A text and voice agent worked a realtor's 60,000 old leads and turned up 34 closed deals
A Canadian realtor had over 60,000 old leads sitting in his CRM, some from 2017. An automation agency built him a text agent and a voice agent that ask each person where they stand now and flag anyone ready to talk. Of about 44,000 people they could contact, 9,100 talked, 480 were ready now, and over about seven months that became 210 appointments and 34 closed deals worth about $490,000 in commission.

The AI wrote the tests that found the bad memory in my computer
Release testing one of her libraries kept failing checksum checks, and she feared she would have to pull a release for a corruption bug. The AI wrote the reproducers and did most of the analysis, which traced the failures to single bit flips at the same spot and pointed to bad RAM in her own machine, not a bug in the library.
The AI screens new science papers against my own green and red flag lists
She scans new papers as a science journalist. Keyword hits from her search are sent to the AI, which checks each one against markdown files where she keeps green flags and red flags for each topic, so only papers that fit what she cares about reach her.
