A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Flkflcflk had the AI act as a creator-business chief of staff for a day: pitched 202 brands, tracked 26 campaigns, monitored two inboxes, and caught an email mistake. The post includes a referral-token pitch.
A game maker gave the AI the 2019 forum thread about his browser shooter and the game's code, and they worked through feedback he had never acted on. The game now restores full health each round, shows a scoreboard on the game over screen, spawns enemies at a safe distance, and fixes an aiming bug. The biggest change is one shared enemy population on a server, so every round anyone plays moves the evolution forward.
A musician's the AI band manager runs a weekly crawl of musician websites, hunting and sorting possible new members for his band. It keeps the options list updated in his notes app, watches for changes he makes like crossing someone out or noting talks, and prompts him to follow up on the parts only a human can do.
Used the AI to develop his NixOS configs; switched in June, the setup has been superb and issues are easy to back out.
He found a problem on his website with the embedded Cal.com widget he uses for people contacting him. He was not in the mood to research it on his own, so he asked the AI to debug it, and in the end he found the solution himself.
The AI plus Jev built a browser extension in about 10 minutes that ranks HN comments for sloppiness, which he uses to view HN.
Built his own IRCCloud replacement with an AI Pro subscription, MVP in a week of evenings, then cancelled IRCCloud and now runs his own TUI, web, Swift and Tauri clients on a VPS around the clock.
He set up an AI that wakes up when a new the AI release lands. It reads the changelog, picks out only the parts he cares about, and sends him a DM when there is something of interest.
The AI autonomously ran Quake demo playbacks, took pixel-diff snapshots, compiled a native build and patched the game for determinism, leaving a solid regression test set.
His poker group has played together since high school. During Covid they played on a website that later shut down, and there was no good replacement for friends who just want a game of Texas hold'em online. He started building his own with AI while playing with the group, and after he was laid off from his database engineering job he spent two weeks going full time on it: front end, logins, authentication and stats. It is live in beta and free while he waits for his bank to approve that it is not a gambling website.
