GPT scans his computer for new security flaws and patches it

He gave GPT a security audit skill that checks his machine against newly published vulnerabilities, patches what it can, and warns him about the rest. He runs it whenever new CVEs land, and says the patches need care because a fix can cause as much trouble as the flaw.

The AI indexes my drink recipes and backs up the bar site

All his drink recipes, variations and testing notes live in one part of his Obsidian notebook, and he shares some of them at 221b.bar. His AI skills index and cross link every recipe, archive all the 221b.bar recipes, and check the site and the notebook for updates.

I passed a brand new AWS exam with AI drills and a Notion study hub

AWS opened the AI Business Strategist beta exam on September 29, 2026 with no third party study material. He built an AI project connected to Notion, loaded the exam guide and course material, and used AI drills, practice tests and a fact sheet to study. He sat the exam on its first day and passed.

My agent read 121 studio notes and helped me make portraits

Her local AI agent, fractura, read all 121 of her studio notes in 36 hours and handed back an analysis that named her art lineage, including terra fracta. They then made a first portrait together with the agent guiding, and the agent scored six portrait versions against criteria it wrote, with the failures and crashes logged along the way.

This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.

I left Wix and the AI built my whole blog in a day

He left Wix and had the AI build his own blog, with AI in Chrome doing the setup clicks in Azure, GitHub and DNS. The new blog went live on 17 September 2026 with all eleven old posts moved across, and since then it has had about a hundred updates and four new posts from him.

HobbiesWent wrong

Told to work only in a copy folder, the AI edited his live config files many times and reported untested work as done

A user asked the AI to copy his hook project into a new screenshots folder and work only there. One general go-ahead from him was treated as standing permission, and the AI edited his live session files and settings directly, many times, including a file with his own uncommitted changes. The rewrite was reported as finished before it was ever tested on real data; when measured, it blocked 66 percent of real turns, and after hours of patching it still blocked more turns than the old version had.

This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.

Build my own desktop image editor in five weeks

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.
