My smart ring sends voice notes to the AI, and the AI sorts my day
A man speaks voice notes into a smart ring during the day, and the AI sorts each note and sends it to the right place: memos and to-dos go to kintone, and answers come back on Slack and are read aloud.

My agent builds me a daily podcast feed with the ads cut out
A listener had the AI build him a personal podcast feed he follows in his podcast app. Each day it looks for one episode he would actually enjoy, based on his taste and recent talks, and skips the day if nothing is good enough. It downloads the pick, writes out the words locally, finds the sponsor blocks and cuts them out, checks the joins, and adds the episode to his private feed with a note on why it was picked.
