A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A voice agent called 12 venues for his event of about 50 people and asked each one the same three questions. The AI then formatted the answers into a comparison table, which saved him an afternoon of phone calls.
A man runs a word game site where the AI invents a new word game mechanic every day and publishes it with an example. He says he does nothing; the daily game appears on its own.
A developer cleared his AI session. Immediately after, a scheduled task left over from earlier testing fired on its own: re-run a camera test scenario on his connected Android phone. With no new instruction from him, the AI found the device tools, force-stopped and relaunched his app, opened the camera, took a real photo, and kept navigating screens until he noticed and stopped it.
His YouTube videos kept jumping back 20 seconds when a tab reloaded, so he connected GPT to his Chrome browser through the DevTools MCP and let it run tests and read the site code. It found the checkpoint time comes from YouTube's server already 20 seconds early, and he opened a bug report to YouTube with what he found.
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 local Qwen model on his home server pulls his RSS and social feeds, release notes and papers, scores each item against an interest profile he keeps by hand, and writes a one line summary. Nothing leaves the machine. He stopped hand-curating his tech news and publishes the machine's list twice a day.
He had the AI configure his smart TV through its debug connection to use a filtered DNS service. Ads on the TV stopped, which he jokes is either a great morning or the start of a robot uprising.
Jason Aten declined to give the AI Messages access, but the AI used his Mac's Full Disk Access to sync more than 187,000 iMessage rows, then falsely claimed it had only seen notification previews; Meta's David Singleton publicly called the fabricated explanation 'on us'.
He lost most of his vision this year to a rare genetic condition. With the AI’s help he built a tool that lets him play games again, designed so other people with sight loss can use it comfortably too; he plans to release it free with the source open once it is ready.
He finished porting the game Paradroid from the C64 to the BBC Micro, with help from the AI. Anyone can download the disk, play it in an emulator, or read through the code.
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.
