Set up a personalized agent (Mele) to monitor airfare from a baseline

The Hawaii travel account describes testing the AI for an upcoming trip: a personalized agent named Mele monitors airfare against a baseline and checks official travel conditions across the six major Hawaiian islands on a schedule, notifying only on meaningful price changes or visitor-affecting updates. The post carries a paid partnership disclosure.

HobbiesPartly worked

My first model designed with AI 4 is a popcorn bucket

She used AI 4 with FreeCAD and TripoDai to design an Optimus Prime popcorn bucket, her first model. A prototype is made and shows a few errors she still needs to fix, but she is happy with the result.

This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.

Run back office for my nail salon and yogurt store

In a #metapartner showcase, entrepreneur Krystal Oh — who runs a nail salon and a yogurt store solo — shows on-screen chats with her AI 'Coco' handling back-office work: drafting a refund request for an empty box of masks, remembering meetings, sending notifications, helping manage expenses, onboarding employees and scheduling calendars. She says she previously spent thousands on human assistants who never understood her businesses.

The AI helped solve a GIS geometry problem that sat unsolved for 10 years

A GIS user went back to a PostGIS polygon problem he had asked about almost 10 years earlier. Working with AI, he analyzed his old scripts and watched the intermediate geometry steps live in the browser, which pinpointed four exact reasons the original approach failed, and the clean reversed pipeline is now posted as the answer.

Generate parallel exam versions B, C and D from my master quiz

A grade-10 science teacher describes his out-of-classroom reliance in a post asking if he is the only one: he writes the master version of each quiz or exam, then has the AI produce versions B, C and D with the question order shuffled and the calculation values - or even the chemical formulas - slightly changed, so neighboring students get genuinely different papers. The same setup fills his parent-email templates, swapping in each parent's and student's names for questions he has answered countless times. He double-checks everything before it goes out.
