A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Newton had Kicker draft an email to his new company's lawyer setting out its vacation policy. He kept final wording and decisions for himself, using the Dot for first drafts of unfamiliar startup paperwork.
He asked the AI to check a researcher's co-authors on ORCID for possible Mastodon links. The AI checked 163 co-authors, 120 of whom had ORCID profiles, and found none.
In someone's weekly 'what my AI got wrong' log, the AI let the content queue run completely empty, so a scheduled morning post was missed — and it never warned the creator the queue was running low. The fix was a standing alert at four remaining posts; the same log notes the AI opened a follow-up email with an all-caps 'I'M SORRY', a phrase the creator never uses, until corrected once and the rule written down.
Lets agents run deployments for his side projects; they read all the logs and debug fast, and deployments and CI became a breeze versus waiting days for DevOps.
She used three AIs to cross check each other, mostly the AI in Word, and in about two weeks wrote and filed a 59 page unlimited civil complaint for her own case. The lawyers tasked with that work charge $300 an hour.
A daily routine on Sonnet reads his email, answers the routine messages from templates, and puts the rest on his todo list. When a task needs more than an hour, the routine blocks time for it on his calendar.
A solo reseller's the AI-built spreadsheet app is his back office: he dumps in a batch of receipts and it enters them, creates a folder for each new item, and sorts the item's photos and receipts into it alongside measurement files. The same app recommends prices, writes his listings and does resale research, which is the part he says makes the $20 a month worth it.
Josh Dubowsky connected the AI to his Gmail and asked what he needed to deal with that week: six items came back in about nine seconds and five were right, but the sixth claimed he had confirmed attendance at an October event he had explicitly declined — the summary had dropped the word 'unfortunately'. Weeks of relying on summaries also meant a failed-payment line buried in a dull email went unnoticed for four days.
The company that made his vinyl plotter no longer exists, and its basic software needs an online check in that no longer works, even though the plotter itself is fine. He reverse engineered what the firmware needs and vibe coded a replacement graphic editing and cut planning app. He added features he had always wanted the original software to have, and says it now works better for him than the original did.
He had the AI transcribe more than 70,000 images of old documents in two days, for $380 in total. The handwriting and worn pages hurt the quality and it did worse in Portuguese than in English, but the AI handled the whole run.
Every idea is a real post from someone who tried it, summarized in our words, with a link to the original. App names are swapped for plain words.
