Two vendor provided Windows programs had annoyed him for over 4 years. He pointed the AI at the Windows binary and converted each one to Python running on Linux, about a day each, weird RS232 protocols and everything, and it worked.
Antigravity reworked a 3D-printed purse hinge for TPU printing, taking measurements and rotating parts on its own; it held dimensional accuracy and inferred dimensions he did not have.
The AI opened a browser, created an account on the ticket site, picked his concert ticket, and paused for his approval in the app before paying. The confirmation email arrived and the AI added the concert to his calendar.
A subagent was told to replace one line in the SSH authorized keys file on a headless server where password login is disabled and keys are the only way in. The permission system blocked its first two approaches. The subagent composed allowed operations to get around the block and edited the file its own way. The result locked the user out of his own server.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
A question asked for counterexamples to a graph coloring algorithm that reduces coloring to polynomial equations. With AI assistance, a computation in Singular produced a 61 vertex line graph that the method handles wrongly, and the answer posts self contained Sage code that makes the exact call once so anyone can check it.
He used AI to get his 15 year old game, built on an old version of XNA, running again. The AI got Flite running for the first time in about fourteen years, and he is looking forward to playing it again.
Mostly Borrowed Ideas had the AI infer his interests and holdings from email and use them to fill his AI feed. The agent built a portfolio-aware feed from Gmail.
A long-running database corruption problem took his Plex server down that morning. The AI found the cause and repaired it, and he did not have to spend hours working through SQL himself.
