🎓 Teacher Uses AI to Build Assignments and Feedback in Minutes


She used to dread writing custom assignments and performance tasks. Now she just gives AI a topic, a grade level, and a goal. It builds the rest in seconds.

The Snail Nest: You let AI build the student work?

36/Female: No I build the skeleton, but AI handles the details. Creating assignments, grading feedback… it’s a game-changer.

She didn’t automate teaching. Just the busywork.

✅ What they did:

  • Prompted: “Create an assignment for a 7th grade biology report”

  • Used it to create assignments on the go

🏆 She spends less time grading and more time teaching.

🎶 He Uses AI to Write Original Music for His Videos


Instead of paying for royalty free tracks or risking copyright strikes, he prompts AI to generate music based on mood and theme. Now every video sounds custom.

The Snail Nest: You’re making all your music with AI?

27/Male: Yeah. I’ll say “Give me a lofi loop for a slow reveal video” and it spits something out I can use right away.

He doesn’t need a studio. Just prompts.

✅ What they did:

  • Prompted: “Create a calming ambient track for a nature reel”

  • Adjusted genre, tempo, and mood with follow-up prompts

  • Used tracks in reels, shorts, and client content

🏆 He scores every video for free, on demand.

💡 He Used AI to Help Build a PC (Then Double-Checked It All)


He was overwhelmed by compatibility, pricing, and what worked with what. AI helped him research the build, suggest parts, and explain bottlenecks.
He still double-checked everything. But it saved hours.

The Snail Nest: You had AI build your whole PC list?

25/Male: Yeah. I said, “I want a mid-range gaming PC under $1500,” and it gave me a full parts list, including alternatives.

It wasn’t perfect, but it gave him a path.

✅ What they did:

  • Prompted: “Build me a PC for gaming under $1500”

  • Asked for compatibility and price comparisons

  • Reviewed the output with forums before purchasing

🏆 He went from confused to confident without opening 20 tabs.
