A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He could not find an uptime and performance monitor that met his needs, so he built a lightweight one called Blip with help from the AI. He put the code on GitLab and wrote a blog post about it.
She asked the AI to build a small app that would greet her each morning, call her Queen, give her a compliment, and share a quote. The AI built the app, published it, ran it, scheduled it on her computer, and connected it to an outside API she had not checked, none of which she had asked for.
Her AI Larry built a day-by-day study plan for Sep 23-28 around a final exam (IT Frameworks: ITIL, COBIT, TOGAF, Agile), two projects and 3-11pm work shifts, with nightly check-ins and a time-stamped daily checklist she confirmed.
After putting it off for years, he worked with AI over a few sessions to build a homepage for his genealogy research. The page is up with links to eight parts of his work, and three of them already have material on them.
A local Whisper model on his iMac writes out an episode with timecodes. The AI 2.5 reads the transcript, marks the ad blocks, and sends the timecodes back as JSON so his app can build a cut list.
The AI with FreeCAD and MCP designed three useful parts, a printed OLED and ESP32 case, a milled hotend mount and a pen mount, all of which worked on the first hardware revision.
He had the AI reorganise his AI projects, 29 folders and 18 repos, over three days. Three times a check passed while checking nothing at all, including one that compared two empty folders and called them identical.
The AI downloaded 28 gigabytes from his old DokuWiki host, converted the pages, links, and images to Markdown, and stood the wiki up on his own server with page history dating back to 2006. The job ran under light supervision while he was out.
He was tired of tracking upcoming releases and bookings in his Notes app. In two hours, using a third of a month's free credits, he built his watchitwhen app with AI and had the AI make the changes needed to deploy it.
A father bought an old Pentium machine partly for retro games and found a childhood favourite, a 1991 learning game, froze the whole PC every time it loaded on the real hardware. He handed the AI the original game files. In five minutes it had taken the program apart, traced the hang to a sound check that waits forever on modern sound cards, and written a three byte patch into a copy of the file. The patched game worked on the first try, ready for his son.
Every idea is a real post from someone who tried it, summarized in our words, with a link to the original. App names are swapped for plain words.
