koltregaskes · x · 2026-10-06
Nate Jones lists 26 concrete things he's used AI agents for in recent months, with the list still growing:
- Everyday tools: build custom software for specific problems, set up devices, remove unwanted software
- Family coordination: a WhatsApp assistant managing calendars, invitations, and scheduling
- Children's education: games and learning materials built around their interests
- Reading management: track books across formats, monitor releases, flag narrow reading patterns
- Household admin: moving logistics, registrations, landlords, permits, phone calls
He links to more examples and invites readers to add their own.
