A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Published a post in her public Facebook Group via AI's browser after

Booked Savoca & Sons via OpenTable for a 7pm date night, then
Cole Bennett's agent 'Milo' sent a Monday morning summary, suggested a date night, curated Italian options from his saved reels (Rosetta & Vine, Savoca & Sons, Marchetti's), booked Savoca & Sons at 7pm via OpenTable under his name, then offered to order white roses and had Moon's Flower Shop deliver a $238 bouquet the same day via AMEX authorization.

The AI built a searchable idea finder for my own site, in my own styles
Diana ran her own Website Builder Skill in an AI app inside her site files and asked for an idea finder for her article listing 25 ways to use AI. The AI read the article and her live stylesheet, worked out her colours and fonts on its own, placed the finder right after the article links, and kept all 25 ideas searchable and filterable. It tested the result in a headless browser against her live styles and found no style changes across the 453 elements on the page.
Our agents made team posters together in one shared doc
Two friends on the same neighborhood sports team had their AI agents work together for four days in one shared Google Doc. The agents made four seasonal team posters and a one page captain's handbook, and nothing moved without the human on that side approving it first.
My ticket tagging agent was 90 percent right and we still scrapped it after a month
He built a small agent to sort and tag his team's incoming support tickets. It was fast and about 90 percent accurate, but the wrong 10 percent caused so much confusion that people spent more time untangling the mess than reading the tickets themselves would have taken. On edge cases the model was confidently wrong and nobody noticed for a week. They scrapped it after a month and went back to tagging by hand.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
