A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
The AI found all my invoices and sent them to my accountant
He got the AI to hunt down all his various invoices and forward them to his accountant. It took a pile of dull admin off his plate.
It watches for kids workshop registration to open and books a spot on its own
From a list of jobs his AI runs day to day: it watches when registration opens for their kids workshops and books a spot automatically when it does. Workshop places go fast, and he treats this as one of the ongoing jobs, not a one off question, that the agent quietly handles for the family.
The AI made his animation and voiced it by working around the container limits

The AI uploaded my last 390 images for me

The AI dug through public Medicare data and flagged billing patterns that look like fraud
A small research outfit pointed the AI at the public 2024 Medicare provider files. It flagged one wound dressing code whose national billing jumped from about $23 million a year to $650 million in 2024, with one Florida supplier taking 62 percent of it, and a pattern of hundreds of family doctors each ordering ostomy supplies for about 175 patients across 40 states while only 15 colorectal surgeons appear in the same data. Some flagged companies have already been caught; others with the same shape are still billing, per the July 2026 enrolment file.
The AI got a 30-year-old game running headless and playtested it in parallel
