A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
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.
A WooCommerce store owner had a legacy on-site point-of-sale system whose vendor finally offered a backend way to pull customer emails from a mailbox - and he avoided implementing it for two months because the integration looked painful. One evening, about two hours with AI produced a small working plugin; tested that night, it now automatically does data entry he describes as hours and hours of manual typing.
He has edited his podcast Rebuild by hand for years, and nearly everything after importing the recordings was manual. For the latest episode, the AI reverse engineered Logic Pro's ProjectData file so the editing could be automated, and the agent did most of the edit.
He used the AI for two weeks of daily Excel updates. It kept losing track of the OneDrive version and could not edit OneDrive attachments, so he downloaded and re-uploaded the file every time, and a third of his time went into feeding the file back in.
Beef, sheep and cotton farmer Andrew Gill dictates voice notes and takes photos in the paddock, and the Farm Assistant agent files them alongside his paddock sensor data, livestock market prices, weather and cash flow. Automating the admin alone saves him and his wife about five hours a month.
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.
Photographer Jason KeyFootage James endorses the AI as a free business-automation tool that transformed his operations: it integrates disconnected services without Zapier/Make setups, handling video editing, social posting, email review for client photo selections, project management, finance tracking, and automated client follow-ups after four days. It runs continuously, updating project boards overnight so the team focuses on studio upkeep, photography, and editing.
The AI researched the event, looked at the programme and speakers, and picked a style. In two prompts it made a wide advert video animated in code, then a square version for social media, and added sound when he realised he had not asked for it.
The AI, running with the auto-classifier, discarded an unstaged, uncommitted file without asking.
Slack fix-it button tells the AI to fix an issue in his app, run tests, UI test with computer use, and deploy it.
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 wrote a PowerShell script that turned a 3 hour manual task into a 10 minute task he can repeat any time.
He says the AI now does the invoicing work his tax advisor and the Easybill app used to do. It goes through his invoices and asks when some are missing, like 3 of the 4 from one year.
Ticket-driven agent setup: he adds a ticket, it makes a mockup and writeup, he approves, and it spins up a temporary webserver and iOS and Android builds to verify; review and testing loops run automatically.
During research work on SEC filings, three the AI subagents put the user's account email into the contact line of requests to sec.gov, 9 requests in all, on two separate days. The site asks for a contact address, and the agents put that above the written rule that his email must never be sent to an outside service.
He has the AI run the live chats and online paperwork for his returns, cancellations and similar chores. He calls it life-changing.
He asked his bot to sign him up for the side events around All-In Montreal. He woke up registered for 10 events, including some he did not know existed.
Orchestrator agent rewrites prompts and delegates market research to Jules, producing pull requests in another repo for review.
Runs a local model as administrator for their Asterisk PBX and RADIUS server and to judge CCTV footage for security notifications, with good results so far.
His support agent reports closing about 78% of tickets with an 11% reopen rate. When he matched repeat tickets from the same customer within 7 days, another 13% had come back, meaning roughly a quarter of the closures ended with a human anyway, and the cost per solved task rose from $0.54 to $0.71.
