My agent plans my workouts from my calendar and my own results, and I cancelled 20 dollars of subscriptions
A man set the AI to pull each week's workouts from training providers he used to pay for, since they post the sessions free but late. The AI checks his calendar for when he can train, offers him two options a day, then records what he actually did and how it felt, and uses that history to scale future sessions. A few weeks in it is saving him 20 dollars a month in subscriptions.

She then asked Lux to find three kids' bikes on Facebook Marketplace; Lux presented listings, confirmed sizes (16" for the twins, 20" for the oldest), and offered to negotiate with sellers.
Naver blocks the AI’s browser, so the AI writes and a local script publishes
A Korean AI educator split his Naver Blog automation in two after learning Naver blocks the AI’s browser tools by policy: The AI drafts posts into a queue file on a schedule, and a Playwright script on his own computer publishes them daily via launchd. Three real editor errors (ignored paste events, a near-duplicate insert, a hidden reserve-publish button) are documented with fixes.
Source and order the parts for my DIY bag charm
