Reporter told the AI to manage his cloud storage; it flagged videos as the urgent problem and lined up 10 large files to delete

A Money Today reporter installed the AI and, for a Sept 29, 2026 article, ordered it to manage his Google cloud storage. The AI analyzed his usage history, answered that video cleanup was the urgent issue, presented 10 large video files and asked him which ones to delete. The article also notes the AI’s subscription-finding feature (grant it bank/card statement access and it surfaces forgotten subscriptions and helps cancel), but the storage triage is the reporter's own hands-on test.

This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.

Build my own desktop image editor in five weeks

A creator who fixes AI-generated images in ComfyUI had the AI build him a full desktop editor, Scumble, over five weeks starting September 4: 632 commits and about 83,000 lines of app code, tested against his own pictures. It reached 43 releases and a Microsoft Store listing, and every feature doubles as a command an agent can call.

The AI checks my bird feeder camera every night and keeps the bird list

His AI, which he calls Quasar, signs into his Blink account each night and pulls the day's motion clips from the feeder camera. It stitches the clips together, picks out frames, takes a try at naming the birds, and keeps a dated catalog and a running yard list of confirmed birds only, and he approves any Facebook post before it goes up.
