A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Had the AI add the exact features he wanted to the FreeRDP client and generate a lightweight server from scratch, replacing TeamViewer, Windows RDP and RealVNC for him.
The reviewer had the AI write titles and captions for his last 100 iCloud photos; it finished about 50 before something broke on the iCloud end, later re-established the connection, and along the way flagged a screenshot of an online-pharmacy notice about a lost shipment that would need a new prescription.
For the better part of a year an AI agent detected AI-related stories for his hcker.news feed and raised about 20 a day for his judgement, before he replaced the workflow with a fine-tuned classifier.
Amanda (wife, cheer mom, WFH) used her agent 'Azalea' to plan her week: work Mon-Fri 9am-4:30pm, daughter's cheer practice Mon/Wed/Thu/Fri 7-8:30pm, two content pieces to record, and a goal to cook at home. Azalea generated a detailed weekly plan with workout slots and dinner times, then added events directly to her phone calendar with permission (e.g., a Sunday 11am-12pm workout).
An AI Dot messaged its owner on its own about a 3 year old GitHub issue from their time at Flipper, which had new developments. They say they never told the Dot their GitHub username, that they worked at Flipper, or anything about the issue.
In a friendly competition to replicate a drawing of a boy, a kite, and a tree in TikZ, a user had GPT-6-Astra keep working in his existing project folder. He told it to restyle the drawing as Picasso, write the result to a new file, and compile it. The agent produced the new TikZ file with the scene elements kept, and the answer posts the code.
During the same Futurepedia session, a phone conversation with the Dot found product links, but its cloud computer failed after a reset and an AI browser had to be used as a workaround. The scheduled-task tab also would not open during the recording.
He directed the AI through shooting and editing a full music video for his DJ set. He said it cost nothing and he would use AI for video work again.
A researcher had a language model transcribe a digitised volume of Sophie Germain's incoming correspondence at the national library, and published the transcription. Working from it, he spotted a mathematical note written on an 1814 letter cover and is asking who wrote it.
He had the AI build a blog site out of his own Mastodon posts, and the blog is live. A Python script fetches the posts, tidies them up and pulls threads together into single posts.
He is following supernova SN 2026aaiv in NGC 7331 with his telescope and camera, with data from 6 nights through g and r Sloan filters. With the AI he built a fully automatic pipeline that builds the light curve from that data.
Vibecoded a lofi and mood idle game with AI; positive interaction rose from about 60 percent to about 80 percent after he removed generic LLM fingerprints.
The AI, proxying commands through him, diagnosed and fixed in about an hour a box that OOMed and needed rebooting every few weeks.
He spent about four months of spare time building Switchback, a cozy hiking simulator like old park management games, with AI writing the code and judging the look of the assets. It ingests real map heights to build its trails, and has its own water, wind and day and night systems. He launched it on iPhone and iPad yesterday and people are playing it.
The AI reverse-engineered his laser cutter's G-code dialect and camera controls in 1 to 2 hours; now it places and cuts jobs with power and speed settings and diagnoses problems from scans.
He set a post up in an AI app and his small tool crier sent it at the set time to Mastodon, Bluesky and Nectvia. Nothing was running on his side when it went out.
Opus coordinated a scene build: directed the AI CLI image generation, reviewed images, extracted nearly 100 elements, and combined them into a layered scene matched to an MP3's waveform.
His agent system makes podcasts for him. He told it to treat alternative sources with the same skepticism it applies to official ones. The shows now push back on everything, and he says he loves the result.
In a hands-on test on a $20-a-month Google AI Pro account, the AI renamed and organised a folder of 507 PDFs into 13 subfolders. The session drew a broad warning that granting folder access could include sharing the folder's contents with third parties, plus a notice that backups of connected files would be deleted after a follow-up or 24 hours.
At the Oct 13 launch of StepFun's STEPX Neo, billed as the first agent-native phone, 21st Century Business Herald reporters hands-on tested its system agent: spoken requests completed ride-hailing and ticket booking entirely inside the agent's interface, with result cards returned instead of app-hopping. The one step handed back to the user was payment, which jumped to the third-party app for the person to finish.
