He gave the AI his WordPress export and told it to rebuild the blog in Astro. The new self hosted site is live with a modern style, a dark theme and better accessibility, and it ends the $110 a year WordPress charged him.
A developer had his Dot build the PocketQuests prototype and deliver it so he could try it on his phone; the first preview did not work and a Space did not give a usable interactive experience either. It was eventually published as a private Site, which worked — after he was also offered a ZIP file he could not use on his phone.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
Andrew plays casual online chess against a friend he is dead even with, and was about to buy a Chess.com membership for unlimited game reviews. Instead he gave the AI his Chess.com account; it automatically pulls and reviews his game log every day, and the premium upsell lost its reason to exist.
He used AI to draft a first email inquiry to a contractor. The AI pointed out that the contractor's DC license expired in 2025, a check he says he would not have thought to make.
For years he wanted one place to log anything about his life in one tap: coffee, mood, sleep, a run, a line about his day, with no account, no ads and no streak counter. Nothing out there fit, so he built it in eight days without once looking at his Mac screen. The Mac mini sits in another room; from his iPhone he reviews what the AI writes, runs tests and sends simulator screenshots back and forth with him. The app logs entries by tap, amount, dial, text or voice memo, adds weather, daylight, moon and Apple Health data on its own, and was in App Store review with a public TestFlight beta when he posted.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
An old printer orphaned by macOS 27 got a second life: The AI wrote the driver while using its owner as the diagnostic instrument - asking him to judge whether each line was progressively less visible, whether page one's DPI was lower - until the printer printed correctly again.
Made Astra reverse-engineer Onshape's UI to build a middle-man extension exposing an API that bypasses the official API pricing, now used for AI CAD with AI and the AI.
He caught the new supernova SN 2026aaiv in NGC 7331 from his backyard with a Seestar S50, taking 371 ten-second shots. With a lot of help from the AI he measured its brightness for the first time, getting V = 12.5 plus or minus 0.2.
