Watch my doctor's cancellation queue and grab a same-day slot

Dan Peguine's the AI watched his fully-booked doctor's cancellation queue and booked a same-day slot when an opening appeared. The case reached X as a quote-post by Meta executive Alexandr Wang, so the amplifier is promotional even though the underlying report is a user's own.

I built my brother a way to text, browse and play with two head switches

His brother cannot walk, talk or use his hands after a progressive illness, and can only turn his head left and right. Using the AI to write the code, he built a set of apps his brother runs with two head mounted buttons: a phrase board, web browsing, texting for the first time, and dozens of games. The project became a nonprofit that gives the kits away.

He made his own workout app with AI and dropped the paid one

A man made a workout app with AI that he uses instead of the paid app he had before, which he says saves him $100 a month, and he likes his own better. One sound bug in it is still unsolved despite his and the AI’s efforts.

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

Sync my health data locally and flag anything unusual

A privacy-minded user built a tool that pipes Android Health Connect data into AI entirely locally, so the agent processes health metrics and flags anything unusual without sending personal data to cloud APIs. The recommended setup pairs it with a local model for the same reason.

The AI asks 12 questions and builds your gym plan in about 5 minutes

The founder of the Gym Commitment app connected the AI to it through a custom MCP server so the AI works as the trainer inside the app. In a real test, a user described his goal and schedule, the AI asked up to 12 questions, searched 1,872 exercises, and pushed a 4 day plan to his phone in about 5 minutes, only after he approved it.

Ran a 30-day 'train like a pro fighter' program via AI coach

MMA creator Nina Marie Daniele (verified, 5.3M followers, 48K likes) set a 30-day goal to train like a pro fighter; the AI assigned an AI coach 'Drama Queen' who built Day 1-7+ programs (warm-up, 5 interval sprints with 1-min rests, tire lifts, assault bike), recommended a 40g-protein tempeh grain bowl, and tracked a low sleep score of 45. Her final interval time beat her prior best (7:42 vs 8:48).

Be my trainer and nutritionist across my watch, food log and scale

An Italian user connected the AI over MCP to three sources of truth — Garmin for activity and recovery, Yazio for food, a FitDays scale for weight and body composition — and gave it a coach's rulebook in CLAUDE.md plus a git repository as memory, where every session ends with a commit recording decisions and rejected alternatives. Daily check-ins and a weekly review recalculate his real TDEE from actual intake and weight change, change at most one parameter at a time, sync approved workouts to his Garmin calendar, and stop everything for a doctor if red flags like chest pain or a ten-day HRV slide appear.

Coach my running from my real Garmin and Strava data

A runner replaced uploading Garmin screenshots into AI with a self-hosted agent on a Mac mini that reads his Garmin data (sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, VO2 trend, laps) through MCP plus his Strava uploads: it messages him at 8am, designs the day's run and writes it to Garmin Connect, then grades each session against the prescription when it lands on Strava and decides when training load goes up. He hit his sub-20-minute 5K goal about a month later, and it saves him the hour a week he used to spend planning.

Merge LoseIt and Garmin into one daily health dashboard with AI

A commenter describes a local desktop app the AI helped him write: a script runs daily to pull his LoseIt nutrition and Garmin workout data into a local database, and an MCP link lets the AI review each day in a small browser UI, give advice, and plan runs or swims toward his goal of losing 40 pounds.
