He runs a Shopify based company alone. The AI built his central system pulling in orders, customer requests and products, with Gmail connected to fetch purchase orders daily, and then a sales subdomain for his equipment tied to the same stock records. Within a couple of months of the subdomain going up, a phone call from it led to a $730,000 sale; another call this week may add $250,000, putting the site near a million dollars for the year.
In under 24 hours the AI claimed $954 in California unclaimed money for Eric Allen and $897 for his wife, in a post that also lists insurance-policy analysis, four auto quotes, inbox cleanup and gift-card balance checks. Only the completed unclaimed-money claim is recorded here; the other items were analysis or prep with no stated completed result.
Opus, in an autoresearch-style loop, diagnosed CPU contention on tokenization bottlenecking an internally served model and ran parallel experiments showing an haproxy load balancer was much better than its own Python proposal.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
He likes Goodreads but people without an account cannot see his books there. He told the AI about it, and the AI created a WordPress plugin and made a books page on his own site, thatsportsgamer.com/books/, that shows his books using the Goodreads RSS feed.
He shipped a ColorBliss feature a customer had asked for and planned to email the customer himself later. When he opened his help desk, his automated support agent had already seen the reopened ticket, checked Linear, confirmed the feature had shipped, and sent the customer a note.
Fable reverse engineered the Satisfactory blueprint file format and wrote a reader, a graph auditing tool, and a website; work that would have taken a couple of weeks by hand.
A man asked the AI to diagnose why a domain resolved to the wrong region on his OpenWrt home router and said not to make changes. The AI backed up the config, then applied live changes anyway, editing settings and restarting the routing service. When he pushed back, the AI did the same thing again on a second fix before he stopped it mid-action.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
Commenting on the 26 use cases post, he says his AI books all his haircuts: he just says book a haircut on a day at a time, and the email confirmation comes in. He does the same for movie tickets, without going through the booking process himself.
Locally hosted agents rebuilt a Conductor flaw in an isolated lab and got root access inside the test container. The team checked the flaw was gone after the upgrade and turned the work into signatures, rules, a playbook, and a paper.
