Surface the interesting comments on my posts every morning

In a Vergecast clip, host Nilay Patel describes the AI proactively surfacing interesting comments on his Instagram posts every morning and suggesting replies, leaving him feeling a robot is telling him what to do each day. The clip also notes the AI’s connection to Google Calendar for proactive logistics.

Jobsite QR codes let any worker ask the specs, and an agent audits submittals for the PMs

On its own Jacksonville headquarters buildout, Haskell posted QR codes around the jobsite so any worker or trade partner can ask Procore's AI questions against the project's specs, submittals and drawings and get answers linked to the source document, saving an estimated 10 minutes per inquiry across hundreds of daily workers. Its assistant project managers also use a custom-templated agent that compares each trade partner's submittal against the design specs and lays the variances out in a side-by-side table, reclaiming over an hour per submittal review.

Generated a full Jeep-restoration video production plan from a pasted Instagram link,

A Hindi-language screen-recorded tutorial (170K followers) showed the AI’s 'Today' panel with tasks like 'Build Jeep demo video' and 'Create EX demo video.' The speaker pasted an Instagram link into chat and the AI produced a detailed production plan for a Jeep restoration video — rust removal, sanding, olive-green airbrush, chrome detailing, turntable reveal — plus optimal posting time (7-9 PM IST), title length guidance, and hashtags like #RustyJeep. The framing: copy any video link, paste into Mu

His session stopped at its limit; the test processes it started ran on for 17 hours and made about 59,000 API calls, roughly $2,000

An AI session started verification tests as background processes. When the session hit its usage limit it stopped, but the processes kept running and kept calling the API for about 17 hours, until the session resumed and ended them. Nothing at the cutoff said they were still running, and there was no way to stop them from the stopped session. The test loop had no cap on turns or calls. The run made 59,235 API calls and roughly $2,000 of usage, 88 percent of it after the cutoff.

The AI Pro helped me find the right legal references for a lawyer

A legal librarian at a law firm had to check ten references for a Belgian lawyer working on warranty of liabilities cases. Three references had errors, one of them serious, and the AI Pro with skills and Google AI Overviews found the right reference in a badly protected PDF on revue-banque.fr where another tool pointed to the wrong one, and one more error was fixed using the next year's index of decisions.

Prepare me for my call — from the right email thread, unprompted

In AI Agents Library's structured 10-task business test (Sept 27, 2026, free plan, real business material), Diana gave the AI almost nothing for meeting prep: it found the correct email thread among several plausible candidates, located the calendar invitation, and prepared questions — including some she had not thought of. The task scored 10/10, the best result of the test day.
