The AI on his phone clones projects, builds his features in, and ships the app back to the phone
Uses the AI on his phone to clone projects, build his features in, build the app and push it to his phone, usually not upstreaming.
Real things everyday people got it to do, and how to try them yourself.
A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.

An ‘Invoice Terminator’ the AI desk closes its owner’s month every month, pinging him only for 2FA and a final yes; on one run it caught a $64 Cursor invoice that would otherwise have escaped unpaid and unnoticed. The monthly close runs itself, with the human as a checkpoint, not a worker.
The AI took a webinar email and made a calendar event for it on its own. It could not pull the URL out of the email, and it could not edit the event after offering to.
Sojourn for iOS was built from 45 one-shot prompts and shipped as an app.
Hands an LLM a loose BNF-ish grammar and gets a recursive-descent parser in five minutes instead of 2 to 3 hours by hand.
His medical assistant runs every evening at 8pm and asks if he wants to log the day. He types a sentence or two and the AI turns it into structured logs of his sleep, food, mood and medicine, and during his appointments he can ask the AI to make charts from those logs.
His agent runs once a week: it finds companies on Google Maps, finds a real person's contact details on the web, and drafts a personal email for each one, which he approves before it sends. Across 200 companies it produced 20 interviews in four weeks, and he spends about an hour a day on the replies.
The AI sent a notification that it had spotted an email from TripIt, the vacation-planning app Ulanoff uses, about a password change he had forgotten making. The agent wanted to make sure he'd seen the email verifying it was him.
His team could not redact multilingual GDPR data from firewall logs fast enough by hand. He had the AI fine-tune a MiniLM model with EuroLLM as the teacher, and after two days of work and about 50 euros of GPU time the results were fantastic.
