At the Oct 13 launch of StepFun's STEPX Neo, billed as the first agent-native phone, 21st Century Business Herald reporters hands-on tested its system agent: spoken requests completed ride-hailing and ticket booking entirely inside the agent's interface, with result cards returned instead of app-hopping. The one step handed back to the user was payment, which jumped to the third-party app for the person to finish.
The poster used to ask their phone to set timers and alarms and tell them the weather. Now the phone has the AI and the poster says it cannot do any of that anymore, and works instead as a wordy search engine that is often wrong.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
He built a virtual tabletop with AI, with proper dice, roll tables and boards, and he has been play-testing it a lot. He uses it when travelling and when his real table is buried, and he no longer needs Tabletop Simulator.
He has the AI run the upkeep on his main machine and his virtual servers: patches, cleanup, backups, and firewall checks. He reviewed about nine hours of its work sessions and says it may be the best systems administrator he has ever had.
A maker had the AI design a circuit that shows a picture stored in a memory chip on a standard VGA screen, using common logic chips, and write the chip code for it. He routed the board himself, had it made for $6, fixed the one missed error with a wire, and the board works.
For a year he plugged in a USB WiFi dongle because his built in WiFi was not working and he could not fix it himself. The AI fixed the built in WiFi in 10 minutes.
A screen-recorded walkthrough of an app called 'Song List' inside an AI app AI shows managing a personal music repertoire: 264 total songs, 76 marked 'In show,' 188 'Needs work,' across 76 artists. The presenter navigates 'In show' and 'All' views and uses the search bar.
He used AI to get his 15 year old game, built on an old version of XNA, running again. The AI got Flite running for the first time in about fourteen years, and he is looking forward to playing it again.
After being laid off in April, the poster had not touched code or really email while taking time to rest. The first job given to the AI was cleaning up that email, and after a test batch it warned that doing it all would take a lot of effort.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
