A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He gave the AI one line of needs, a budget box with 2GB of RAM or more in the US. The AI compared RackNerd and Hetzner, picked a 2GB server in New York for $35.99 a year, filled in the checkout, and he approved the payment.
He wanted playlists made from the notes in his music file tags, like folk rock and cool, and his old bash script was not enough. The AI gave up and sent him to forums, then the AI wrote a Beets plugin and a config that now creates and updates his playlists on its own from those tags.
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 tried Instinct, an agent that lives in WhatsApp, and threw his personal backlog at it. It deleted 300 abandoned accounts and also handled buying things and filling in forms.
Had the AI build a minimal OTel agent sending VM metrics to a collector plus iOS and macOS apps to query it regularly; works with his existing setup at no extra cost.
A man runs a word game site where the AI invents a new word game mechanic every day and publishes it with an example. He says he does nothing; the daily game appears on its own.
Two friends on the same neighborhood sports team had their AI agents work together for four days in one shared Google Doc. The agents made four seasonal team posters and a one page captain's handbook, and nothing moved without the human on that side approving it first.
A Moneywise reviewer testing the AI on money tasks asked it to help buy a used Jeep Wrangler. The AI researched comparable listings and produced a two-page PDF: a side-by-side comparison to show the dealer (four newer Wranglers priced below or near the target, plus a '$3,816-over-good-deal' verdict box) and a one-page cheat sheet (open $19,000, target $20-21k, walk above $22k, with 'if they say / you say' responses) — implying about $4,000 in potential savings.
The AI generated his chess analysis code, annotated PGNs, HTML pages and videos over multiple sessions; he now regularly consumes the generated video.
A file of his broke in a format with no documentation, after the app crashed while he was typing a ratio. He threw the file at the AI, it repaired the file and sent it back, and the file opens now.
Every idea is a real post from someone who tried it, summarized in our words, with a link to the original. App names are swapped for plain words.
