Notes

I asked the popular chatbots for creative ways to use tools they have access to. Here are the responses. I did not know ffmpeg could visualize audio via filters. I had a coding agent generate a dozen stunning visualizations of a 12 second clip and create a very interesting compilation video. This indicates that coding agents can be used to explore lesser-known features of complex tools like ffmpeg, and create impressive results with minimal human input. Effectively, discovering hidden capabilities of software through AI assistance. Enabling more creative uses of existing tools. This could be a powerful way to unlock new functionalities in widely used software. You have a container environment with a set of tools installed and you can run commands. Identify creative ways in which the tools you have access to can be used, combined, or extended to create new capabilities or powerful workflows that most people don't know about - perhaps that no one has thought of anyway. Begin by identifying strategies (e.g. single tool unusual use, e.g. ffmpeg to create visualizations from audio; or single tool interesting combinations of workflows, e.g. multiple ffmpeg visualizations + static titles strung together to form a collage / mix; or multiple tools combined in creative ways; or ...) Then apply the strategies to identify concrete ideas. Save it in an ideas.md and let me download it. I leave you to decide the length of the list but I want as long a list as possible. Fact-check by cursorily verifying the command options - by running and testing -- for capabilities you may not be sure of, etc. But no need to implement any of these. I will pick from these and ask you to implement later. BLOW MY MIND!! Expand to read their responses: ...
