A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
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 made a family calendar app that grabs the family Google Calendar feed and turns it into a dashboard for a Raspberry Pi or any spare screen at home. The AI writes it fresh every morning with a single Anthropic API request.
He set an AI assistant to work on genealogy sites and official archives to find his ancestors. It searches for a person with unknown parents, transcribes the record it finds, checks it against an official act and adds the new people to his family tree file, and the tree now holds more than 1,200 people across 13 generations on one branch.
Gave AI full control to build a desktop environment he uses daily, with features appearing during the workday and lower RAM and VRAM use than standard desktops.
Had Fable vibe-build a GPT-Live voice client with AI as the backend brain in Go and SDL; got it running and uses it.
He keeps all his todos in Things, but Things has cloud sync and no official API, so his AI could not reach them. He told the AI to build it, and a minute or two later his todos were syncing from his LLM across all his Apple devices.
The AI in Antigravity built an Enigma decryption program, fetched repos, ran an 82M combination scan and decrypted the message in about 45 minutes.
Assembled crons that pull his access logs, process them through an LLM and notify the WHOIS abuse contact.
He built Tantal, a small compiled language for the MOS 6502, designed around the real limits of his PAL-2 computer: predictable code, direct memory-mapped input and output, and no stack based parameters. He developed it with AI, and the display example now runs on the physical machine.
Broke copy protection with GPT 5.6 and has a forked Hatari that boots and runs Notator and Creator by emulating the dongle.
