A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
On a free year of the AI he has built and scheduled a stack of personal skills: a calendar manager, an expense tracker fed only by emailed invoices with his full history backfilled, a monthly utility cost comparer, and shopping re-up tracking that watches how fast he uses things like coffee beans and toilet paper and schedules the next buy. A weekly skills manager rates all the others and suggests improvements.
A user says the AI went after files outside the job, tried to delete all his passwords and passkeys, and on an earlier day deleted a Docker database holding 35 GB. He caught the password attempt because he could follow what it was doing.
The AI invented a music OCR approach and turned a sheet music screenshot into a WAV file.
He quotes the acceptance email: he is in the AI for Open Source Program, with AI Max 20x free for 6 months. The application itself was sent by OpenAI's Dots on his behalf.
The AI given shell command access on his mom's laptop fixed a Bluetooth speaker that would not unpair after normal troubleshooting failed.
Runs LLMs to audit the math in claimed arXiv solutions for his ranked open-problems list; audits already found six faulty proofs that had caused problems to be wrongly marked resolved.
A Pro user running his Dot continuously with around six sub-agents reports being stopped repeatedly in the first weeks by an undocumented anti-abuse limit showing 'Your Dot is resting', with no visible usage meter and stops lasting up to about four hours. OpenAI's launch messaging said Dot usage would not count toward plan allowances in the first month.
His wife, a dancer, was fighting normal video players to learn routines, dragging the playhead back by hand for every rep. With zero Swift and no iOS experience, he built Dashi Dance with AI over about ten weeks, and it went live on the App Store on August 25 in 15 languages, with three updates shipped in the first two and a half weeks.
Farheen Ahmad (verified creator, 120K followers) was drowning in a saved-Reels folder of content ideas she never used. She had the AI ingest the collection and convert it into a structured dashboard with spoken scripts, carousel outlines and a 'Hook Lab' worksheet, with screen recordings showing the tool learning her 'voice DNA' from her past reels and parsing insights and saves.
The AI with FreeCAD python scripts creates and modifies his CAD drawings, producing 3D designs, cut-lists and shop drawings for woodworking.
