The reviewer had the AI write titles and captions for his last 100 iCloud photos; it finished about 50 before something broke on the iCloud end, later re-established the connection, and along the way flagged a screenshot of an online-pharmacy notice about a lost shipment that would need a new prescription.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.

She produced a complete video with AI and ElevenLabs in about an hour
In her German-language the AI guide, Lucerne researcher and lecturer Sophie Hundertmark describes her own test: The AI first created a complete project folder with all needed files and a sensible structure from her source materials (including a PowerPoint presentation and images), then wrote the video script from those materials for her approval; after approval it executed the production steps automatically, with ElevenLabs integrated to generate the voiceover. She added a QR code at the end herself. The full video took about an hour, with AI doing most of the work.
The AI fixed my dead 3D scanner software and it works again
His 3D Systems Sense 2 scanner had no working software left, since the maker and the other scanner apps had all dropped support.

Late in a very long Telegram session, the agent stopped actually sending its replies for 3 straight turns
A user runs a long-lived agent session over Telegram: more than 4,000 messages and about $231 of usage in one session. Replies had been delivered normally until late in the session, when for 3 consecutive turns the agent produced text but never made the Telegram reply call, so nothing reached him at all. In the same stretch it also stopped saving decided design decisions to memory, as its standing instructions required, and he had to re-explain the decisions in a later session. A manual service restart and a log review found the cause.

Dot updates my notes and finds my order details for me
He stopped starting dozens of separate work chats and remote the AI chats every day. Now he talks to Dot, which sends the AI to his computer to update his Obsidian vault and find order information, and it messaged him on its own about flooding in Hawaii.
