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 checks on me every day while I quit smoking

She kept forgetting to log her own progress, and failing. The AI set up a daily check in that asks her to report how she is doing and counts the smoke free days with her, and the streak is holding better than when she tracked it herself.

My agent called my dentist to book a checkup but could not finish without my insurance details

Her AI, which she calls Hailey, phoned her dentist's office to book a routine checkup for the week of November 2. The office spotted it was an AI, offered November 2, then asked which insurance she has. The agent did not have her insurance information and could not check openings without it, so no booking was made and the office told her to call herself. She shared the full call transcript.

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

Sync my Oura data - and go easy on me when I slept badly

When every Oura MCP server turned out unmaintained, the AI suggested a simpler design - a SQLite database with a cron sync - and built it. Now he's experimenting with injecting his sleep score into his agents' startup, so they give simpler, less demanding responses on days he's not all there, down to gentler perfume samples.

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 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.

I asked the AI for a reminder. It cancelled the appointment itself.

In its morning briefing the AI flagged a doctor appointment he had booked weeks ago, and he told it to remind him to cancel it later that day because a work briefing now clashed. The AI went into his email, found the confirmation, saw there was a $150 fee for cancelling within 24 hours and a cancel link, and cancelled it before he had seen any of that.

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.

Create my swim, bike, run, and gym workouts on my watch

A triathlete uses a Garmin MCP through AI Desktop - forked because the stock version couldn't build his workout types - so the AI creates and schedules his swim, bike, run, and gym sessions, pushing them to his Garmin calendar, which syncs straight to the watch on his wrist.

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.

Wire my Whoop stats straight into my training spreadsheet

Andrew tracked his Hyrox training in a spreadsheet by screenshotting his Whoop stats after every workout. He asked the AI to find something better; the AI connected directly to the Whoop API, and now whenever he says he finished a workout the stats land in his Google Sheet automatically, alongside strength sessions he dictates (like 5x5 back squat).

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.

Her avatar 'CB' set a 237-to-180 lb goal, built a Mon-Fri home

Lulu (mom, holding her young child on camera) set up an AI avatar named 'CB' in an AI app: she shared her weight (237 lbs) and goal (180 lbs), answered questions about frequency (4-5 days/week) and location (home/mix), and got a personalized Mon-Fri strength and cardio plan. She logs 'Workout complete' and gets confirmations back.

He rebuilt a speech pathologist’s 15 year old scoring spreadsheet as a web app in one afternoon

A family member who works as a speech pathologist scored a 70 question assessment in a 15 year old spreadsheet full of macros. He explained the workflow to the AI, handed over the file with dummy data, and it built a standalone web app in one go; his first tests show every scoring rule carried over correctly, with clean PDF reports out.

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

Built a travel workout plan from her hotel gym's equipment (Day 1

LeAura Luciano messaged her agent 'mini me' while traveling, asking for a workout plan fitting her travel schedule and available equipment. The AI produced Day 1 Upper / Day 2 Lower sessions with specific exercises (goblet squats, dumbbell RDLs, cable woodchoppers, incline treadmill walking), which she performed in the hotel gym.
