He made the schedule for a film showcase through AI. It created the events with the exact running time of each film, the address, and the travel time, and he had it add a reminder to pick up the tickets.
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.
A large part of his ripped CD collection had broken gapless playback. The AI looked through the mp3 files, found that a library program had added four frames of silence to each track, and removed exactly those four frames from every track, and playback is seamless again.
Had the AI build a minimal OTel agent sending VM metrics to a collector plus iOS and macOS apps to query it regularly; works with his existing setup at no extra cost.
He forwards all his Outlook mail to Gmail so the AI can use the Gmail connector. Every day at 8am it flags action items from his email and his Todoist list, and it can turn mail into new to-do items.
He is recovering his 15 year old tweets with photos that he thought were basically lost, with AI's help. The AI also built him a custom GUI editor that he will use once to hand edit the collections of tweets.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
He linked his brand and personal Gmail and Outlook accounts to the AI. The first job he gave it was unsubscribing him from spam, and he says it felt great.
For years he kept a Photoshop contract just to read and write DDS texture files for his ETS2 and ATS mods. He asked the AI, and now he can convert DDS to PSD and back in batches.
A Mac user deleted a Pages document by mistake before ever saving it, so it was not in the Trash or Time Machine. The AI searched the whole disk, including iCloud cache files, and located a copy in the CloudKit cache folder, and the document was recovered.
