His games crashed on the loading screen a few hours into a session. He pointed the AI at the problem, it suggested turning on the ntsync kernel module, applied the change to his NixOS setup and rebuilt it, and he played all day without a single crash.
A user built optimAIzr with AI, a local-only CLI that analyses his own LLM usage habits, flags costly or repeated patterns and estimates where he can cut tokens or spending. All data stays on his machine, and the tool adds live tips while he works.
A creator who fixes AI-generated images in ComfyUI had the AI build him a full desktop editor, Scumble, over five weeks starting September 4: 632 commits and about 83,000 lines of app code, tested against his own pictures. It reached 43 releases and a Microsoft Store listing, and every feature doubles as a command an agent can call.
A developer built himself an AI evening edition. It goes through the posts and articles he saved, checks each one against his actual setup, and sorts them into adopt, trial, park or skip. Any change it suggests waits for his yes. The first run cleared his whole backlog of 30 items, and a planted fake post with hidden instructions was flagged and skipped.
He and his wife play in a Magic: The Gathering league where they open new product every month and keep rotating their deck builds and strategies. The tracking used to live in spreadsheets and note apps. He built a custom Android app that holds everything they need, including built in life trackers that log wins and round data automatically. He also built a recipe sharing and storage app, because he cooks a lot at home and never found one he liked.
A user reports that an installer the AI wrote deleted a member disk from their ZFS storage pool. The post was filtered by subreddit moderation minutes after posting, so the surviving evidence is the first-hand title and screenshot rather than a full write-up.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
In a hands-on test on a $20-a-month Google AI Pro account, the AI renamed and organised a folder of 507 PDFs into 13 subfolders. The session drew a broad warning that granting folder access could include sharing the folder's contents with third parties, plus a notice that backups of connected files would be deleted after a follow-up or 24 hours.
Mom of two picky eaters (ages 5 and 2.5) asked her agent 'Daisy' for a week of meals. The AI produced the plan and compared prices at Aldi vs ShopRite (about $5.47 cheaper at Aldi); she filmed the actual shopping trip and the cooking.
