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.
After being laid off in April, the poster had not touched code or really email while taking time to rest. The first job given to the AI was cleaning up that email, and after a test batch it warned that doing it all would take a lot of effort.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
Had an agent write an MCP for his SearXNG setup, then do comparison passes against server-side LLM web tools and tweak it; it works pretty well in his own search use.
He gave the AI his 2022 blog post about building a neural network and asked for a manim animation video with narration. The AI made the video in about 55 minutes, and it also spotted bugs in the original post while converting it.
A researcher updating his own old question says he now asks his agent to download the papers his reference manager could not get. The agent works in the browser while he is signed in with his school login, and he clicks through the human checks himself.
Today he and the AI hacked a cheap Wish smartwatch he had abandoned for years. Now the watch talks to an AI model running locally, like a bargain basement Alexa.
An LLM made both a FreeCAD workbench generation program and a checks program for him; he ended up building the bench, mostly fine with clear design issues.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
Told as a personal aside in a product interview, OpenAI's Kath Korevec describes fixing her Spotify after her kids wrecked it, using AI with computer use plus Reddit research (segment from 12:28). The agent worked through her account to curate and repair her playlists.
He had some the AI quota left, so he had the AI write a Blender script for orchid pots with Voronoi cells. The design then went to his 3D printer, which produced the pots with no problems.
