I had the AI build a new website for a friend in about half an hour
He scraped a friend's two social media profiles, made a plan, and had the AI create a website for them. In about half an hour he had a site to show them.
A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.

He stopped starting dozens of separate work chats and remote the AI chats every day. Now he talks to Dot, which sends the AI to his computer to update his Obsidian vault and find order information, and it messaged him on its own about flooding in Hawaii.
The AI ported his password tool to iOS, the tool every one of his passwords comes from
A man generates all his passwords with his own little tool, which hashes the site name, username and a version number with his passphrase. He had the AI port the tool to iOS, and the setup recently saved him when his laptop died: he could rebuild every important password from memory with a fresh copy of the config.
The AI turned my textbook demo into a 3D game my students now fly
A professor took the PID control demo from his own book and had the AI build it as an eight mission 3D flying game for his students. Students predict what the drone will do before each flight, and he checked every mission against his book version before it went live.
Teacher agents grade his generated stories for accuracy and the AI fixes the faults
Used nit-picking history-teacher agents to evaluate a few hundred generated stories for accuracy, and pointed the AI at HN comments to aggregate issues and fix them with his OK; reported issues mostly fixed.
The AI helped design his first two circuit boards ever, and working prototypes arrived
The AI helped design his first 2 PCBs ever, identifying components, reviewing, and writing Python scripts that generate the KiCad files; working prototypes were received.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
My agent reads every the AI release and DMs me what matters
He set up an AI that wakes up when a new the AI release lands. It reads the changelog, picks out only the parts he cares about, and sends him a DM when there is something of interest.
I only kept Photoshop for one file job. The AI now does it in batches.
For years he kept a Photoshop contract just to read and write DDS texture files for his ETS2 and ATS mods. He asked the AI, and now he can convert DDS to PSD and back in batches.
Mine 10 years of my own notes into a personal idea map
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.
My agent ran my star photos through the whole processing pipeline
Two of his astrophotos, M 27 and the Pleiades, went through a local processing pipeline that his AI agent Orobas built and ran. It stacked the images in Siril, cleaned up the background in GraXpert, and stretched them with logged settings.
Every idea is a real post from someone who tried it, summarized in our words, with a link to the original. App names are swapped for plain words.
