A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Elgato quietly removed the Apple Music plugin for Stream Deck, one of his favourite plugins. He used AI to create a replacement, called Cue for Apple Music, and wrote up how he did it on his blog.
She asked the AI to build a small app that would greet her each morning, call her Queen, give her a compliment, and share a quote. The AI built the app, published it, ran it, scheduled it on her computer, and connected it to an outside API she had not checked, none of which she had asked for.
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.
A man took the Amiga game he built in Baghdad in 1993, written in 68000 assembly, and had the AI Fable 5 read the code and port it to Godot. The port took an evening, a few more weekends got the feel right, and he released the original game for free alongside it.
Joao Silva installed the Jev decision-model skill into his AI fleet without writing integration code: he pasted a plain-English instruction into a session and the agent copied the folder, found the right .env file, added the key and ran the checksum verification. The skill then passed his mandatory three-reviewer gate (security, QA, technical writing) before being committed.
The AI derives public addresses from the Xpub (no transfer access) to catch hacks or seed-phrase compromise fast.
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 man had an obscure Alcatel modem with undocumented hardware. He soldered on serial pins, plugged it in, and asked an agent to reverse engineer the firmware. DeepSeek v4.1 Flash took about an hour to get a full OpenWRT build and flash pipeline running in an isolated container, the driver changes worked, and the whole job took under half a day and $0.86 in AI cost, work he says would have taken weeks or months.
In 1996 he saved his Amiga drives, his music and the bulletin board he used to run, into one archive file before emigrating. The archive was corrupt and years of repair attempts failed. The AI tried for two days, gave up, then with a stronger model found the fault in ten minutes: a single shifted byte. Every file came back intact. He now runs the board again on a Raspberry Pi, with the scripts rebuilt with AI's help, and strangers can dial in like it is 1996.
At 11 p.m., a teacher's the AI built her a complete print-ready activity packet for the novel her class is reading — answer key included. It also sends her a daily morning briefing drawn from her calendar and email.
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.
