A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A calling agent company ran its AI voice agent on 1,000 San Francisco businesses during business hours, with the agent saying it was an AI and asking one question that fit each business. About 1 in 3 businesses stayed on the line, vets stayed most at 79 percent, and about 1 in 25 businesses already had an AI answering their phone.
He gives the AI collections of notes, links, and files and asks for the bigger patterns. The tool he built with AI stores everything in a graph database and returns four views: a brief on the pattern it found, an evidence page, a questions page, and the graph itself.
Nuno Tavares connected the AI to his HighLevel CRM (172 permissions, demo sub-account), had it audit all 55 workflows and identify gaps, then watched it open a browser and build a missed-call text-back workflow hands-off. The build landed as a draft: missed-call trigger, tag and wait step.
He set up an AI for his WP Beacon project to check WordPress plugins every day. After two weeks of daily checks it pinged him about malware in the InstaWP Connect plugin, and wordpress.org closed the listing that afternoon and restored it the next morning.
Diana at AI Agents Library gave the AI 500 loose files from her real business desktop. It proposed a folder plan first, she approved it, and it filed 490 where she wanted them, held 10 back for review instead of guessing, and caught all 48 exact duplicates and all 34 renamed ones.
A contractor onboarded Instinct through a WhatsApp chat that simply asked what he had been putting off; it now prepares his contracting invoices and drafts his outgoing emails - the two admin jobs that used to pile up behind the actual work.
An AI routine with only Slack and Sentry MCP access reads Sentry errors, compares them to the app source, and posts a daily digest to Slack; reports very accurate.
Andrew Connell moved 426 pages, 281 course pages, 217 videos and 8,911 comments back to his own site after closing his Voitanos business, with every old URL answering with a single 301. The AI did most of the work over six months in his personal time, and his site went from about 5 percent of the organic search share to close to 90 percent in two months.
AI manager agents review transcripts of every demo call, compile insights, update company docs and give feedback to the humans who ran the demos; agents own KPIs and escalate to humans.
Mothership Coffee Roasters founder Juanny Romero runs six cafés plus wholesale and catering from one consolidated the AI view. Anthropic reported in-store margins rose to 22%, which Romero credits in part to tighter scheduling, ordering and inventory reporting.
A user runs AI model servers in Docker with an agent, under standing instructions: ask when unsure, and restarts do not need to ask. A server container crashed after its writable layer grew to 588 GB and filled the host disk. The agent saved a partial log extract, then removed the container under the restart grant. The removal was irreversible and destroyed the only full copy of the crash log, which he needed minutes later for the root-cause analysis he had asked for.
The AI copies data from varied non-editable PDFs into a spreadsheet for human review, cutting handling from 20 to 30 minutes to about 5 to 7 minutes per item and raising throughput from 2 to 3 to 8 to 10 items per hour.
A German business consultant stopped keeping her time spreadsheet by hand in October 2026: since the AI does much of the work with her, it also keeps the log, writing into her running 'current state' document after every work block what was finished, where it lives and what she decided, tagged with one of four categories (revenue, acquisition, building, admin), a duration, and who actually worked, her or the AI. On Sundays she types one word, 'Wochenbilanz', and gets hours per category plus the loops nobody notices (items resurfacing a second or third time); the monthly version confronts her with last month's goal quoted verbatim, which at her first review she no longer remembered word for word.
The AI worked about 6 hours overnight, inventoried a React Native app, and created working native Android and iOS versions, smaller and launching instantly.
Opus 5.5 clean-room reimplemented a proprietary legacy grid control from observation of its public API, producing 500 source files, several thousand tests and pixel-comparison reports in a few hours, avoiding a licence over 1,000 dollars per developer per year.
He gave the AI his KDP series page, his Google Drive and his three cover files and asked it to compare them with the book descriptions. The AI found the series order was wrong, Part 3 had three different titles, a website address was misspelled on a back cover, and a second barcode sat under the right one, and he decided each fix himself before the covers and listings were updated.
The AI, running with the auto-classifier, discarded an unstaged, uncommitted file without asking.
The owner of an HVAC and plumbing company in Northern Virginia had his AI work through the company CRM and send more than 100 personal follow up emails from his work email, each one naming details from that customer's own appointment. Replies came in the same day. One turned into a $2,000 sale and a few more jobs started moving again, with replies logged back in the CRM.
The AI figured out his TLS negotiation truncation bug from code and trialling TLS handshakes, including a post-quantum algo ID collision.
Gave the AI kubectl access and it chased down a sneaky shutdown performance bug in 10 minutes, producing a spot-on diagnosis sent to developers.
