A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He needed an app on his QNAP NAS that only existed as open source Linux code, with no NAS package. He gave the AI the model, the AI searched the web and gave him a downloadable package in about ten and a half minutes, and he installed it and it works.
A man set up his agent setup so the AI could ping him on Telegram when it needed hands. Working on hardware together, he got a message every 5 to 15 minutes telling him to move a resistor or patch cable in a set way, and following the instructions they got the hardware working the way he wanted.
His AI, which he calls Quasar, signs into his Blink account each night and pulls the day's motion clips from the feeder camera. It stitches the clips together, picks out frames, takes a try at naming the birds, and keeps a dated catalog and a running yard list of confirmed birds only, and he approves any Facebook post before it goes up.
The writer asked his dot for help with his new broadband provider. The dot did deep-dive troubleshooting, contacting the provider's support itself, and figured out a login issue he says he could not get around on his own.
Hailey, a pediatric dentist (Dallas beauty/fashion creator), had her oral board exam in three weeks with only nine study days because she works four days a week. Her AI 'Mimi' asked for her work schedule, realistic study hours, weak topics, and exact exam date, then generated a 3-week plan (Week 1 Foundations, Week 2 Clinical Core, Week 3 Integration & Polish) mapping growth & development, behavior management, cariology, pulp therapy, trauma, pharmacology, and oral surgery to each day.
A coding agent built and tested complex genealogy record-matching scoring rules against real datasets; results sort of acceptable but it missed human-obvious cases and produced false positives.
Made an ESP32 flight radar for his desk showing planes over his house, two of them including one for his wife, running around the clock.
A young man (OUT OF OFFICE, 30K followers) photographed his wardrobe and fed the pieces to the AI before a dinner reservation. Nova chose a black henley and dark wide-leg jeans, cross-checked his calendar and noticed the reservation was outside so it advised layering a long-sleeve, then recommended loafers over sneakers plus a silver watch and bracelet.
He had never played fantasy football before this year. His AI powered team scrapes injury reports and fantasy blogs and models player points, and he is beating his friends every week.
The AI plus Jev built a browser extension in about 10 minutes that ranks HN comments for sloppiness, which he uses to view HN.
