He merged five scattered file messes into one, then the AI and an LLM wiki in Obsidian reviewed and cataloged everything. He says knowing what is in it and how to get it back matters more than tidy storage.
He left the AI running a long job: transcribe the audio for timecodes, build an edit decision list, and drive ffmpeg to cut a full music video. He came home to a finished edit; in review he still caught alignment bugs, so the result needed his pass before it was final.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
Unite.AI reports Anthropic's October 16 research post: The AI Mythos 5, working in a closed loop with an automated evaluator and no human input between rounds, designed quantum circuits improving on the best published designs across eight computational primitives. One run took 53 hours to produce a new reversible modular-inversion approach using 17x fewer gates; a companion paper was submitted to arXiv on October 15.
A man speaks voice notes into a smart ring during the day, and the AI sorts each note and sends it to the right place: memos and to-dos go to kintone, and answers come back on Slack and are read aloud. Every morning at 6 it sends him a summary of the day before, with the weather, the town garbage day, and what to take with him.
Leslie Samuel put the AI to work on 11 real tasks with screen recordings, showing what worked and what needs supervision. One was generating his own personal AI podcast.
Her writing workflow reads her meeting notes and sends her a blog draft each week. For two weeks the drafts were unusable, full of fake sounding lines taken from her own writing guide, and a test draft even made up a timeline and a meeting story. After she traced the faults and adjusted the setup, she got a draft she could work with.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
He told the AI which folder held his video and its subtitles, and the AI synced the subtitles for him. He says that small fix was the most urgent thing in his day.
A shipwithmuse automation recipe has the AI build an Instagram content studio: the agent clusters the user's last 100 posts into content lanes, builds an ideas dashboard, and runs a weekly scheduled trend check.
