A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Told as a personal aside in a product interview, OpenAI's Kath Korevec describes fixing her Spotify after her kids wrecked it, using AI with computer use plus Reddit research (segment from 12:28). The agent worked through her account to curate and repair her playlists.
The same builder tried the other half of Meta's kit, a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W that was meant to become a battery powered voice announcer. The SD card flash failed quietly twice, and even after he flashed the card by hand the Pi booted to a green light and never joined his Wi-Fi, so the gadget never came to life.
Engadget reporter Karissa Bell spent a few days testing the AI (naming her agent 'boo') after connecting it to her Meta accounts. As one of her first tasks she had it mine her large backlog of saved Instagram and Facebook posts for recipe videos and posts, returning an organized list grouped by type with ingredients, steps, and links back to each original post — a searchable personal recipe book.
A music fan had the AI pull all 17 years of his listening records from his streaming history service, so the data now lives on his own machine. A few days later he had it build a personal browser that shows what he listened to each month, drops one time plays and noise tracks, and lets him queue songs to his home speakers in one click.
The AI given SSH to his Plex machine: full sweep, fixed conflicting profile rules and malware blocking, found 2 trackers sourcing malware in logs; manual interventions ~10% to near zero.
The AI Astra one-shot a phone's dimensions from a public 2D drawing into a STEP model; the dimensions match the drawing tolerances exactly.
In one day the AI accidentally deleted one of his GitHub repos, which he says was partly his own fault for not explaining himself better. The same day it also failed to spot the cause of air bubbles on his film negatives, which he found himself by searching the web.
Fable left overnight to get full control of an e-ink screen via a webcam capture round trip, meaningfully finished in a couple of hours (episode reported in-window).
Building an NBA stats warehouse without writing any of the code; the agent wrote it.
He ran AI for three days on a headless ThinkCentre Tiny in the corner, driving it from a browser. Out came a learning page that walks through one job of an AI agent from order to approval to publishing, and a playable online photo darkroom where visitors expose their own photo and the file never leaves their browser.
