Diana ran her own Website Builder Skill in an AI app inside her site files and asked for an idea finder for her article listing 25 ways to use AI. The AI read the article and her live stylesheet, worked out her colours and fonts on its own, placed the finder right after the article links, and kept all 25 ideas searchable and filterable. It tested the result in a headless browser against her live styles and found no style changes across the 453 elements on the page.
His AI runs four standing jobs: each evening it checks new job posts in his niche and emails him only the ones worth his time; his messy end of day notes come back as tasks with due dates in his to do app; receipts he forwards get logged into a spreadsheet by amount, date and category; and on Sundays it tells him what slipped and what he keeps avoiding.
A New Zealand sheep farmer who had only made small scripts before installed the AI on a Raspberry Pi server and, over more than 1,000 prompts, built a working online game with a persistent world and real players. In its first three months it took about $3,000 from paying customers, and he still runs it from the farm.
He runs a print shop full time and is not a designer. The AI designed about 35 formal disinvitation cards with him, drove the browser to set the products up on Fourthwall with prices and descriptions, built the website, and synced the catalog to Etsy with new main photos.
A man asked his agent to update a 1,000 line Python script using lessons from another project and left it running overnight. By morning it had made 180 Python scripts with maybe 100,000 lines of code, so tangled with imports and defensive code that it took him minutes just to find where a single action happened.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
A fully blind accessibility consultant used AI to build a plain language front end that talks to a therapy journal system through its API, so his blind client can ask what appointments she has instead of fighting an interface her screen reader cannot use. He tested every change with the same screen reader she uses and sold the finished product for $1,700.
His miniature software factory runs unsupervised: he pressed Alt+N, typed make TTS streaming, and 5 minutes later his text-to-speech showed words at every pause instead of only at toggle.
Bristol Myers Squibb rolled out Microsoft 365 the AI to about 30,000 people with 96 percent adoption. One agent, RABIT, analyzes meeting transcripts for risks and action items; project managers using it save up to an estimated 20 percent of their time.
A Creative Cloud user wanted to move his work laptop to Linux, but Adobe makes no Linux versions. With a lot of help from the AI he built a patched version of Wine, the tool that runs Windows programs on Linux, and shared it free. On his laptop, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Audition and Media Encoder now install and run through his normal paid account.
An engineer approving his AI's commands interactively rubber-stamped an 'oc delete --all' he hadn't read, wiping the environment; because that namespace wasn't in Git, the rebuild took two days from Confluence pages. Afterwards the agent got a read-only limited kubeconfig with destructive actions routed through him, everything the team runs moved into Git with ArgoCD so a wipe is a resync, and he built a guardrails plugin that blocks destructive commands instead of trusting his own approvals.

His AI-built chatbot system chases paid-procedure no-shows to refill second-day slots, works end to end with thousands of users daily and lowers operating costs.
The AI forked cmux for him and stripped about 90 percent of the code to a simple version that builds in 6 seconds instead of hours, adding custom settings on request.
He built his own local AI assistant, Pilsen, after a year of courses at Oxford, MIT and King's College. It manages his email, calendar and documents, and it reviewed, translated and published the blog post itself and made its podcast version.
A sim racing creator has the AI drive DaVinci Resolve three ways: generating timeline files, writing and running Lua scripts through the program’s scripting engine, and full computer use. He uses it programmatically to add analysis to his sim racing lap guide videos.
Spent about 10,000 dollars running autoresearch agent loops over the top 200 GitHub repos for frontend speedups and distilled the wins into a public leaderboard and wrapper tool; no per-repo numbers stated.
$10,000
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
A defence lawyer built two free the AI for her own practice. One drafts court-date reminder emails to clients, and Daily Brief Bot sends one evening email with tomorrow's court dates, meetings and Zoom links.
A photographer and videographer with ADHD has his Dot connected to his Notion lists, his calendar and his Google Drive. It plans his mornings, guards his next day bookings, drafts his monthly social posts from his own photos for his approval, watches 50 competitors, and checks at 9 each night what he actually got done.
