A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.

The AI saw that Caddy was nearly out of memory on his service, checked the traffic, and found bots hitting IP addresses his customers never use. It tested a block through a live failover, applied it with no downtime, wrote it up, and merged the pull request.
It deleted 7,102 promo emails from my Gmail in one run, then checked none were left
His Gmail Promotions tab held 7,102 promo emails built up over years of online shopping. He asked the AI to clear them. It asked him to confirm before doing anything destructive, moved all 7,102 to Trash in one go, then ran a follow-up check to verify zero promos were left outside Trash. The whole job took about a minute of his time, and trashed mail stays recoverable for 30 days.
The AI produces his 9 AM AI news brief and a 90-second narrated video entirely on its cloud computer
A Chinese AI-tools blogger (Guizang, op7418) set the AI a scheduled task, live since Oct 9, 2026: every day at 9 AM it compiles yesterday's AI news from four sources (his new X bookmarks, found by diffing a daily bookmark-ID snapshot; a radar of his own posts ranked by likes + 2x comments + 2x saves, with substantive comments pulled in; his newsletters; AI news sites) into a 5 to 7 item brief under hard rules: every item links the original post, prices and benchmark numbers must be rechecked on official pages, rumors are labeled unverified, and an unreadable source is reported as 'not read', never merged with 'no update'. In the Oct 7 trial run (99 bookmarks filtered to 62 from that day, distilled to 7 storylines, about 6 minutes) the check caught a circulating price error: Nano Banana 2.1's 4K price was $0.113 on Google's pricing page, not the widely shared $0.076. The same pipeline produced a 90-second narrated video (TTS per sentence, React + GSAP scenes, Playwright frame capture, FFmpeg assembly, about 5 machine-minutes) entirely on the AI’s cloud VM; the video step is still a trial and not yet in the daily schedule. He published the full reusable prompt and his three open-source skills.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
Port 430,000 lines of TypeScript to Rust with coding agents

The AI sorted my 500 messy desktop files and filed 490 where I wanted
Diana at AI Agents Library gave the AI 500 loose files from her real business desktop. It proposed a folder plan first, she approved it, and it filed 490 where she wanted them, held 10 back for review instead of guessing, and caught all 48 exact duplicates and all 34 renamed ones.
