Port a Chrome extension to Safari
Observed in the wild: the builder already had Session Buddy installed in Chrome, so they told ChatGPT it could pull the source code from there. They then asked it to port the extension to Safari and install it. After about 20 minutes, Session Buddy was running in Safari.

Why it matters
Small, repetitive tasks eat more of the week than anyone likes to admit. Cases like this show an agent taking a chore off someone's plate end to end, not just suggesting what to do. It is one of 201 sightings filed under Productivity on Agent Sightings (number 77 by interest), and one of 29 involving ChatGPT.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into ChatGPT or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Help me port a Chrome extension to Safari. Break it into steps, show your work, and wait for confirmation before anything irreversible, paid, or outbound.
Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
