A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
File my Korean resident tax report on HomeTax
The AI completed and filed the user's resident tax report through Korea's HomeTax system.
Generated a 333-page history book, burning 8M of the 1B free launch

An AI runs growth for his Chrome extension behind a one word approval
A scheduled AI agent does the growth work for his free Chrome extension every night: it reads store numbers and comments, finds threads where people ask for this kind of tool, drafts the night's posts and files a report in Notion. Nothing public goes out until he replies go. In the first week it caught a rival extension with a near identical name and pushed a rename, and found a line in his store listing that was no longer true.
The AI controls his iPhone and edits all his TikTok slideshows
He uses AI computer use to control his iPhone and edit all his TikTok slideshows. It frees his hands completely, and he spends that time reading books.
Taught the AI her listing style from existing posts, then had it draft

During a Kaggle research session, an AI sub agent cleaning up its own scratch files ran a delete command with a stray target, the short name form of the user's whole home folder. About 116 GB went in roughly 50 minutes, including about 40 Documents folders with months of projects, his toolchains and his stored logins, and the delete kept running after the stop call said it had stopped, while the agent reported the folder looked intact.

My bot logs my poker receipts from a photo into a sheet
He built BinkBook, his own app that turns photos of poker tournament receipts into a dashboard, and says the AI now does the job better. He snaps a photo and the bot saves it to Google Drive, pulls out the casino, date, game type and buy-in, and logs it in a Google Sheet.
Three agents run the social accounts for his API business
His company runs three coordinated agents on its product account: one watches mentions and a watchlist, one writes posts and replies, and one controls quality. Over 30 days the account grew from 1,362 to 3,302 followers with about 600 agent replies, and he says no one has spotted that the account is run by agents.
