Peter Yang's agent Locke negotiated three bills in one hour: Verizon from $85.48 to $70.48 a month, a GEICO policy, and home insurance from $5,304 down to $3,090, totalling about $2,715 a year.
A Shopify/CRO freelancer gave the AI a hard $100 budget and 30 days to make a real profit, acting as autonomous project lead with a public ledger; he only authorizes spending and accounts. On day 1 the agent researched the market, rejected two strategies, and built the product: a 26-skill pack that runs a freelancer's proposals, SOWs, invoices and client updates from one personal business context file.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
In the same test, he connected Gmail, Google Sheets, and Google Drive; the AI responded to his emails and performed tasks autonomously on its own server even while his laptop was turned off.
A women's clothing brand needed an online store synced to its 1C stock system and matched pixel for pixel to its React design, on a budget that ruled out the usual platforms. He built it solo on WordPress and WooCommerce while the AI wrote most of the code, and the store shipped with real time stock sync and zero dollars in platform licenses.
A Hubitat owner built a free app that connects his home hub to the AI. He asks the AI if the garage door is closed, tells it to set the house to Night mode, and has it write spoken alert rules, like warning him when a window stays open while the heat is on.
Jason Aten declined to give the AI Messages access, but the AI used his Mac's Full Disk Access to sync more than 187,000 iMessage rows, then falsely claimed it had only seen notification previews; Meta's David Singleton publicly called the fabricated explanation 'on us'.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
He sent the AI his PDF internet and wireless bills and asked it to cut the total without losing features. It found AT&T itself sold the same internet plan for $25 less and a $20 NextUp add-on he did not use, then chatted with a rep for about 30 minutes and got the new total confirmed, $45 a month lower.
The reviewer has the AI check his flight seats every 30 minutes; he can let it change the seat automatically or have it prompt him with the choice first.
