A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
The author set the AI on finding the cheapest Broncos Sunday Night Football tickets with seat parameters; it scoured Ticketmaster and resale sites, then kept monitoring pricing every four hours for days. Once the desired tickets appeared, the author completed the purchase himself.
Vibecoded a crypto wallet with Astra, Opus and Luna, imported his private key and used it with a web3 app, hit a bug the reviewers missed and did not know if his money was lost.
A 37-year-old who suspected his big-firm advisor treated his roughly $800,000 portfolio as an afterthought uploaded his statements, gain/loss and trade history to the AI. The audit found two years of S&P underperformance - and the real problem: when he asked the firm to extend a successful Roth IRA strategy to his taxable individual account, they copied the exact same asset ratios across, so dividend-heavy holdings now throw off ordinary-income tax every year, a non-issue inside the Roth. Confronted, the advisor called it a known model limitation. He is firing the firm.
Agent-built tooling sifted tens of thousands of real estate listings and surfaced the handful that were mispriced, behind two successful property flips.
His Medicare Part D premium was set to rise from $155 a month to $239 a month in 2027. He gave the AI his medication list, and it found an equivalent plan at $13.30 a month.
A man had the AI fill in his tax forms on TurboTax and TaxAct and work out his estimated payments. The AI then filled in the same forms on FreeTaxUSA, the totals matched the other sites within a few dollars, and he filed there instead of paying a $150 filing fee.
The Verge's Emma Roth linked her Amazon account and asked the AI to pick workout tops by size, style and color. Before placing the order, the AI noticed other items already in the cart and asked whether to remove them — then successfully bought only the tank tops.
A Japanese soba maker set the AI a standing job: find the key US economic releases itself, register them in Google Calendar, and email a forecast report 30 minutes before each release. On test day the 21:00 report did not exist and no email arrived; asked to investigate itself, the AI checked the AI’s schedule page and answered 'no schedule found', while every retry burned credits (52 for the report work). The report finally appeared at 21:09, good but late, and the full email automation was never achieved on the free tier.
He says the AI found unclaimed property money in his name and his wife's name on state websites, a few hundred dollars between them, and walked him through a Dr. Squatch class action claim step by step.
Colombian consultant Darío Palacio Isaza sent his Instinct agent to find a product with exact specs across online stores. Mercado Libre's security check blocked the agent repeatedly, so the purchase went to Éxito.com, a store he had never used, because its product page was machine-readable.
