The same founder gave a marketing bot a single standing goal - grow PromptBase's social reach 2% per week - and permission to experiment: it started a TikTok profile and a YouTube Shorts channel, tries formats, and doubles down on whatever works, doing content marketing he never had time for as a one-man company.
A hobbyist has the AI or the AI write ForgeCAD code that creates 3D models he prints. A ring to hold the bag in his compost bin went from a multi week project, learning Fusion 360 in spare hours, to a good prototype in 60 minutes, and a cover for his overheating doorbell took a photo of the doorbell, dimensions from the maker’s site and 3 or 4 prints to get right.
Three days into AI Duet, the time saved came from it acting first. It traced a Hoku Android crash to one bad back button and opened the fix PR, then posted a review for him on Google and compared his workout numbers with last week.
Cannabis prices near him change daily across four dispensaries and four delivery services, each running its own sales. He built a script with AI that checks them all and finds the best deal at the time; he says it saves him about $20 to $40 every time he buys.
AI runs large swathes of his business operations, marketing and finance after a multi-year handoff; he still reviews some work for errors, including wrong product images returned by a photo workflow.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
He built a meal planning setup for his family around their tastes, his dietary needs and two picky kids. Once a month he counts the freezer, including the random leftovers from bulk meat buys, and the plan works like a factory parts list so shopping quantities come out right. The family wastes much less food, dinner is always ready to be made, and eating out because there is nothing at home has mostly stopped; he still shops by hand because his supermarket has no public way for a tool to fill a cart.
Independent musician someone lists three career assists from the someone agent: an automatic playlist pitcher that researched genre-matched Spotify playlists and sent cold emails resulting in a placement, an EPK refresh that auto-checked streaming stats and compiled clickable social links, and data-driven venue pitching across new cities. No compensation from Meta disclosed; referral code IH600W shared.
He built an enterprise SaaS for a niche industry. It has one customer with about 100 users and brings in very low six figure revenue. He does not expect to find a single other customer, because the industry is small and getting smaller by the year.
The same AI setup watches a man's work train travel and sends him updates on delays and platform changes. When his train is delayed, it applies for the delay compensation by itself, with no claim form work from him.
