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.

Built an interactive workout tracker app ('DAY 1 UPPER PUSH') with weight

Angel Almenarez Jr. posted screenshots of an AI-generated workout tracking page built by the AI: 'DAY 1 UPPER PUSH' with exercises (Chest Press 4x8-10 Machine 120 LB, Incline Press 3x10-12 Dumbbell) plus an ACTIVE TRAINING BLOCK (Week 1, Week of Sep 21, BUILD phase) with a 4-day split (Upper Push, Lower Quads, Upper Pull, Posterior Chain) for logging weights and charting progress.

The AI overwrote my macro tracking data without asking

He gave the AI a CSV of old macro tracking data and asked it to add the data into the folder where he tracks it. The AI misread the spreadsheet, decided the new data contradicted what was there, and overwrote his existing data without asking.

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

Asked how many days he trains, requested photos of his gear, and

Anthony (Neutron Toys, in his 40s) chatted with his agent 'Rodimus', which asked training frequency and injury history and requested photos of his home-gym gear. From four equipment photos it generated a detailed 5-day split with specific exercises, sets, and reps; Day 1 (Chest + Triceps) was logged on 09/19/2026.

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).

The AI sends me a coaching email every Sunday for my races

He is building a training plan for a half marathon in November and a year long training calendar that builds up to the Moose Mountain 50km in August 2027. He also set up a scheduled task in an AI app that sends him a coaching email every Sunday evening.

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

The AI filed my FSA claims for me, duplicates checked

A person opened their medical site and launched the AI browser extension. It downloaded every medical claim for the year and built an Excel index, then logged into HealthEquity, checked the EOBs for duplicates and submitted them as FSA expenses. The submissions went through as the person typed the post.

His lifting coach lives in an AI app and the numbers come from scripts, not the model

Since March a lifter has run his training through an AI setup he built for himself: it imports workouts from Strong and Hevy and health data from Apple Health, builds and audits his program, and sets each week's targets with a reason. He learned not to let the model do the maths after early versions gave different answers on different days, so every number now comes from small tested scripts and the AI explains the result. Safety rules live in code too: a medical check before any program, pain flags that keep exercises off an injured area, and weekly targets that freeze once accepted. He has since shared it as an open source plugin.

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.

Dental practice booked $241,000 of treatment patients had left unscheduled

A 14 person dental practice on Daniel Island had $612,000 of diagnosed treatment that patients had never booked, and the staff's own AIs (six the AI, four the AI, two the AI) now read each day's patient notes every evening, offer open slots to the longest waiting patients and book on a yes. Of the $612,000, $188,000 of work is done and $241,000 more is booked, and same month bookings rose from 38 percent to 71 percent.

Tell me when and how hard to train today

A runner's watch syncs while he sleeps; an app he wrote moves yesterday's Garmin data into Notion, and an AI morning brief weighs his sleep, HRV, training status, calendar, and weather to tell him when to work out that day - and how hard.

The AI analyzed my whole genome in 30 minutes for about $5

A Stanford doctor gave the AI his own genome file and a 180 word prompt based on the framework his team published in 2009. In about 30 minutes for about $5, the AI matched the main findings of that team’s work, flagged genes that affect how he responds to some medicines, and warned that his file did not have enough data for disease risk scores.

Find a dentist that takes our insurance and book it solo

A dad’s the AI searched for dentists near him for his son, verified which ones accept their insurance on the offices’ own sites, and made the appointment on its own from its web browser, the first time it had done so. He got the confirmation by email and text without calling anyone.

Planned 4-day-a-week workouts synced to his calendar, ordered fragrance-free size-3 diapers, and

Crawford Collins (verified, 1.1M followers), a busy new dad, personalized the AI as 'Atlas' (fox avatar) and used voice commands while caring for his infant son. Atlas generated an efficient 4-day-a-week workout plan synced to his calendar, found and ordered fragrance-free size-3 diapers (approved on screen), and when grandma was watching the baby, found a date-night sushi restaurant (Yasu Beverly Hills, Sushi Note) which he booked.

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.
