The AI wrote a spec, got it reviewed and built a v1 of a new feature for his meal-prep app before he got home from errands.
A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.

Plan my family's meals for my weight-loss challenge
A dad of two under two steered the AI to build Forkcast, a weekly meal-planning and calorie-tracking web app, because existing apps plan only a day at a time. It generates his grocery list from the week's plan and imports recipes from photos and labels for his 90-day weight-loss challenge.
I order my family's usual dinner by saying one word
His agent knows his family's usual orders at their regular places. He says one word and dinner is handled. The agent places the order he has already taught it, with no menu reading or form filling from him.
Booked a Thai restaurant via OpenTable as part of a delegated productive-day
Parker Pannell showed the AI booking a Thai restaurant via OpenTable alongside the $150 suit purchase, $295 in found subscriptions, and drafted email replies. He framed the day as checking off a completed goal with a companion at the restaurant, emphasizing the AI’s calendar and Instagram integration and its ability to act with or without approval.

His family meal plan runs off a monthly freezer count and a factory style parts list
He built a meal planning setup for his family around their tastes, his dietary needs and two picky kids. Once a month he counts the freezer, including the random leftovers from bulk meat buys, and the plan works like a factory parts list so shopping quantities come out right. The family wastes much less food, dinner is always ready to be made, and eating out because there is nothing at home has mostly stopped; he still shops by hand because his supermarket has no public way for a tool to fill a cart.
My agent picks five recipes from my own cookbooks and fills my Ocado basket
A man gave the AI access to his Ocado account and digital copies of all his cookbooks. The AI built a database of his recipes, picks five for the week inside his budget including delivery, puts the ingredients in his basket and booked the delivery slot on its own. It also tells him which book and page each recipe comes from.
Booked a Sunday 10:30 AM brunch reservation at Baltaire in Brentwood through
Seany (verified, 7.9M followers) spent a day exploring 'the coolest and most viral restaurants in LA' with his AI 'Locca' (a fox avatar). Locca suggested Baltaire in Brentwood for its viral tableside cinnamon-roll brunch; Seany booked Sunday Sep 13 at 10:30 AM through the app, visited, tried caviar for the first time, and called the cinnamon roll 'the greatest dessert I've EVER had.' Locca also picked lunch (Faregrounds, Beverly Hills) and dessert (ChocoDip LA, North Hollywood) spots he
Optimize my family's weekly basket by unit price, cart stays mine
A father of two wired the AI to a grocery MCP connector and runs his real 20-item family basket through constraint prompts (household of four, $150 budget, peanut-free, one vegetarian meal a day): The AI returns per-item unit prices, promotions, cheaper substitutes and buy/sale/skip verdicts, catching traps like a 64 oz club jar costing more per ounce than the 32 oz jar. Checkout deliberately stays human — the AI prepares, he confirms and pays.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
The AI splits his grocery list between two supermarkets and orders from both
He gives the AI his shopping list and it compares prices at his two local supermarkets, which sit next to each other, then places a click and collect order with each one holding only the items that are cheapest there.
