Build my game prototype and get it onto my phone — third route worked

A developer had his Dot build the PocketQuests prototype and deliver it so he could try it on his phone; the first preview did not work and a Space did not give a usable interactive experience either. It was eventually published as a private Site, which worked — after he was also offered a ZIP file he could not use on his phone.

This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.

Build my own desktop image editor in five weeks

A creator who fixes AI-generated images in ComfyUI had the AI build him a full desktop editor, Scumble, over five weeks starting September 4: 632 commits and about 83,000 lines of app code, tested against his own pictures. It reached 43 releases and a Microsoft Store listing, and every feature doubles as a command an agent can call.

The AI could not sort the pages of my gig cheat sheet

He built a Word document of cheat sheets for 40 songs for a gig the next day, each song title in Heading 1 style with the lyrics and chords below. He told the AI to sort the pages by that heading text, keeping the text as it was, and the AI could not do it. He says the graphics in the document block the sort.

This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.

Had the AI 'Mimi' plan her son Leo's 2nd birthday: a six-page printable

Lauren El-Dahdah, a Houston wellness/lifestyle creator overwhelmed in September, tested the AI via her agent 'Mimi' (beachy avatar). For her son Leo's 2nd birthday, Mimi created a six-page printable 'Leo's Born 2 Ball Party Plan' (sports theme, Sept 26): countdown timeline, guest communication templates, daily task checklists, shopping lists organized by zone, and a day-of run-of-show.
