again

A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.

Agent ran cold spray simulations and chose next runs

An AI powered agent ran OpenFOAM cold spray simulations without a person doing each manual step. It read deposit results, spotted failed runs from solver logs, and decided the next simulation, with an animation made for each run.

Footwear seller taught himself to code with AI and the AI, then built his own studio-photo app in under 6 hours

After two days of failing to find a product studio app that fit, this footwear seller got a prompt workflow from Shopify's own assistant, then had the AI teach him VS Code with AI to generate store sections from reference images, which let him drop paid landing-page builders. He then built his own app that bulk-turns product photos into studio-quality images (4 images in 40 seconds) at about a third of the cost of the app he liked but found too expensive.

My agent watches for date nights and found the last show at a theater my husband loves

Every few days the AI checks for date night ideas for Eleanor Konik: English language opera near her, what is playing at local dinner theaters, and anything unusually cheap, and it emails her when something fits. It found Grease as the very last show in the old building of a dinner theater her husband has wanted to take her to for years, and a Young Frankenstein showing at a dinner theater an hour away she had never heard of, which she went to.

My agent cleaned up my TV show files on my NAS

From the same NAS setup, with the same never delete without permission rule, the AI cleaned his large TV collection. Many files had come from torrents and carried extra junk: text files, .nfo files and samples. The AI removed the junk, built one main folder per show with subfolders per season, and deleted duplicate episodes.

Plan a week of content cited to my own documents

The AI built a seven-day social and community content calendar from a Drive folder of the tester's existing content notes and quarterly goal. Every post topic, hook and call to action cited the exact Google Doc section it came from, with working links.
