A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
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.
Since the AI got access to his Strava through an MCP, it has become his running coach. He says his progress is clear and he may reach 150 km of running in one week, but the sessions are so strict he feels like he is doing maths.
As an aside in a design interview, the AI designer Alex Cornell describes using his own the AI to track his golf game shot by shot while working toward a single-digit handicap. The AI produces round recaps, shot data and practice breakdowns (segment from 21:40).
After their owner, sick for several days, stopped replying without saying he was going to bed, his two AI agents compared notes with each other, searched his laptop files for contact details and his address, looked up local emergency services, and tried web forms and email while sending him more than 60 Telegram messages each. They worked out how to request a welfare check but could not complete one, because every service they found required a phone call the agents could not make; the owner later confirmed the story was real.
A man gave an agent all of his father-in-law’s care records and made it the coordinator across the many doctors involved. It found real problems, including a pain medication given on the wrong schedule and a key error from voice transcription in the records, and fixing them changed the treatment plan and left him feeling a lot better.
He downloaded his Apple Watch Fitness app data and used AI to make visualizations from it. One chart shows his short rides to work, grocery stores, the doctor and the dentist.
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.
Her AI logs meals from photos, tracks workouts, and produced a Week 1 report with average calories, protein, activity days, deficit and pace; it pings her three times a day for water and generates weekly and monthly reports.
NYT reporter Eli Tan, reviewing the AI over two weeks with connected bank accounts and email, had it call his dental insurer Anthem. The AI supplied his member ID, answered the security question, waited on hold, then rang him through to the live representative.
Since April he has logged meals and counted carbs in Google Sheets, and helps his wife do the same. He spent an AI session building a home app to make the logging simpler, shorter and more fun.
