Let the AI run my Facebook page for 60 days with seven prompts
A creator ran his Facebook page on a seven-prompt the AI system for 60 days: The AI mined his top 10 past posts for a repeatable formula, planned 30 days of content, drafted each post three ways, and rescued weak posts every Sunday. He reports 56.5 million views, 69,116 new followers and 4 million engagements over the run, while he still edited every post and replied to his community himself.
The AI moved my hosting. The AI broke the project first.
He used AI to move his hosting service. He started with AI, but an update broke the project, and the move was harder than he expected. With the AI's help he got through it, with a little left to finish.
Re-screen the same hiring pool against an outcomes scorecard — and hire
After the cancellation mess, Curtis wrote a one-page scorecard for the role (mission, five measurable first-year outcomes, six competencies), pasted it into the prompt and had the AI map each candidate's track record to each outcome with evidence from the résumé. With a human making every cut and applications closed before booking, the process ended in a Director of Ecommerce hire who has already optimized the company's Amazon listings and helped launch a product — and a declined candidate was later hired as a TikTok consultant.
He set performance targets, went to bed, and woke to a fast file manager
Gave the AI and the AI performance targets for a port of Dos Navigator, went to bed, and woke up to a fast Swift file manager he now enjoys using, especially for image previews.
Mixbook's AI picked the best of my 400 photos and laid out a finished book in 15 minutes
A traveller had about 400 photos from a trip and did not want to spend a weekend sorting them into a photo book. Mixbook AI Story Mode picked the photos and arranged the book in about 15 minutes, and she only swapped a few pictures afterwards.
He routed a circuit board clean after an earlier model left 17 short circuits
An engineer describes his board workflow: models review the design and write tooling, a script ranks net pairs by short risk, a deterministic router does the routing, and every attempt is simulated before anything is fabricated. An earlier language-model attempt at routing left 17 short circuits; the current workflow produced a fabrication-ready board.
Researched a used Canon T3i camera bundle's resale value (eBay comps $220-$225)
A Moneywise journalist tested the AI on selling her old Canon T3i, lenses, mic, backpack, and GoPro gear after a local camera shop offered just $20 for the lot. The AI found exact-match eBay sold comps ($220-$225), located a Foto Care cash-buy event in NYC, and wrote a negotiation brief with opening, target, and walk-away prices to counter lowball offers.
The AI reads my school email and flags only what is about my kids
He set up an AI routine that reads all his school email and archives anything that is not about his kids. Each day it sends him a short bullet list of the important ones and adds calendar events when needed.
Laid off on Tuesday. The AI shipped my game by breakfast on Wednesday.
His role was cut on Tuesday morning, 22 September. That evening he asked the AI for something fun, gave it one standing instruction to go forward and only pause when his input was needed, and by 6:37 the next morning a three stage beat em up about the job hunt was live on the internet, with his real CV linked from the end card.
