A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He uploads his own data and points the AI to specific sources and documents, with examples he made before to show the format he wants. The AI then builds the tables and graphics for his Education Rights Project, public pages on education rights and funding in US states, with policy briefs, slide decks and interactive widgets.
The AI called car dealerships and plumbers to collect quotes for the user and scheduled a dentist appointment, the calls and booking done in about five minutes of the user's time.
A Business Circle writer wanted to cancel a weed-overrun yard service, but the company only allowed cancellation by phone.

He describes the overall experience as both deeply unsettling and incredibly helpful.
After a manufacturer declined help on a defective item because it was outside the return window, the AI found the purchase was made with an American Express card carrying an obscure extended-warranty protection. It submitted the claim on the author's behalf and obtained the refund.

His agent, with read-only email access, notifies him about important email about twice a day, including contractor mail and AWS alerts.
The author reports the AI reduced his unread Gmail from more than 65,000 messages to about 700.
