He joined the AI’s cloud computer to his Tailscale network and gave it SSH access to a restricted user on his home Ubuntu box. After a series of proceed replies from him, the AI set the rest up itself. It can now run commands and browser work through his own hardware, and he uses it as the control point for his homelab: Docker, VMs, his NAS and Proxmox. The setup uses a dedicated non sudo user and SSH keys, with no open ports.
With the AI’s help, mainly converting his site from Craft to 11ty, he revived an old side project. Subscribe to is a searchable directory of email newsletters and RSS feeds, and it is back online.
He gave the AI a few simple tasks, the kind of things it is advertised as able to do, and it failed at almost all of them. It ended up costing him much more time than it would have saved.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
A high school student sent his study guide PDF to the AI and had it build a website with a quiz style practice interface using the guide's own questions. He says it works well and beats making practice sets by hand when time is short.
A man built an agent in Antigravity that goes through his concert history from the last 3 years and picks new shows near him, ranked by how much he is likely to like them. It also filters shows by 18 plus or all ages, so he can take his daughter.
He had the AI build a blog site out of his own Mastodon posts, and the blog is live. A Python script fetches the posts, tidies them up and pulls threads together into single posts.
Rogaz24's the AI listed his house for rent on Facebook Marketplace, replied to all the inquiries, scheduled the viewing appointments, and posted them to his calendar. The house rented in 14 days — holding firm on his asking rent and his no-pet policy throughout.
His SSD had become very slow at writing. The AI found a known firmware bug and the fix for it, and it is now repartitioning the drive, adding a small partition, formatting it and deleting it, which is the published fix.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
