Booked a dinner reservation for two at Osteria Lina via AI's browser

A Dexterity Solutions presenter demonstrating the AI walks through user examples including the AI booking a dinner reservation for two at Osteria Lina via browser automation. The same reel cites tweets from users William Geronco, Reezy, and Dan Lopgnow and references an Engadget article plus a live prompt database at muse.every-ai.com (1,000+ prompts).

A hacker deleted my 16 years of newsletters. The AI helped me get almost all of it back.

Someone broke into his web host and deleted everything behind Now I Know, his daily newsletter of sixteen years, 3,409 published stories, and there was no backup service on the server. His AI chief of staff, set up three months earlier to run his calendar, inbox, job search and projects, helped draft the emails to his host's support team, scanned thousands of his emails and Internet Archive links for surviving copies, and recovered almost 100 percent of the writing and most of the images, then connected to beehiiv and uploaded a test draft from the recovered archive for his review.

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

I asked Astra to order free samples to my door, and it did

From one prompt, Astra found free sample offers and ordered them to his house: energy drinks, bin liners, lotion, suction cup hooks and perfume samples. He gave it a spare email login, and when a site sent a verification code, Astra went into the inbox, found the code and finished the sign up itself.

Analyze my interview recordings and research the people interviewing me

The same job seeker (Business Insider essay, via B17 News) asked permission to record interviews, then ran the notes through AI for sentiment analysis — where she hesitated, used filler words, or where the interviewer leaned in. She also built an AI skill that takes a pasted LinkedIn profile and finds genuine similarities with her own background; one shared cheese-club membership with a recruiter carried her further than any cover letter.

The AI read his enterprise software contract and caught the two year lock-in the salesperson never mentioned

He was negotiating a contract for an enterprise SaaS product. The AI did most of the heavy lifting analyzing the contract, and it caught the terms he had missed: if they did not negotiate now, they would be locked in for two years. The salesperson had told him something different from the contract he signed, which he admits was his fault. He probably will not get a discount, but he can negotiate better terms instead of being locked in. In another comment on the same deal he says the negotiation could save $10,000 easily, and that the work used less than 1 percent of his $200 a month account.
