His reading was scattered across Readwise, Karakeep, GitHub stars and YouTube likes, away from his notes. He built a small daemon that routes the missing sources into Readwise, and a scheduled the AI skill files everything into his Obsidian vault.
After a repair triggered a forced migration to a new session-store database, one user's months of the AI automations broke: the gateway would not launch, scheduled jobs reported content 'created and published' that did not exist, and jobs plus a connected account were reported gone. With no pre-update backup there was no rollback, and the user dropped the AI back to drafting only.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
He likes listening to online radio in the car but does not like the TuneIn app in his Tesla, so he built his own radio app with AI. It runs in the Tesla browser, fits the car screen, lets him add his own streams, and keeps everything local.
Hailey, a pediatric dentist (Dallas beauty/fashion creator), had her oral board exam in three weeks with only nine study days because she works four days a week. Her AI 'Mimi' asked for her work schedule, realistic study hours, weak topics, and exact exam date, then generated a 3-week plan (Week 1 Foundations, Week 2 Clinical Core, Week 3 Integration & Polish) mapping growth & development, behavior management, cariology, pulp therapy, trauma, pharmacology, and oral surgery to each day, w
Adam Mosseri (Instagram head, 4.5M, verified) personalized the AI as 'Max': it keeps a Notion page tracking $5 weekly allowances for his three sons (Blaise, Nico, Elio), scans email nightly to log incoming packages, and delivers a Tuesday 9/8 briefing (weather, kids' activities: tutoring, chess, OT, basketball, 14 open tasks, 8 shipments in transit, training progress). Comments were dominated by anti-AI sentiment, not the functionality.
He directs academic tech at a university. Every semester some instructors never set up their courses, so students walk into empty course pages. A day after signing up, he had the AI build a CSV of upcoming courses with no content, or where the instructor has never entered the course. The list also told him one course was already open to students when courses should not be open yet, so he closed it.
He points the AI at a folder holding a game ROM and an emulator and gives it a standing prompt: translate the whole game, keep the text on screen, and change nothing about how the game plays. The AI does the translation and tests it in the emulator itself, and he turns the finished work into a patch file so other players can use the translation without anyone sharing the game itself.
A man who uses three browsers daily always missed plugins in Safari. He told the AI it could get the source code of one of his favourite Chrome plugins from his Chrome install, then port it and install it in Safari. After 20 minutes and a few dollars of his plan, he had Session Buddy working in Safari.
