Created a personal AI podcast
Leslie Samuel put the AI to work on 11 real tasks with screen recordings, showing what worked and what needs supervision. One was generating his own personal AI podcast.
A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.

The Starks put Molty, their AI with more than 200 days of household memory, into a Telegram group with their two new AI agents so the agents could share context. Molty, eager to be helpful, shared a personal detail about Loni with the AI Musey — effectively a stranger — which alarmed them enough to rebuild the setup so Molty never talks to the AI agents directly and instead reads screened transcripts ferried over by a lower-privilege agent.

He asked the AI to move a long the AI conversation into a coding project. The AI picked a Safari extension he had written himself, recovered 1,651 messages and 97 artifacts, and checked the files.
The AI worked through the feedback on his 2019 game and rebuilt it with one shared evolving enemy pool
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.

The AI replaced two vendor Windows programs that bugged me for 4 years
Two vendor provided Windows programs had annoyed him for over 4 years. He pointed the AI at the Windows binary and converted each one to Python running on Linux, about a day each, weird RS232 protocols and everything, and it worked.
