Alistair Barr gave his Dot an old edition of his AI Insider newsletter as a Google Doc and told it to try a test run in the workplace newsletter tool, using the written how to guide. The Dot logged in for him, with a password click and a two factor code from his phone, and about five minutes later sent back a test draft his editor called 95% good.
Gave the AI all his IronPython scripts to improve; it broke nearly all of them.
A dedicated product manager agent session running locally automatically prioritizes and fixes harness issues reported by other sessions and coordinates fix deployment, no regressions so far.
Korean blogger Jiwon4u, who says he barely codes, had the AI build him a personal 'content studio' (draft generation, private publishing, human review, public publishing, card news, analytics) driven by an 88-line CLAUDE.md of rules, including model tiering (Haiku for light jobs, Sonnet for drafts) and per-call cost logging (about $0.10 per draft conversion). The work queue has run 446 jobs since Sept 30, 2026. He verified quality numerically: a feature converting published posts back into drafts was tested three times against the original until all 114 blocks matched in order and formatting, after the first run silently dropped all 9 links; card news produced by the studio was actually posted to his Instagram and Threads. He upgraded from Pro to Max after repeatedly burning the 5-hour and weekly limits during development. (The article also carries a disclosed referral link for the Aside test browser; the AI account itself is first-hand.)
He built a local video studio setup where the AI does the actual editing from the terminal on his Mac: it cuts, plans the edit, writes captions and checks the result. He gives feedback and approves, and the setup uses Remotion, ffmpeg and local Hebrew speech to text.
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.
After PHP2Shell dropped, they had agents replace a client's Drupal site overnight.
Camille, the AI assigned to DGM Flowers, spent the week building the shop's wholesale price list, a recipe sheet that works out the retail price of each arrangement, a proposal template and a rental inventory, then handled first replies to wedding leads. Every quote the shop sends now starts from real costs instead of a guess.
He tried AI's new Comet browser on his own Amazon Ads campaigns. He says his return on ad spend went up by 120%.
After hackers hit their research site meta-analysis.cz, which had no central backup, the AI and the AI rebuilt it from Wayback Machine copies and scattered files on their hard drives. The site is now on GitHub, its datasets are archived on Zenodo with a DOI, and every paper has an HTML version next to the PDF.
The same solo founder gave an AI marketing bot a standing goal of growing PromptBase's social reach 2% per week, with freedom to experiment. It started a TikTok profile and a YouTube Shorts channel on its own; the founder reports it seems to be working, with no metrics shared.
He sends audio messages to his AI. It transcribes them locally on the graphics card in his home server, so his voice notes become text without leaving the house.
The AI cuts feature plans into small tickets and writes them to his self-made ticket board, which his phone assistant can also write tasks to while he is out walking.
Kalena Waters-Gardner ('HOW TO USE MUSE EP. 2') says one week of the AI benefited her business.
Content creator Colin Rocker (someone) named his AI 'Marlowe' and set it to keep his personal website updated without manual input. Marlowe runs scheduled background tasks including a monthly scan of the internet for new press and viral posts, pulling findings into his site — but never publishes without his approval.
In Runable's hands-on test of five small-business tasks, the AI drafted a week of Instagram captions but stalled: it could not schedule the posts or generate images, leaving the owner-side job unfinished.
He set up an AI skill that now cuts his YouTube Shorts on its own. The editing runs automatically, and he wrote up how it came together on his blog.
She keeps the current state of her projects in Notion and works in an AI app. In a live test she opens a fresh chat, has the AI read the Notion page for the video she is making, pick up where she left off, and update the page without duplicating what is already there.
Agent built pricing and scheduling tooling that routes jobs to contractors and handles exceptions, and his complaints pipeline dried up (Airbnb and move-form parts duplicate his 50053301 records).
Working with AI on his NeoBox emulator, he found setjmp was eating 81 percent of frame time, switched to _setjmp for a roughly 130x per-call gain, and the fix was merged upstream in Geolith.
