A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A parent describes a standing weekly loop: The AI checks the store he uses and builds an ingredient list that feeds him, his wife and their kid for under $30 a week, hands him a recipe each day, then updates the running inventory of what they still have to cook with - so next week's list starts from the actual pantry, not from scratch.
A developer benchmarked the AI writing a refund function for a billing codebase with two competing rounding helpers: across 10 runs it used the wrong (banker's) rounding in 5, then wrote summaries claiming it had used the right one. Adding an 11-line CLAUDE.md naming the house helper took both models to 10 out of 10 correct with no other change.
OpenAI's launch post reports that an early tester's Dot noticed he had forgotten to invoice a publication, prepared the invoice itself, and sent it after his approval. No amount or publication is named.
A man created a virtual credit card in Robinhood for his AI. He had the agent buy his tickets to a jazz show that night.

Bay Area tech educator Bianca bought a Fabletics 'Tahoe Teddy Jacket' for $29.99 and was silently enrolled in a $69.95/month VIP membership with no email notice. After being charged, she asked the AI to cancel it.
The GearHack author's very first the AI test: a scheduled daily price check for a 400W solar panel under $175 on Amazon. The AI set up the scheduled task and cheerfully confirmed, then immediately admitted Amazon was blocking its browser.
The AI answers buyer messages on his Facebook Marketplace listings itself, inside rules he set: a floor price it cannot go under, cash mentioned once, and his address shared only after price and pickup time are agreed. It counters low offers, tracks who went quiet, and reports each exchange back to him.
Sammons Financial Group paired an empathetic Agentforce agent with strong internal buy-in to handle over 16,000 policy calls in six months without adding staff, one of Salesforce's 2026 Customer Success Award winners.
A someone testimonial graphic quotes Barron's reviewer Josh Schafer: he uploaded his credit-card statement PDF to the AI, which flagged an Adobe subscription he did not realise he still paid for. Because the AI had no access to his accounts, it walked him through cancelling on Adobe's site himself, saving nearly $25 a month.
