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.
Inc. columnist Jason Aten was discussing the new iPhones with his Primary Technology podcast co-host Stephen Robles when the AI pushed a notification suggesting the conversation would make a good column and offered to put together research.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
A teacher built his own LMS layer on top of Google Classroom using AI and Apps Script (he names the AI and the AI as both able to drive it): far deeper grading features than Classroom offers, a quick-select comment bank where any feedback he writes can be saved for reuse with one click, and on return each student automatically gets a formatted read-only feedback document both emailed to them and attached to the Classroom assignment. Student data never leaves the district's Google ecosystem.
He does not rely on a single AI model, so a bot agent continuously summarizes and consolidates his interactions across models into one updated file. The shared memory means any model he picks up knows what the others knew.
He used AI to decompile the Android app for Swedish public service radio and add an open source option for casting audio. He also set up a script on his home server that pulls updates, applies the patch, and pushes the updated app to his phone.
A developer asked the AI to batch-generate images through fal.ai in budgeted chunks with checks between runs. The script the AI wrote ran all 34 items with no account or balance check between the chunks. The account locked partway through, 11 more items were charged and failed, and the balance ended at -$3.68.

This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
The AI took the raw JSON vote files and, using the state's own rules for overvotes, skips and duplicate votes, built the full preference schedule for a US House race. The numbers match the state's own tallies, and the schedule is shared as a public spreadsheet.
