My agent runs my whole job hunt every morning from a vault of 21 past resumes

He fed a career vault tool 21 resumes from the last 10 years plus weekly journal entries about projects, wins and goals. Every morning the AI pulls jobs that match his profile, tailors his resume per posting from that real history, generates the PDF, and fills out the whole application, then stops and waits for his review before anything goes out. Review takes him about 30 seconds per application, against 4 to 6 minutes each when he did it with AI. The post also promotes his own paid tool, so it is marked promotional.

Download all the learning materials I bought into one folder

A developer asked his dot to download all the English learning materials he had purchased from a page and gather them in a folder. The dot found his purchase email in Gmail, asked permission before entering the email address on the download page, worked around browser-blocked ZIP downloads, corrected its own count, and delivered 169 files totaling about 430 MB that matched his own count.

Agent ran cold spray simulations and chose next runs

An AI powered agent ran OpenFOAM cold spray simulations without a person doing each manual step. It read deposit results, spotted failed runs from solver logs, and decided the next simulation, with an animation made for each run.

The AI turned my 30 year old icon library into a paid Mac app in 11 days

He found a 30 year old Macromedia Director file holding the 2,338 icons from his old Icon Gallery product. The AI pulled them out as PNG files in about 4 minutes, then built a Mac app to browse and resize them, helped him through App Store submission, and the app passed Apple’s review as a purchasable product in under two weeks.
