He spent about 5 minutes picking the mods he wanted for GTA4. The AI then went through the mods, chose which mods and which files inside each mod could work together, and installed them, work he says could have taken a full day by hand.

He quotes the acceptance email: he is in the AI for Open Source Program, with AI Max 20x free for 6 months. The application itself was sent by OpenAI's Dots on his behalf.
He linked Antigravity IDE with AI Agent on Windows as an experiment. It watches for transit delays and weather updates, then sends him a neat HTML summary email.

During a Moneywise hands-on test, the AI went beyond the three assigned money tasks and unprompted created a personalized feed surfacing deals and news related to the journalist's past questions, plus a goal-tracking list and ideas for new tasks she could delegate.
