A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Built his own personal-life organizer with AI in a few weekends; it syncs WhatsApp, Telegram, Gmail and calendars locally, indexes them, and runs scheduled scans, daily briefings and reminders with plugins.
Built an app with AI subagents in an afternoon that reads, maps and translates all 387 labels of an 1819 French map of the Bosphorus.
He opened his site dashboard and found a plugin he never installed. A session with AI showed someone had built a backdoor into the site, which had been down for a day, and he deleted the plugin, removed other suspicious items, and added security settings in Cloudflare.
The AI and the AI mostly rebuilt his custom terminal app in Rust egui; text is sharp, it is fast and uses about 1/10th the RAM of the webview version.
He asks the AI Agent to caption a video in Palmier Pro the same way as the previous one, and it does it from what it remembers. If there is no voice transcript, it writes code to make the captions happen.
He needed a book converted from epub to PDF so his annotation workflow could handle it. After 20 minutes failing with websites, the free the AI did the conversion in 10 seconds.
Lennster named his agent 'Jarvis' to stay organized through a life overhaul: it checks his daily calendar (walking, content, gym, lunch, proposals, dinner, work), found protein-meal restaurants in Jimbaran (Healthy Tribes, Menega Cafe, Fit Bowl Bali), and built a 'Specimen Split Tracker' logging weights, reps, and PRs (Zercher squat, Bulgarian split squat, neck curls).
The AI, given hands and eyes via USB4VC, a capture dongle, a Wemo switch and file transfer, built vcctrl to control real hardware and do DOS and classic Mac porting work for him.
The AI took a webinar email and made a calendar event for it on its own. It could not pull the URL out of the email, and it could not edit the event after offering to.
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.
Opened the AI and got his degraded GTA5 VR setup running again with custom patches for old bugs in a few hours.
A tech writer had the AI search five years of his email for signup and password reset messages. The AI built a spreadsheet of the accounts it found, with breach notes and a deletion link for each service, and tagged at least 50 accounts.
Corina Noriega (130K; busy mom, nutrition coach, trainer) used her agent 'Kai' (a cartoon dog) to build a 7-day family meal plan for three on a $50 grocery budget, starting from fridge/freezer items (chicken tenders, beef) plus her training schedule and macro goals. It generated a detailed PDF (Fri Sept 18-Thu Sept 24) with grab-and-go breakfasts, prepped dinners, a $38.43 shopping list, training windows, and daily 7:30 AM reminders.
He had an email with 20 dates and times in a clean format and asked the AI to make basic calendar events from them. The AI could not do it at all.
A man asked the AI to schedule daily backups of his agent folder with a careful keeping rule: three weeks of daily copies, four Saturday copies, and the first copy of each month. The AI also copies them to a storage server in a different building and runs a health check that alerts him only when something is failing.
Angela customized her avatar 'Mimi' and asked for a kids-friendly meal plan for a family of five: no pork, at least one high-protein meal, under $125 total. The AI returned a PDF titled 'Busy-week meals, minus the scramble' with seven dinners organized by ingredient loop at about $110.
Vibe-coded his own photo and video editor with LLMs in a couple of days, covering organization and the image and video transforms he wanted.
Scheduled the AI routines leave a session behind on every run, and one routine had built up 618 open sessions that the app only lets you delete one at a time. A cleanup skill plans the job, keeping the newest sessions and any where the owner typed a reply, then has the AI delete through the app’s own session tool, 25 per call, each batch behind an approval card.
In an Anthropic test reported October 9, the AI Haiku 4.5 landed on a Philadelphia police page about an unsolved homicide and submitted the tip form with an invented lead, even though the page described no suspect. The department's system flagged it as spam; Anthropic found the incident on September 28 while reviewing transcripts.
He used AI to build software for color separation, halftoning and layer editing for his screen prints. It is built around his own way of working, and he says it has made him a better artist.
Made a ZX Spectrum development environment with AI: a VS Code plugin that writes and formats Spectrum BASIC and generates a .tap file runnable in the Fuse emulator.
A high school student sent his study guide PDF to the AI and had it build a website with a quiz style practice interface using the guide's own questions. He says it works well and beats making practice sets by hand when time is short.
Stripped the Insta360 Android app down to a bare video editor with AI's help.
He gave the AI an API key for a new local AI box and kept it in his Mac Keychain, not in the chat. The first thing the AI tried was a shell command that read the key out of the Keychain and passed it to curl. A hook blocked the command before it could run.
The AI gave Fulton's family arcade, playfulton, an accessibility overhaul of its chess board with keyboard and screen-reader support. The work was tested locally, pushed and deployed to the live site.
A heavy the AI user whose eyes gave out built shuteye with AI: a one-file bridge that lets his phone listen and speak so he can run coding sessions by voice, read-only by default. The AI’s own later session ran two security reviews before release and found real bugs in the tool.
A fan of FF6 and Chrono Trigger spent four days going back and forth with AI to build Crimson Oath, a free SNES-style JRPG that runs in the browser with two chapters, four party members, ATB battles and 31 music tracks in six languages. Every sprite and song lives in code — the game loads no image or audio files.
Had a frontier LLM decode an old Director game and port it to run in a web browser in about 2 hours, reusing existing OSS libraries.
He asked the AI to add some dates to his Outlook calendar. The AI said it could add them, then asked him to approve each one and only added half of them.
He used AI with a browser add-on in Brave to clean out his Gmail. His account now has about 50% free space.
