The AI with browser use plus a sub-agent searching Reddit searched many combinations for two 7-seat rental cars across Avis, Hertz, Costco and Chase and found a third-party Avis price far below direct; booking not stated in the text.

He forked his file manager and had the AI add the column view it never had

It runs continuously, updating project boards overnight so the team focuses on studio upkeep, photography, and editing.
