The AI wired into his FPGA boards and troubleshot the chip build to a workaround
The AI interfaced with FPGA boards over USB, set up UART, created an on-chip logic analyzer, and troubleshot a synthesis problem to a workaround.
A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.

Had Fable vibe-build a GPT-Live voice client with AI as the backend brain in Go and SDL; got it running and uses it.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
Talk to my coding agent with my eyes closed
A heavy the AI user whose eyes gave out built shuteye with AI: a one-file bridge that lets his phone listen and speak so he can run coding sessions by voice, read-only by default. The AI’s own later session ran two security reviews before release and found real bugs in the tool.
Run my VPS health check and updates over SSH from the couch
The AI connected to the user's VPS over SSH, ran a health check and applied updates, all directed from the couch.
An AI script measures how much she actually speaks French in her tutoring sessions
She wrote an AI script that transcribes her French tutoring recordings and measures the speaking balance between her and her tutor. Her speaking share has improved over the sessions since she started tracking it.
The AI fixed the capture card driver problem he had been sitting on, and posted the fix
The AI took care of an Epiphan VGA2USB driver problem he had been sitting on, driver posted on GitHub.
Build my game prototype and get it onto my phone — third route worked
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.
The AI pilots his old phone over USB, booting candidate kernels and grading the results
Has the AI piloting his OnePlus 6T over adb, booting new candidate kernels and checking the results.
The AI ported the programs I wrote at 11 so they run on my Psion again
He got a Psion Series 5 and a USB to RS232 adapter working and saw the OPL programs he wrote as an 11 year old run again. He had the AI port some of the OPL code that had changed between the Series 3a and the Series 5.
The AI debugged his hardware by pinging him to move a resistor or cable
A man set up his agent setup so the AI could ping him on Telegram when it needed hands. Working on hardware together, he got a message every 5 to 15 minutes telling him to move a resistor or patch cable in a set way, and following the instructions they got the hardware working the way he wanted.
