One-shot a SketchUp plugin in Ruby, a language he does not know, for his wife, enabling easy 2D export from SketchUp.
Eleanor Konik writes that she hates requesting books through the county library website, so she told the AI to find books about chess aimed at a bright 6-year-old; the AI picked titles and requested them using her library account.
