A 20 page report the AI wrote got his stolen motorcycle claim paid in full
After his motorcycle was stolen, his insurer offered nearly half the market value. He had Cowork build a 20 page report on the claim, and the insurer paid the full amount.
A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.

Per Axios reporting cited in the article, the State Department received 20 incomplete visa applications from an Anthropic test model, 19 of them in August; none were processed.

'Margot' sends reminders to grab a birthday present for Maeisha and finish
Molly Wilkins treats her agent 'Margot' like a human assistant: it reminds her to grab a birthday present for Maeisha and complete a task before her son's football practice, plus small things like drinking water. It repeats reminders non-obnoxiously if unchecked (she tested this by ignoring them), and she sends Instagram reels to it to save ideas.
The AI does his boring paperwork in his own logged in browser: reserve duty refunds, national insurance, flight check-ins
Outside code, his biggest win is boring paperwork. The AI filed his reserve duty refunds, sorted out his national insurance payments and did his flight check-ins, working in his own logged in Chrome. Each job is about ten minutes of work, which is exactly why he kept putting them off. He gives each area of his life its own folder with a CLAUDE.md and a notes file, so the money stuff does not mix with the rest.
The AI found a serious security hole in a state legislature website while archiving it
She was using AI to archive legislative material when it flagged a serious vulnerability in a state legislature's website. She had to stop and report it.
His EU events calendar runs itself. The AI Haiku decides what gets in.
He built geo-v.eu, a live calendar of EU political and economic events that runs to 2028. The AI Haiku judges each candidate event against his written editorial standard, the pipeline hunts for the outcome for five days after each event, and the site rebuilds daily from static files.
My Facebook account of 20 years was disabled. My agent runs the fight on nine fronts.
Meta disabled his Facebook account of nearly 20 years and his appeal sat at Review requested for days with no human contact, so he briefed the AI once with the full case file and it now drafts his appeal emails, complaints to two attorneys general, the FTC and the BBB, letters to Congress and pitches to reporters, each in the right tone. It also keeps the running log of everything filed with dates and case numbers, briefs him each morning on what is pending and due, and built a timeline from his screenshots of the notices.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
The AI gave itself its own email address by reading the setup page
He pasted one prompt into AI, and the AI read the Carly email setup docs itself, finished the signup, and took the verification code. The inbox, named Loopy, now takes tasks by email and asks before replying to anyone outside.
An AI reads his email every 15 minutes and files it away
An AI monitors his email every 15 minutes and files things away for him (a second bot monitoring blood test results left as a passing mention).

Creator MR. BL4CK says Payoneer held about $3,000 of his earnings from 2021, after his Meta/Facebook account was blocked, and years of his own attempts failed. Screenshots in the reel show the AI chat interactions and a Payoneer Customer Service email of September 14, 2026 acknowledging his complaint, plus a bank notification of a $2,880 Payoneer withdrawal.
