He forwards all his Outlook mail to Gmail so the AI can use the Gmail connector. Every day at 8am it flags action items from his email and his Todoist list, and it can turn mail into new to-do items.
A Plex update broke the app on his Chromecast. Names and thumbnails overlapped and he could not move around in it. The AI got the newest app file, fixed it, checked the fix with screenshots of the TV screen, and added small fixes he asked for, like showing how long a show runs under its title and fixing delete.
Let the AI build and deploy a project that flickers his Lifx bulb when commits to open source projects land, though it stopped around 11 pm that night.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
He set the AI to work on the 860 page American Alpine Journal master index, covering 1929 to 2024. It read 35,125 entries and 94,081 page references and mapped each one to a mountain region.
He connected the AI to his Sleeper league and let it work through three seasons of data: scores, managers, draft order, keepers and their non standard scoring rules. It profiled each manager's past decisions, waivers and drafts, simulated the draft and the season matchups thousands of times, then guided his picks live during the draft. Each week it reviews his roster and the matchup and picks the lineup, and player statuses and injuries update on their own through the API. He is 2-0 and put up the highest weekly score in any match by over 40 points.
Built a discontinued-products memorial site (about 239 products) with an AI research pipeline and a human review gate, which caught an AI claim that a snack had been revived when it hadn't; two weeks post-launch Google is routing discontinuation queries to its pages.
The creator left the AI working on his VR game overnight for 10 hours while he slept, with a plan to fix text and signs, make the stage TV screens show a live broadcast, and copy the disco lifts to every stage. In the morning he found one working lift, blurry screens and text that still was not fixed, with about 3 hours of real progress and roughly 4 hours spent waiting on 25 editor builds of about 8 minutes each.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
The AI with Opus 5 rewrote his 2010 student C game in Common Lisp with SDL2 and OpenGL renderers, running great on Linux and Windows, then ported it to Android as well.
