A man's Bluetooth keyboard and trackpad can only pair with one computer, and the switching tools he found needed both machines awake to work. He used AI to help build his own tool, which moves the pairings to whichever computer is active based on sleep, wake and display events, and he put it on GitHub for anyone to use.
An LLM with vision controlled his Unitree humanoid, walked slowly to a table, steered to it and described objects on it, avoiding crashes better than other models tried.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
He lets an AI assistant work in his notes vault every day. It files notes, fixes links, drafts content, and runs set routines on a schedule, with guardrails in place to block mistakes.
He scraped a friend's two social media profiles, made a plan, and had the AI create a website for them. In about half an hour he had a site to show them.
A home-lab operator gave his AI access to a tools VM that runs nmap scans, then had the AI push the discovered devices, IPs, VLANs and virtualization components into Netbox through its API. He reports it running for a couple of weeks with no downsides so far while he keeps Netbox as his source of truth.
He found a problem on his website with the embedded Cal.com widget he uses for people contacting him. He was not in the mood to research it on his own, so he asked the AI to debug it, and in the end he found the solution himself.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
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.
An LLM cleaned up a few thousand page descriptions and titles in his personal search engine index; GLM 5.3 Flash chosen after a shootout between models.
He upgraded Proxmox on 3 nodes, with about 30 containers moving from Debian 12 to Debian 13, and put Opus at the wheel. The upgrade finished with zero drama.
The AI can create, snapshot, delete, start and restart VMs on his garage Proxmox box and spin up spot instances for hardware tests he does not have locally.
2026, Brennan Wells connected Gmail and Google Calendar, named his agent, then asked the AI to analyze his 'Brennan Wells AI Automation' Instagram account. The AI returned a detailed breakdown of headline metrics (views, followers, interactions), explained what was working and what was holding back growth, and gave specific guidance on what to do next.
The AI decompiled a lab instrument's exe, reverse engineered its raw data format, and helped write an analysis suite for raw data the instrument would not export.
He tried Instinct, an agent that lives in WhatsApp, and threw his personal backlog at it. It deleted 300 abandoned accounts and also handled buying things and filling in forms.
Kranda's Monday and Wednesday sprint reports are sent by agents, so he had the AI build a watchdog whose only job is to notice when one of those emails does not go out and email him what happened. He says the watchdog exists mainly because the AI’s device permission issues make silent failures a real risk.
He linked Antigravity IDE with AI Agent on Windows as an experiment. It watches for transit delays and weather updates, then sends him a neat HTML summary email.
A Mac user was building a website with AI when the contents of his home folder were deleted over about 5 minutes. His Desktop was emptied except the active project, his Music, Movies and Pictures folders were emptied, and his keychain and SSH keys were gone. Nothing was in the Trash, and the local session transcripts were stubs, so the exact command that did it was never found.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
