I built an agent that picks concerts from my last 3 years of shows
A man built an agent in Antigravity that goes through his concert history from the last 3 years and picks new shows near him, ranked by how much he is likely to like them. It also filters shows by 18 plus or all ages, so he can take his daughter.
I handed the AI a game plan. It published the card game 23 hours later.
He wrote the plan and designed 150 cards with AI, then gave the pack to the AI and wrote no code himself. The AI planned, built and tested the roguelite card game LAST CROWN, and it was public about 23 hours later, free with no sign up. It has 161 cards and 38 duelists, and got 14 updates in the next three and a half days.
'Muffy' planned healthy weeknight dinners (30 min or less, lunch leftovers): lemon
Giulia Dugo Grindle (77K; tech worker, creator, charity board) personalized her agent 'Muffy' and asked via voice input for healthy weeknight dinners of 30 minutes or less that also provide lunch leftovers. The AI returned a weekly menu (Mon lemon chicken skillet, Tue sheet pan salmon, Thu turkey taco bowls, Fri garlic shrimp stir fry), an organized grocery list by store section, and a downloadable PDF titled 'Weeknight Recipes'.

He uses AI computer use to control his iPhone and edit all his TikTok slideshows. It frees his hands completely, and he spends that time reading books.
He built the life logging app he had wanted for years in eight days, driving the AI from his phone
For years he wanted one place to log anything about his life in one tap: coffee, mood, sleep, a run, a line about his day, with no account, no ads and no streak counter. Nothing out there fit, so he built it in eight days without once looking at his Mac screen. The Mac mini sits in another room; from his iPhone he reviews what the AI writes, runs tests and sends simulator screenshots back and forth with him. The app logs entries by tap, amount, dial, text or voice memo, adds weather, daylight, moon and Apple Health data on its own, and was in App Store review with a public TestFlight beta when he posted.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
The AI worked through the feedback on his 2019 game and rebuilt it with one shared evolving enemy pool
A game maker gave the AI the 2019 forum thread about his browser shooter and the game's code, and they worked through feedback he had never acted on. The game now restores full health each round, shows a scoreboard on the game over screen, spawns enemies at a safe distance, and fixes an aiming bug. The biggest change is one shared enemy population on a server, so every round anyone plays moves the evolution forward.
The AI built a board-game engine and trained a bot that beats the best open bot

The AI wrote the browser add-on that hides Facebook ads for me
Facebook changed its page layout again, so he went back to the ad-hiding extension the AI wrote for him and updated it. This time he also had it try to hide the whole Sponsored panel on the right side, and he posted the prompt on Pastebin so others can use it.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.

His Blender agent built and animated a spaceship, then caught its own thrusters firing into the ship and rebuilt them
A man built a chat copilot inside Blender in a day, at a total cost of $7.18, then gave it 5 sentences. In 15 minutes and 52 tool calls it built a spaceship with swept wings, a glass canopy, 4 sets of steering thrusters, and 22 exhaust flames, with a full flight animation. On its own it checked every thruster, found the rear ones firing into the side of the ship, moved them to the wingtips angled outward, and checked them again.
