Shana asked her AI 'Marigold' for gift ideas for her dad, who likes golf, capped at $250. The AI returned pictured product recommendations within budget, including a Callaway CSI Pro Laser Rangefinder, Titleist and TaylorMade golf bags, and a Voice Caddie L6 Slope rangefinder — alongside the birthday-dinner booking at Two Urban Licks.
His team runs a fuzz framework that drives a Migration Assistant with Playwright, has an LLM judge results, and files issues back into their system.
Mostly Borrowed Ideas had the AI infer his interests and holdings from email and use them to fill his AI feed. The agent built a portfolio-aware feed from Gmail.
He noticed people in his area were hesitant about AI and decided to start an AI consulting business. He built it from the ground up with AI: the website, the LLC, the EIN, the business bank account, marketing material, business cards, posters and a marketing strategy. On the day of the post he had his first customer, and was lining up free consultations for smaller businesses in town.
The AI reverse-engineered a Mac menubar app, modernized it and added Apple Silicon support in about 90 minutes.
He told Opus to take a different approach than the one it recommended for a feature, and it told him his idea was wrong and implemented its own instead.

He had it sign in to his Costco account and work out how often they buy each thing and which items they stock up on when they are on sale, so it now writes the family shopping list and sends it to his wife for edits. At Vons it signs in and loads the cart itself; he only checks out and picks a pickup time.
Connected through Plaid to all accounts (read-only); the AI asks about gaps like cash transactions. Replaced 25 years of manual monthly Excel statements.
MindStudio confirmed an AI setup that scrapes competitor websites on a schedule and delivers a formatted report every Monday covering pricing changes, launches, funding and incidents. The watchlist is frozen once in chat and the job then runs untouched.
