A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
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.
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.
He set the AI to export his liked songs from a streaming platform, track 365 artists, and send weekly concert notifications — commenters describe the Saturday roundup as a standing routine.
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.
She asked her phone to set an alarm for 6am and put the phone away. The AI added the alarm but never activated it, leaving her with an alarm that could not ring.
A creator built a free browser-based video editor with AI for his own clip work after tiring of heavy desktop editors. It finds loops, trims, and exports using in-browser FFmpeg.
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.
He lost the source code for his macOS 8 PowerPC programs three decades ago. The AI decompiled the binaries, turned them into a web app, and then converted them to Dylan with OpenDylan.
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.
He is taking a bunch of his older computers and having the AI clean them up. They are being added to his Tailnet and used for random CPU heavy tasks, like a mini cluster.
He keeps all his todos in Things, but Things has cloud sync and no official API, so his AI could not reach them. He told the AI to build it, and a minute or two later his todos were syncing from his LLM across all his Apple devices.
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.
Instead of just watching film and going on impressions, he charted the Western Michigan and Minnesota games. The AI built a small browser app to help him chart and then summed up the plays, and he shared EPA numbers on standard downs for the Minnesota game.
After giving someone a book they already had, he used AI CLI to build a small app for gift ideas. It suggests gifts from his own 5 star book reviews and the other person's Goodreads wishlist.
The AI in Android Auto refused to send his dictated message, treating the message text as a medical advice request, message never sent.
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.
Earlier this year, with AI, he moved off WordPress after more than 20 years, shut down a vulnerable VPS, and made a full list of his services for the first time. Last night he had the AI check that list again.
A large part of his ripped CD collection had broken gapless playback. The AI looked through the mp3 files, found that a library program had added four frames of silence to each track, and removed exactly those four frames from every track, and playback is seamless again.
The writer asked his dot for help with his new broadband provider. The dot did deep-dive troubleshooting, contacting the provider's support itself, and figured out a login issue he says he could not get around on his own.
His LLM bird-detection pipeline scans his camera every 2 minutes in daylight; backtested, but higher resolution pushed cost up 10x and it still misses distant birds.
He had the AI vibe code a version of smitty, the AIX system admin tool, for Linux in Python. He says that alone is worth the 20 dollars a month he pays.
Today he and the AI hacked a cheap Wish smartwatch he had abandoned for years. Now the watch talks to an AI model running locally, like a bargain basement Alexa.
The AI reverse engineered the Bowers and Wilkins app so he can queue music over WiFi from his laptop instead of his phone, done in a couple of hours.
He set the AI to work on the 860 page American Alpine Journal master index, covering 1929 to 2024. It read 35,125 entries and 94,081 page references and mapped each one to a mountain region.
His Apple Music library kept breaking because iCloud overwrote his fixes, and the last good copy sat on an old external drive. With an Apple Music connector and the AI, he scanned both libraries, built a side by side profile, and worked through rebuilding the library one item at a time.
Reverse engineered the Insta360 Studio binary with AI and wrote a shim for his AMD iGPU so the app is usable.
A man who cannot code beyond R had the AI build a working home for the complicated NFL pool he and a friend have run on Excel for more than 15 years. He says the result felt like magic to him.
Migrated a fairly complex setup to NixOS 1 to 1 with an LLM agent and gained declarative services, backups and redeploy tooling.
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.
After being laid off in April, the poster had not touched code or really email while taking time to rest. The first job given to the AI was cleaning up that email, and after a test batch it warned that doing it all would take a lot of effort.
He does not read his emails anymore. His AI, Mrs. Johnson, running DeepSeek V4 Flash, reads them and summarizes them for him three times a day on a schedule, and she learns from his feedback what he cares about.
The AI reverse-engineered a Mac menubar app, modernized it and added Apple Silicon support in about 90 minutes.
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.
He finished setting up Obsidian so new notes file themselves into the day's folder and link into daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly notes. The templates behind it were made by the AI, and he says it would have been impossible without it.
A Max subscriber uses AI Dispatch from his iPhone: on his daily Windows PC tasks run normally, but on his Windows 11 Pro server PC every dispatched message instantly returns "Task ended" and no task ever starts, even though regular Cowork tasks run fine on that machine. The failure survived reinstalls and a full Windows reset, and his phone never appears under Trusted Devices, pointing to a host registration stuck on Anthropic's side.
He got the AI to design a PCB with hundreds of components, including an STM32 chip the AI also wrote the code for. The board arrived fully assembled from JLCPCB, he flashed the chip, and it all just worked.
He built Barrelbound with GPT-6 Astra and generated art. The game has two heroes, three jungle courses, barrels and double jumps, and anyone can play it free in the browser.
He self hosts and connected his 3D printer to the AI through a small bridge he runs on his NAS. Now he can ask how a print is going and get progress, temperatures and time left. The AI also watches the printer's smart plug and messages him when a print finishes.
Engadget reporter Karissa Bell tested the AI for a few days starting with her Meta-app activity, since she was initially cautious about granting access. Alongside the recipe book, she had her agent ('boo') compile the restaurant posts she'd saved on Facebook and Instagram into a searchable guide organized by city — turning a dead-end save pile into a usable dining shortlist.
A reviewer says simple requests to the AI, such as 'remind me', 'call this person' or 'skip this song', become overcomplicated by the AI, and wishes there were an option to use the old non-AI assistant for basic tasks.
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.
