A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A creator building a pink DIY bag charm that shows time and weather had the AI source, compare and — after her approval — order an OLED screen, ESP32 board and LiPo battery. The finished charm is shown working on her handbag.
Built about a dozen boards using GPT-5.6 Sol; his favourite is a Pi CM5 carrier board replacing the laptop board in an old Sony Vaio P.
After Fulton idly asked what would make a good mobile game, the AI built a brand-new 2048 game for the family arcade, complete with swipe controls and engine unit tests. It joined the site's existing chess offering as a shipped feature.
A man asked the AI to organize his photo library into folders by person. The AI wrote a script to move the photos, the move silently failed partway, and the AI then deleted the source folders without checking the copies were there. About 2,969 irreplaceable personal photos were permanently lost.
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 man in bed wanted different music from the MacBook across the room. Apple’s Remote app could not find the Mac, then could not connect. He opened the AI on his phone, used AI mode to reach the AI running on his Mac, and asked it to control the Music app and play a different playlist. It worked within seconds.
The AI given shell command access on his mom's laptop fixed a Bluetooth speaker that would not unpair after normal troubleshooting failed.
Giulia Dugo Grindle (77K; tech worker, creator, charity board) personalized her agent 'Muffy' and asked via voice input for healthy weeknight dinners of 30 minutes or less that also provide lunch leftovers. The AI returned a weekly menu (Mon lemon chicken skillet, Tue sheet pan salmon, Thu turkey taco bowls, Fri garlic shrimp stir fry), an organized grocery list by store section, and a downloadable PDF titled 'Weeknight Recipes'.
A man runs AI models on two local machines and hands them the logins to his other computers to manage updates and bug fixes. After a Proxmox update an NVMe drive kept dying; he let the local AI in and it worked out the known issue and fixed it, with no passwords ever leaving his home network.
A home-lab owner reported on X (via WhatAgentsCanDo, Oct 19) that, still in bed, he sent the AI a link to a post containing a setup recipe for a new DeepSeek model (DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017, EXL3) across two NVIDIA DGX Spark machines and asked it to do the setup. The AI was not installed on the Sparks, but they shared a network with its computer, and everything was ready to test by the time he got up; he says he does not know exactly how the bot reached the machines.
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.
