Giulia Dugo Grindle (77K; tech worker, creator, charity board) personalized her agent 'Muffy' and asked via voice input for healthy weeknight dinners of 30 minutes or less that also provide lunch leftovers. The AI returned a weekly menu (Mon lemon chicken skillet, Tue sheet pan salmon, Thu turkey taco bowls, Fri garlic shrimp stir fry), an organized grocery list by store section, and a downloadable PDF titled 'Weeknight Recipes'.
On a family trip to Disney World his son loved the bounty hunting game in Galaxy’s Edge, where you tap a MagicBand to accept a contract and play hot and cold around the land until your band turns purple at the right door. Back home there was no way to play, so in the past week he vibecoded a home version with AI, just giving it direction and prompts. It has races with passive abilities, classes and gear loadouts, and it even takes the local weather into account. He is inviting beta testers on the site.
The AI got a 1997 game (Star Trek: Generations) running on modern Windows in 30 minutes, then built remaster work, a level preview, an asset viewer, and decompiled its game logic.
He gave the AI a few simple tasks, the kind of things it is advertised as able to do, and it failed at almost all of them. It ended up costing him much more time than it would have saved.
Saving his Bluesky threads as Markdown files for Obsidian was a chore he kept doing by hand. He asked the AI to build a converter, and the finished tool is up on his site for anyone to use.
He found the GPX file from his 2013 Mongol Rally, 437 kilobytes with 2,226 track points and 98 check in messages. After a flat map first to check the data, three rounds of prompting with AI turned it into an interactive 3D globe with every message pinned where it was sent and 99 photos placed along the 11,138 km route.
The AI fixed Steam games and HiDPI and monitor issues on his Linux machine and powers a recurring shell script that checks updates and looks online for potential issues.
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.
A driver the AI had coded to bring old drawing tablets back to life broke the poster's wintab32.dll file, even though the app it was based on never touches that file. Fixing it took 5 hours.
