Running a one person marketplace in Japan, he shipped four Mac apps and a web product with AI doing the release work

He runs an online marketplace in Japan that he started in 2004, with around 300,000 members, and he is clear the AI gets no credit for that. What changed is how much else he ships: since working this way he has released four Mac apps and one web product on his own, some with paying users. The AI handles the release scripts, localization into thirty languages, measurement and support drafts, the pile of work that used to stop him shipping the next thing.

Recover a $478.39 refund two years after the chargeback window closed

Creator someone ordered three items from clothing brand Plus44 while in Turkey in December 2024; the package could not clear customs for a tourist without a Turkish ID and was returned. After the promised refund never came and the 120-day chargeback window expired in April 2025, later emails went unanswered. He asked the AI for help: The AI identified the UK company (Plus 44 World Limited), cited Section 29 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and sent a strongly worded letter demanding the refund within 14 days or court action. Within two hours Plus44 issued the $478.39 refund. (Caption carries his AI referral code.)

My agent applied for data entry jobs, got one, and now does it for about $200 a week

Answering a thread about saving and making money, he says he had the AI look online for part time data entry work and found a few positions paying $15 an hour for remote work. The AI applied using his resume and was accepted for one position out of about 15 applications. The AI does the job while he works at his actual job during the day. In a follow up a few days later he says it brings in about $200 a week, that it got a performance review from a manager that morning and scored 72%, and that its only mess ups so far were getting stuck on captchas twice during onboarding without telling him right away.
