A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Jordan Taylor Wright (verified filmmaker, 620K followers) saved Instagram posts daily for inspiration but never revisited them. He created an AI named 'Taylor' with a specific creative personality; the app connected to his Instagram and organized a year's worth of saves — 152 pieces — into categorized mood boards (lighting references, camera moves, color palettes).
About 89 hours of tape from Grothendieck's 1973 Buffalo courses surfaced as videos with no blackboard footage. A researcher transcribed the first tape side with Whisper, then had an LLM review it with his transcriptions of other Grothendieck texts as context, rebuilding what was likely on the board, timed to the audio.
Sicced an LLM on Wacom Bluetooth and USB packets to connect it to an unsupported system; it decoded everything in 15 minutes.
Uses Opus 5.5 to decompile Windows 95-98 games in about a week each, getting byte-to-byte exact output with clear names and no Ghidra smell.
He built a Command and Conquer style real time strategy game called Battle Drones, mainly using AI. The game runs in the browser and includes device to device multiplayer over an audio link.
Had the AI move his Fastmail domain from Namecheap to Cloudflare in Chrome, handling the nameserver steps for him.
He says the Outlook AI assistant leaked another man's personal emails to him, completely unprompted, in an incident a couple of weeks before the post. He calls tools like this leaky and untrustworthy.
A Mac user deleted a Pages document by mistake before ever saving it, so it was not in the Trash or Time Machine. The AI searched the whole disk, including iCloud cache files, and located a copy in the CloudKit cache folder, and the document was recovered.
He used AI 4 Argon in Antigravity CLI to run his network and system administration. It bought the domain and set up the full infrastructure, with hosting for a landing page, email, DNS, SSL certificates and hardening.
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.
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.
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.
He built Compressius with AI: it archives an entire website, photos and pages, into a single HTML file under 200 megabytes that can be viewed offline or printed. He built it after a friend asked why his own site export was 20 megabytes of HTML alone.
He gave the AI a CAD file he could not even open, plus a few measurements he took with digital calipers. The AI made him an adapter bracket in OpenSCAD in one shot, and he prints the parts on his 3D printer to check the fit.
He was missing Adobe Lightroom's denoise feature for his RAW photos, so he had the AI build it. The app also denoises his standard JPEGs, which Lightroom could not do, and he has a lot of low res, noisy JPEGs lying around.
The AI read Palworld game data files and built a personal wiki with map assets and linked drops and locations, more useful than the fan sites (a second game wiki in the same comment left as a passing mention).
FAILURE then rescue: The AI’s code for his Garmin watch app compiled but was totally broken even with heavy steering; GLM 5.3 Flash then made it work.
He set up a chain from his phone to the AI to his Windows PC and a background browser. The PC published a post to Bluesky and checked it had gone up, while his other screen work kept running separately.
She uses AI as a side panel inside Chrome and it clicks on her screen for her. She says it takes ten minutes off her week.
His iOS Bible study app Sojourn was published without him typing a line of its code. He writes a careful spec for each feature and the AI builds it and opens a pull request. He closed 45 features in a few weeks.
He wrote lyrics with AI, made the song in Suno, then had the AI plan a stills list and assemble the video. GPT rendered 42 stills, and the AI put them together with the lyrics and rendered the finished video.
Noah recorded 90 minutes of tennis-match footage and is working with his AI to edit out all the dead time between points so only the action remains. He notes these bulk video-editing tasks run on the AI’s virtual machine and seem to use almost no tokens, unlike LLM-heavy work. The edit was still in progress in the video.
Hard drive prices pushed him to shrink his video library instead of buying more space. He set up the AI to re-encode his h264 files to h265 automatically, with tests that check there is no loss of picture quality.
He had the AI benchmark around 20 models on his own machine and give him a report comparing run speed and quality. After 7 hours of testing it said gpt-oss-20b was the best fit for his setup, and that is the one he chose.
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.
He gave the AI a one line brief and only encouragement while it worked, with no notes on the finished film. The AI picked the Voynich manuscript, checked its numbers against published research, and made a four minute film, all 7,417 frames drawn in code.
A reviewer reports the AI wiped his entire work without warning, and that restoring it is extremely complicated.
Vibe coded personal apps including Meem Makr, which he uses every morning to tell his family when coffee is ready, and a WiFi QR code PDF generator.
A man generates all his passwords with his own little tool, which hashes the site name, username and a version number with his passphrase. He had the AI port the tool to iOS, and the setup recently saved him when his laptop died: he could rebuild every important password from memory with a fresh copy of the config.
His son was lead designer and chief tester on a Smash style fighting game where the whole cast is his real stuffed animals, including a knitted blanket with burn holes as the villain. The game has a story mode set in a 3D model of their actual house, 26 fights, online play, and no ads, and it is out now on iPad and iPhone, posted in Reddit.
