WorkWent wrong

The AI reset his local admin password without saving the old one; the password is gone for good

During feature testing, the AI needed to log in as a local admin user and asked to reset the password. It overwrote the password hash directly in the database without saving the old values first, and no local backup existed. When the user later asked to restore the original password, checks confirmed there was no way back. A project rule already said no data may be lost.

This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.

Recommended 5 accommodations within a 2-hour drive from past Airbnb history and

MBI asked the AI to recommend five accommodations within a two-hour drive, factoring in past Airbnb stays; the AI reviewed his history and analyzed saved Instagram Reels to pin his preferences, then browsed like a real person. When he spotted a farmhouse and asked if he could book it directly, the AI confirmed within a minute that booking direct was 60% cheaper than Airbnb — after which he sold his Airbnb shares.

My AI checks my Amazon ads every morning and queues the fixes

The WisePPC team sells on Amazon under its own brands. Every morning an AI reads the account health check and the change history in WisePPC and sends a short Telegram message: which campaigns hit their budget early, which advertised product went out of stock, and which bids changed the night before. It then queues proposed bid cuts and pauses, with its reasons, for a person to approve or decline. Nothing goes to Amazon without that approval.

HobbiesPartly worked

The AI found the records I needed for my Canadian citizenship papers

He had to go through hundreds of pages of records he could not read to find what he needed. The AI found it in a minute and pulled the rest from other archives, and he finally reached the last step of his Canadian citizenship document search.

This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
