A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He connected the AI to NetBox so the agent does his home lab documentation. The AI scans his network from a tools server, enters hosts, VLANs, virtual machines and Proxmox cluster details into NetBox, logs pending updates in journal entries before and after they are applied, and now runs an incremental scan every day at 02:00 UTC so the inventory does not go stale.
Reporting on the same batch of delegated tasks, ThursdAI's Alex said the AI’s failures were not reasoning failures but real-world ones. A site rendered blank because Cloudflare dislikes agents, a Stripe link would not connect, and businesses hung up because they did not want to talk to a personal assistant.
Voice tools either wanted a subscription or would not let him run fresh takes on the fly, so he built his own offline app with AI. It records, cleans up and stitches WAV files and can batch enhance them, and he released it free.
A local Qwen model on his home server pulls his RSS and social feeds, release notes and papers, scores each item against an interest profile he keeps by hand, and writes a one line summary. Nothing leaves the machine. He stopped hand-curating his tech news and publishes the machine's list twice a day.
The AI agy hooked itself to Discord, set up and troubleshoots SSH servers on his home network, commands it remotely.
He had added 44 Gmail filters over 5 years and they were not working well. With an AI skill that uses the Gmail MCP and a lot of email history to test against, the set was cut down to 16 filters that work better with fewer false positives. He wrote the process down as a skill afterward.
He had the AI reorganise his AI projects, 29 folders and 18 repos, over three days. Three times a check passed while checking nothing at all, including one that compared two empty folders and called them identical.
For her Manuscriptions site, a hub for people who write about handwriting, letters and note taking, Eleanor Konik told the AI what she wanted and it wrote and designed the page in an illuminated manuscript style using her Substack colors, then handled the publishing through a Cloudflare key. Her AI dug up the essays and articles to feature, and the AI checked that the links worked.
Cat's agent 'Brio' generated a document titled 'Account Management Ops Analyst - Practice Questions'; she was shown writing 'Interview prep' on a whiteboard alongside it.
Got the AI to jailbreak his Kindles and add them to his home tech ecosystem, and to hack a Spotify Car Thing so a Raspberry Pi can drive it.
