The AI built the QNAP app I needed. It installed and works.

He needed an app on his QNAP NAS that only existed as open source Linux code, with no NAS package. He gave the AI the model, the AI searched the web and gave him a downloadable package in about ten and a half minutes, and he installed it and it works.

How it works

  1. He asks the AI to create the app and gives it the NAS model
  2. The AI searches the web
  3. About ten and a half minutes later the AI gives him a downloadable package
  4. He installs it and it works

Why it’s worth knowing

The app simply did not exist for his NAS, and about ten minutes after asking he had a package that installed and ran.
