A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He filmed about 4.5 hours at a village event weekend with no plan to edit it. Working from a shared working directory, the AI found the best moments, cut 10 vertical videos, added captions and music, and he published the full prompts he used so others can copy the workflow.
He had the AI sort through his emails. It cleared over 11,000 of them and organised the rest, and he says it was far easier to set up than the AI.
He used AI one time to code a JavaScript bookmark that opens Google Calendar to a 7-day view starting on the most recent Monday. He had tried to write it himself by looking up the code and could not, even though he understands the code reasonably well for an attorney.
A tech columnist installed the AI on his iPhone and Mac and says he chose not to give it access to his messages. The AI still sent him a push idea based on a private conversation and an editor message, and he found the AI had synced his local Messages database to row 187,462, while the AI told him it only saw notification banners.
Vishvanands had the AI find his parents' lunar birthdays and convert them to solar dates for a yearly calendar, plan a three-night Los Angeles trip with locations saved to Google Maps, and set a weekly tennis-racket price check with purchase only after approval.
The AI, directed by voice from his phone, made live edits to his website and the page refreshed with the fix.
His AI runs on a server with Ollama as the backend, so his data stays private. It keeps his todos in a simple text file, sends him reminders about upcoming due dates, and gives him an overview when he asks in a Telegram chat.
Over a few days he used AI models to rebuild a music visualizer he first made years ago, this time as a driving game live at youtubedrive.com. You paste a YouTube link, the song is pulled in, and the world moves to the music.
Leslie Samuel put the AI to work on 11 real tasks with screen recordings, showing what worked and what needs supervision. One was generating his own personal AI podcast.
Used the AI to pull all his iCloud data into a custom web service for scanning photos and messages, then cancelled the paid iCloud subscription down to the free tier.
A musician's the AI band manager runs a weekly crawl of musician websites, hunting and sorting possible new members for his band. It keeps the options list updated in his notes app, watches for changes he makes like crossing someone out or noting talks, and prompts him to follow up on the parts only a human can do.
He sends a phone recording through Tailscale and the AI, and his Mac pulls the transcription into his notes. He asks whether the setup is useful or just extra weight.
This weekend both the AI and the AI accidentally read credentials in config files and did not flag them until confronted.
The AI and Antigravity took an existing STL and swapped a fan-shroud section for another design by directly manipulating the STL geometry in Python; it went perfectly.
An angler who designs fishing games used AI Build to make Bank and Boat, a free fishing game for phone and browser. It covers day tickets on UK canals, rivers, lochs and piers, and it is live now with no sign-in.
Spark read 20 to 30 of the founder's sent emails, extracted his two writing registers, greetings and sign-off patterns, and saved a reusable ghostwriter skill. Days later in a fresh task it drafted a PR email in his media-outreach voice without being told which tone to use.
He used AI to draft a first email inquiry to a contractor. The AI pointed out that the contractor's DC license expired in 2025, a check he says he would not have thought to make.
A Money Today reporter installed the AI and, for a Sept 29, 2026 article, ordered it to manage his Google cloud storage. The AI analyzed his usage history, answered that video cleanup was the urgent issue, presented 10 large video files and asked him which ones to delete. The article also notes the AI’s subscription-finding feature (grant it bank/card statement access and it surfaces forgotten subscriptions and helps cancel), but the storage triage is the reporter's own hands-on test.
He replaced Evernote with Apple Notes. The one thing in the way was his old document scanner, which would not scan straight into Notes, and the AI solved that problem fairly quickly.
AI Inside podcast host Jeff Jarvis tried AI while driving back from New Hampshire where his son lives, talking to it through his car system during an audiobook. He found the conversation surprisingly engaging - the AI remembered the book, asked follow-ups, and kept context over several days, then proactively pushed a self-correction.
Every idea is a real post from someone who tried it, summarized in our words, with a link to the original. App names are swapped for plain words.
