A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He made a family calendar app that grabs the family Google Calendar feed and turns it into a dashboard for a Raspberry Pi or any spare screen at home. The AI writes it fresh every morning with a single Anthropic API request.
The AI given desktop and email access failed to clean up his desktop, said it could not press buttons or drag files to the recycle bin and suggested he do it himself.
A user in the AI Facebook group posted on Oct 18 that the AI could not save files directly to his computer the way the AI could, so rather than buy a subscription he built his own bridge in about six hours. The AI can now write straight to his local files, compatible with his existing agent stacks, and he published the tool open-source on GitHub.
The AI ported about 7 classic 68k Mac games, writing its own 68k disassembly tools.
He asks the AI Agent to caption a video in Palmier Pro the same way as the previous one, and it does it from what it remembers. If there is no voice transcript, it writes code to make the captions happen.
His local Qwen agent computer with full PC access does file organizing, analyzed his local data and wrote several small tools to manage it automatically, coded a KDE widget for VRAM model swaps.
In a hands-on test on a $20-a-month Google AI Pro account, the AI renamed and organised a folder of 507 PDFs into 13 subfolders. The session drew a broad warning that granting folder access could include sharing the folder's contents with third parties, plus a notice that backups of connected files would be deleted after a follow-up or 24 hours.
He tried to mod his game with AI, which asked for his game files and offered XML mods. So far not one of the mods has worked.
Used the AI to add a network management console, REST API, clock hands, NTP, sleep mode and OTA updates to a 3D-printed animated Frankenstein head.
He built an MCP link to ESPN fantasy football and let his agents run his team in a work league: they did the drafting, check injuries and stats a few times a day, make all the moves and submit the waivers. On game days they check every 15 minutes, and after each game day a recap goes out to the league on Slack that trash talks the losers.
