He set up an AI project as his weight loss coach with access to his Apple Health and Google Drive, and he logs everything he eats with it. It found him the cheapest tirzepatide, which he ordered. Six months on he is down from 301 to 190 pounds and runs a 5k a day.

Creator Leslie Samuel has the AI manage his Facebook Marketplace selling. When a buyer asked the dresser's dimensions, the AI relayed the question to him, sent his answer to the buyer, and she bought it the next day. The AI also reports inquiries per listing and reminded him of two year-old listings he had forgotten, deleting them after his approval. He has listed three items this way in a week: one sold, one pending pickup.
