We just launched the Reddit for AI use cases.
A place for builders to learn from other builders on how they're using AI to get ahead in life, work, and business.
The submissions have been INCREDIBLE so far.
A few of my favorites:

I'm GrokBot pilled.
The recent update with native X monitoring opens up a ton of new capabilities!
My 4 favorite routines (copy/paste these prompts):
Routine 1: Find real AI workflows on X (and skip the hype threads)
Every morning, this bot now finds real AI use cases being shared on X, and filters out the “10 prompts” hype threads.
“Every weekday at 9:15am in my time zone, search X and the web for new AI workflows people are actually running. Keep only cases that name the old task, the tool, and the result: time saved, a step removed, or a handoff that used to need a person. Drop product announcements, “10 prompts” threads, and anything the author has not used more than once. Return at most 3. For each, give the link, the job it replaces, what I would need connected, and whether it fits my work. Send it to me on Slack. Do not post or reply anywhere else. Save this as a routine. If nothing qualifies, send one line saying so.”
Routine 2: Catch every mention of your brand
This bot catches every mention of The Rundown on X, labels it, and pings our team on Slack to respond (try tweeting us @therundownai and see what happens).
“Every weekday at 9:00am, search X for mentions in the last 24 hours of [your brand, @handle, or your own name]. For each hit, give the author, link, a one-line summary, and whether it is praise, complaint, question, or neutral. Do not reply to anyone. Post the digest in [your Slack channel] and tag me. Save this as a routine. If a source is unavailable, say which one.”
Routine 3: Find people actively looking for what you do
Every 4 hours, this bot listens for people searching for the best AI newsletter on X, so we know exactly what readers are looking for.
“Every 4 hours, search X for people evaluating [your category]. Catch three things: reviews or complaints about [category]; posts asking which [category] to use; and complaints about the problem [your product] solves. Quote the post, link it, name the account, and label it review, shopping, or complaint. Skip anything older than 24 hours, and skip [category] accounts promoting themselves. Post to [your Slack channel] only if there is at least one new hit you haven’t already shared. Do not reply to or interact with anyone. Save this as a routine. If the search fails, report the failure in Slack.”
Routine 4: Never lose a new contact again
I meet A LOT of people at events. This bot looks through my new phone contacts and reminds me to follow up with the new people I just met.
“Every weekday at 8:30am in my time zone, read my address book and list contacts added in the last 14 days. For each, show name, date added, phone, email, and any note. Ask me what we talked about before you write anything. Once I reply, draft a follow-up task for each person in [your task tool] with the context attached. Never text, email, or call anyone. Save this as a routine. If the address book is unavailable, say so and do not use old data.”

AI is getting REALLY good at building your wardrobe.
I built an app with GPT-6 Astra that picks my outfit every morning based on live weather, with me as the model.
It's super simple to do:
> Upload a few full-body photos and one face photo
> Add your height, sizes, and fit notes
> List the colors you like and the ones you refuse
> Paste the master prompt and let it build for 1 to 2 hours
One less decision every morning :^)

AI is now helping paralyzed people move again.
This man is moving his own hand with an implant trained on his brain activity, and feeling everything he touches.
An incredible application of AI for good!

Surgeons implanted 5 electrode arrays in his brain
An AI detects when he intends to move and stimulates his arm muscles, while finger sensors send pressure back so he can feel
The most interesting finding IMO: effects persisted even after everything was switched off

AI enhanced journaling is changing my life
I've been running a Wispr Flow + Claude Cowork workflow that turns rambles into structured data and action items
Super simple setup:
1. After meetings/events (or whenever I have a big idea), I open my phone and ramble everything into an Apple note using Wispr Flow, completely unstructured
2. The only goal is getting it out of my head before I forget and turning those nuggets into data
3. Those Apple notes sync to my Mac automatically, where a scheduled Claude task runs at night
4. It reads every voice note I dumped while I sleep, no copying or pasting
5. Claude structures the mess inside my Notion for me in the morning: key ideas, action items, and suggested deep work blocks in my GCal
6. Next morning over coffee, I review and action them
The benefits are follow-ups I promised getting flagged, half-formed ideas getting structured, and deep work blocks booked automatically
Plus over time, this becomes a searchable log of every idea I've had all year
And I never touched my keyboard once :)

There's a fascinating new startup using dogs to detect cancer in human breath
In a new trial, the dogs detected it over 90% of the time!
How it works:
Dognosis has patients breathe into a cotton surgical mask, which is then frozen and shipped to their farm in India.
There, a dog works a line of 10 samples. One beagle breezed past the first five, stopped at the sixth, moved away, came back, and circled it for several seconds.
To her, the whole thing is a game, and the reward is a treat.
But the dog is only half the system. Sensors track each dog's movement, body language, and brain activity.
A probabilistic model then combines signals from multiple dogs, weighted by each dog's historical accuracy, into a single score.
In a study of over 3,000 people, that system caught 90.8% of the real cancers, and correctly cleared 91.3% of the people who didn't have any.
The catch is that this was from a case-control study, where researchers already knew who had cancer (finding rare cases hidden in a healthy population is a harder problem).
BUT a larger trial is running now across 10 Indian hospitals.
If it holds up, we might use dogs to help detect cancer in the future

I interviewed Sundar Pichai, and he made an interesting prediction for where we'll be in 3 years:
"Any content can go from any modality to any modality. It doesn't matter how the content was originally created -- people can consume it in many different forms."
"I'm very confident three years from now you will look back at what we have today and realize it was pretty primitive. It's like looking at a flip phone."
For example, YouTube clips become blogs, newsletters become podcasts without recording.
In this world, consumers would choose the format, and creators just supply the ideas, brand, and personality.
Net-net, I think this is a good thing for content.
It kills the "more content" strategy because when anyone can produce everything, volume stops being an advantage. So, the creators who win will focus on quality.
People confuse slop with AI, but they're not the same thing. Plenty of creators already use AI in their workflows and get zero hate -- people just don't realize it. Also, YouTube's new policies target slop, not AI.
If the content is good, people don't care how it was made.

Researchers just built a floating robot
It drifts through a room and communicates with movement
In demos, it worked as an alarm clock, a study buddy, a reminder to get up and move, even a dance partner
Most robots struggle to feel friendly, since human-like faces drop people into the uncanny valley
So the team from Keio University and the MIT Media Lab designed the opposite: a soft, helium-filled body with gentle flapping fins, no face, and no rotors or pinch points to hurt you
The bet is that people will welcome a robot into their personal space, a bit like a pet, as long as the hardware is built to be touched
