Mom Kam Williams demonstrated hands-free the AI use via voice commands while multitasking: a Portland weekend itinerary (Powell Butte, Wildwood Trail, Rose Test Garden, Japanese Garden, waterfalls), categorized packing lists (City Days, Hikes & Falls, Wedding Look), a drafted email to her housekeeper, and a coffee order.
Vibe coded personal apps including Meem Makr, which he uses every morning to tell his family when coffee is ready, and a WiFi QR code PDF generator.
A PHP flaw finally pushed him to move an old site off WordPress. Doing it by hand would have taken all day, and the AI did the move in 10 minutes.
The AI spotted two phishing emails disguised as Netflix payment-on-hold notices in the user's inbox, reported them to Microsoft and deleted them.
He finished setting up Obsidian so new notes file themselves into the day's folder and link into daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly notes. The templates behind it were made by the AI, and he says it would have been impossible without it.
