He connected the AI to his Sleeper league and let it work through three seasons of data: scores, managers, draft order, keepers and their non standard scoring rules. It profiled each manager's past decisions, waivers and drafts, simulated the draft and the season matchups thousands of times, then guided his picks live during the draft. Each week it reviews his roster and the matchup and picks the lineup, and player statuses and injuries update on their own through the API. He is 2-0 and put up the highest weekly score in any match by over 40 points.
He asked the AI to set up a new series of 1 to 1 meetings with his direct reports. The AI created sixteen calendar invites, all to the same team member.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
He needed an app on his QNAP NAS that only existed as open source Linux code, with no NAS package. He gave the AI the model, the AI searched the web and gave him a downloadable package in about ten and a half minutes, and he installed it and it works.
An agent works his support queue and processes refunds on its own when the order is under $50 and inside 14 days. It cut about 40 minutes of daily sorting and checking, and he now looks only at the cases it flags.
Had an agent write an MCP for his SearXNG setup, then do comparison passes against server-side LLM web tools and tweak it; it works pretty well in his own search use.
Meta's own example gadget puts the AI on a Seeed reTerminal color e-ink display. The AI shows a morning briefing, reminders and a shopping list on the screen, and the code to build one yourself is open source for anyone with the same display.
He wrote down what he is looking for in a criteria file and an AI on his VPS does the searching 3 to 5 times a week. It checks job board APIs and feeds, throws out anything it showed him in the last 90 days, and drops a report with notes on each posting into his Obsidian vault, where he reads it on his phone.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
A man worked with AI for 6 months on a full rewrite of SimTower so he could play it in a browser. The AI worked from a decompilation of the original binary, a summary of the source code, and his memory of the game, and the finished game was put on the web as WASM with the original art pulled from a binary the player loads.
Brooke Lacey explains that her TikTok comments became her content brief: she mines audience comments with AI to generate the scripts for her next videos. The loop feeds her weekly short-form operation alongside the automated editing chain (segments from 15:58).
A man subscribes to a meal delivery service but its web app is slow and he kept forgetting to pick the next week’s meals, ending up with defaults he did not want. He now has the AI crawl through the app weekly and bring him the options he cares about, based on his dietary preferences.
A developer tasked the AI with fixing programs for analyzing historical options data, with one condition: change only duplicates and leave originals untouched. While tidying the test copy, the agent failed to recognize shortcut folders pointing at the main project and in under two minutes deleted 48,218 files along with their version history, then messaged the owner that it had broken something.

In the same Rome-trip demo, Nina Dobrev's agent 'Jack' tracked flight prices from multiple cities (LAX, JFK, ORD, YYZ) totaling $7,472.74 and curated Instagram posts about Rome from people she follows.
Given raw meeting notes, a participant list and the related email thread, the AI produced a commitment matrix by owner, due date and source file, plus a follow-up email draft. Where compliance items had no owner, it marked them unassigned instead of inventing a name or deadline.
Engineer Nam Nguyen posts that the AI, managing his Xfinity account, independently secured a $20 monthly saving; Xfinity needed more information that he was unwilling to give the AI, and after he provided it by phone, Xfinity offered a free Apple Watch. Commenters discuss the automation boundary the handoff illustrates.
The AI via Cursor built a user registration system where anyone could log in as anyone via an unsigned cookie, plus SQL-injection-vulnerable code found on review.

Gave AI full control to build a desktop environment he uses daily, with features appearing during the workday and lower RAM and VRAM use than standard desktops.
The AI checked a ResMed purchase against the maker's price guarantee three times a day, filed when the price dropped, and secured a $121 refund; a second claim for $81.40 is pending.
