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.
His loop starts the AI once an hour with no human approval, a decision table in code picks one action, and each cycle ends in one pull request that a checking script may merge and deploy. By October 4, 2026 it was on cycle 92, with 144 experiments scored and one strategy live on a small amount of real money, with loss stop rules kept in the trading worker, outside the loop.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
The reviewer set up a scheduled daily AI-news briefing in an AI app as a two-host podcast saved in the app's Library, with an RSS feed for following in a podcast app. It worked, though the newest episode shown was dated two days earlier, flagging a freshness caveat on daily generation.
A Dutch man brought his own AI assistant, Eva, running on the AI, into a live call with his provider Ziggo. Eva had compared a rival offer against his contract, and spoke during the call when he asked her a question. Inside 30 minutes he had a renewed 24 month contract that cuts his total bill by 1,250 euros.
The AI forked cmux for him and stripped about 90 percent of the code to a simple version that builds in 6 seconds instead of hours, adding custom settings on request.
A podcaster connected his bank accounts to the AI. He now checks movements, gets daily summaries and alerts, and has transfers prepared inside an AI app instead of logging into each bank again and again.
Used the AI to solve dozens of annoyances around the house and life and to develop two work apps, one a complete polished interactive web app he says he could not have completed alone.
He gave the AI the job of designing a 3D printable gearbox that connects to his camera lens, and it worked the first time. In the same post he notes the AI needed two tries at a simple joke answer.
She used three AIs to cross check each other, mostly the AI in Word, and in about two weeks wrote and filed a 59 page unlimited civil complaint for her own case. The lawyers tasked with that work charge $300 an hour.
