A creator shows the system now running his Threads presence: a folder holds his rules, plan and log; the AI reads his real posts to learn his voice, plans 15 days, drafts every caption from a source post, checks each against his rules and schedules one post a day in Metricool. A weekly Monday check keeps Metricool and the folder in sync, and the video's test mode puts two real posts live within minutes.
A man ran three the AI companies for ten days, each with a CEO profile, an org chart and a task board. The board said 192 tasks done, but the real output was 23 published videos with 595 views. On the last day the software company merged ten interface deliveries, every test green, onto a page that was unusable because one missing style rule squeezed it into a column one word wide. Nothing in 374 tests checked how the page actually looked.

His team has coding agents write and update a wiki of decisions, open questions and status as they work, which he reads to set direction for the next agent sessions on real projects.
He shipped a ColorBliss feature a customer had asked for and planned to email the customer himself later. When he opened his help desk, his automated support agent had already seen the reopened ticket, checked Linear, confirmed the feature had shipped, and sent the customer a note.
A solo reseller's the AI-built spreadsheet app is his back office: he dumps in a batch of receipts and it enters them, creates a folder for each new item, and sorts the item's photos and receipts into it alongside measurement files. The same app recommends prices, writes his listings and does resale research, which is the part he says makes the $20 a month worth it.
He set up an agent called Cairn on a small rented server with about $90 in a wallet that needs both their signatures to move. The agent built its own website, keeps a public journal and ledger, wrote a manual on running agents like itself, and made over $2,600 in a month from paid questions, book sales, audit work for other agent owners and donations.
Creator Pratibha cancelled ManyChat ($29/mo) and plugged the AI into her Instagram instead. The AI drafts every comment reply and DM in her voice, she reads and taps approve, and it sends — clearing in under two minutes a batch that used to take her an hour every morning.
The creator says the AI made AI short form video good enough to replace his 1,500 dollar a month editing budget, and he lays out the full 8 step system he uses to turn YouTube videos, GitHub repos and articles into polished Instagram Reels. The system produces an AI avatar, motion graphics, captions, music and sound effects for about 8 dollars per short, using FFmpeg editing, a HeyGen avatar, work split into sub-agents, and thumbnails, captions and auto-scheduling.
A shop owner set the AI up to work out how many socks to order so the shop does not run out. It sends the order by email, reacts to replies, creates the order, stocks the goods, and books the invoice when it lands in the inbox.
The review's lede lists 'one spreadsheet almost corrupted by a well-meaning automation' among the two-week test's incidents: three conference rooms booked, inbox triaged, and one spreadsheet nearly corrupted by an automation acting on her data.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
Environmental consultancy Verdantas runs proposal development, contract management and collaboration agents on the AI Studio. Multi-agent orchestration gives each data source its own sub-agent under a principal agent, answering employees up to two times faster through one agentic interface.
Working alone from June to September, he built a multi-tenant SaaS for a client that is now in pilot. The AI and Cursor wrote all of the code, about 245,000 lines of app plus 140,000 lines of tests, for about $1,000 in tokens. Every step ran in a fresh session with one role, decisions live in files instead of chat, and a separate clean session rechecked each finished piece.
A LaTeX user's copied table code did not fit his page size at all. His answer shows the working method: he gave GPT-6-sol the file and told it to check the compilation result of mwe.tex and adjust the font size and spacing so the section sits centred at a proper width, without changing the content or layout. The answer posts the adjusted code that came back.
He used AI in a Google spreadsheet to apply a mass change to 30k rows. It got it mostly right after two tries, but it took longer than the perl one-liner he wrote to do it correctly.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
Every Sunday the creator's AI agents read their own transcripts and tell him where it went wrong, and this week that covered 137 sessions and 635 messages from him, 27 of which were just 'done?' or 'update?'. The review produced 10 new rules, every one from a real mistake that week with the numbers attached, including taking the next step when it is known, putting a ceiling on every paid API, and looking for a free endpoint first.
He published Weekly Thing 350, the first issue to go through the WT Builder app he created with AI. Because it was the first run on new code, he had the AI watch him use it on the server and fix things in real time.
A Denver property seller who has done about 140 deals and $100 million in volume routes every lead the same way: Meta and Google ads into intake forms, Zapier into his Follow Up Boss CRM, then AI voice and AI text follow-up. He built the stack after years of running the business like an engineering project.
His newsletter, close to 9,000 subscribers, is run day to day by four AI agents with set roles: one oversees, one edits and manages, one builds, one dispatches the work. He still approves anything that goes out, and the agents refresh their own context from checkpoints instead of slowly forgetting across days.
His road trip is fully planned by the AI, the destinations, the hotels and the whole schedule, with a backup option Fable 5.1 found in case the Badlands roads are rough. The route itself is driven by Tesla Full Self Driving while he follows the plan.
