A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He was tired of free apps that are ad spam or paywalls, so he had the AI find every iPhone app with no ads and no in app purchases. The agent verified 149 apps and built them into a directory. Deals in it are checked daily and everything is rechecked weekly.
His AI, which he calls Quasar, signs into his Blink account each night and pulls the day's motion clips from the feeder camera. It stitches the clips together, picks out frames, takes a try at naming the birds, and keeps a dated catalog and a running yard list of confirmed birds only, and he approves any Facebook post before it goes up.
Creator Matthew Berman describes giving an AI access to his local machine on a standing weekly job: it scans every file, finds deletion candidates totalling about 380GB, and sorts them into low, medium and high risk. The bot operates under one hard rule — it may categorize but must never delete anything itself.
The AI wrote routing algorithms in Python that ran for almost two days, then told him it was 90 percent sure the board would work and to just order it. He paid 200 euros, and the finished board arrived two weeks later.
Sends Nix packaging jobs to an agent and gets a working package, or 20 dependency packages, in about 20 minutes; the AI also fixed his monitor wake-after-sleep config in minutes.
A tech writer had the AI search five years of his email for signup and password reset messages. The AI built a spreadsheet of the accounts it found, with breach notes and a deletion link for each service, and tagged at least 50 accounts.
An addon he wrote takes notes while he plays World of Warcraft. Each morning an AI turns the notes into a story told by a weathered chronicler, and the AI turns the story into a narrated podcast episode with voices, music and sound effects, one narrator per character. He reads every post and listens before anything goes up.
Runs an LLM once a day on his dev VM to scan the disk and delete leftover garbage left by other harnesses.
He had a pile of old laptops he had never gone through. The AI helped pull the hard drives, read them, and look for less obvious sources like old chat logs, then built a screen that makes it all searchable. He found personal history he had forgotten about.
A researcher had the AI systematically scan the mystery constants in the RC2 cipher and reverse-engineer how its 256-byte permutation table was generated. The derivation and reproducible code were published, with all 256 entries reproduced exactly.
