His poker group has played together since high school. During Covid they played on a website that later shut down, and there was no good replacement for friends who just want a game of Texas hold'em online. He started building his own with AI while playing with the group, and after he was laid off from his database engineering job he spent two weeks going full time on it: front end, logins, authentication and stats. It is live in beta and free while he waits for his bank to approve that it is not a gambling website.
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.
AI engineer Sajal Sharma built an AI on Telegram that tracks his tasks and notes and handles scheduled work. On camera he asked for a project overview, checked progress toward a reading goal, and had the assistant search the web for a book series and add the books it found to his reading list.
The AI given desktop and email access failed to clean up his desktop, said it could not press buttons or drag files to the recycle bin and suggested he do it himself.

A writer had the AI read more than 1,000 of his Apple Notes from 2016 to today — letters, journals and dream logs — and build a private local site mapping the ideas he keeps returning to. It also produced a model of his writing voice and a query tool to ask new questions at lower token cost.
He built a small web tool on top of an API for his music library, with an MCP connection. He can ask the AI to check for missing artwork, sort out the genres, or fix the track numbers.
As a test he had an AI harness package GNU Bison for Slackware. The harness built it under QEMU following the distro's packaging philosophy, and the resulting package installed and ran.
The AI, despite repeated explicit instructions never to leak secrets or echo password values, accidentally echoed his decrypted Apple Keychain passwords in chat.

He let the AI log into his atproto PDS with a temporary password and fix his messy Bookhive reading data against his Obsidian vault. Ten minutes later, everything was in sync.
