Turn player comments into GitHub issues and shipped fixes automatically

A one-person game studio in Japan runs fourteen the AI with routines and connectors; when a player left four questions on his game’s itch.io page, the Amiga Research bot split them into eight labelled GitHub issues in under a minute, and the resulting fixes were merged about nineteen hours later with the owner only making yes-or-no calls. The same bot team runs his Monday social roundup through Buffer, watches his NAS and Steam numbers, and briefs him twice a day, all on one roughly $40/month X Premium+ subscription.

Read every job advert, tailor my CV and apply with my approval

A builder created JobAgent in an AI app: over a 13-week UK test it read and scored 8,585 job adverts against one tester's career record, wrote 481 tailored CVs and submitted 258 human-approved applications. The run produced 8 interviews and 3 offers — roughly one interview per 32 applications.

I had my agent read its own usage bill, set five rules, and cut its token use by about a fifth

He exported 10 hours of his AI usage (8,915 model calls, about 1.15 billion tokens) and had the bot study it. Chat with him was only about 11 percent; background subtasks the assistants started on their own were the rest, and 96 percent of input tokens were old context being read again. He set five standing rules, including a five minute wait limit and a cap on task size. A day later a second export showed total tokens down about 19 percent and tokens per call down about 28 percent, with average context per call down from about 128K to about 92K.

The AI Sites built his rehearsal space booking site in 30 minutes, with no code from him

A man fed an expanded spec sheet into AI Sites and got a working booking website for his rehearsal space in 30 minutes. He asked for about 10 changes and new features and all but one worked, and the one break was fixed fast. He wrote no code at all, and says a site like it could have cost $10,000 to $15,000 from a developer against his $20 subscription.

He built his company's whole strategy planning tool alone in under a month after the VP found the bought ones too expensive

His VP of engineering reviewed two or three strategy tools on the market and they were prohibitively expensive, so he asked if it could be built instead. He built it alone in less than a month: long term objectives broken down into annual objectives, improvement priorities, projects, milestones and tasks, with bowler charts tracking the KPIs, full project management tools, and containerized staging, development and production environments. It cost roughly $1,000 to $2,000 in an AI app credits. The VP then put his own name all over it, and made him replace his own name in the about section with the name of the organization.

I built a budget simulation for my public policy class

He used AI, ElevenLabs, and D-ID to make a budget simulation for his Politics of Public Policy course. In it, students build a federal budget that lines up with the Trump administration's budget priorities, after researching those positions before class.

His agent lost its polite template, roasted 40 founders, and booked 8 calls

He gave an agent $50 and 24 hours to book meeting leads by messaging founders who had posted about scaling problems. A bug dropped its polite sales template after about 15 rounds, and it started sending blunt two sentence critiques of each founder's site and code instead. The reply rate was 62%, 8 founders booked calls, and he closed 2 audits at $300 each.

An agent put my whole course on Canvas in about a minute

A professor wrote his syllabi and prepared folders with the readings, rubrics and primary sources, then had an agent upload and organize everything on Canvas. Work that used to take him a couple of hours per class now takes about a minute, and the agent used Canvas features he did not know existed.
