A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A GPT agent crunched through a famously hard Disobey conference hacker ticket challenge in an evening and a morning with occasional steering, a challenge unsolved in some years.
A developer tired of managing terminal windows one way and other windows another way grew his own replacement with AI over the course of a few months, one that treats graphical apps as part of the session too. He uses it now and says he has never looked back.
A team ran an AI pipeline over a usability test of an investment app and saved about half a day of manual analysis. Every claim the AI made about the screen was checked against a video frame, and two claims that did not hold up were left out of the report.
Set the AI the task of running Parseable locally against another of his apps; it worked around a protobuf limitation by running a proxy, he switched his stack to JSON and got it running.
Cemex's Consult HR agent in Microsoft Teams explains the vision benefit from SharePoint policy documents, then presents an Adaptive Card in the same chat where the employee enters details and uploads the invoice image. On submit, Power Platform workflows route the claim into ServiceNow and immediately return a live tracking ticket number in Teams.
Railroad CSX embedded Chessie, an AI Studio agent, in its ShipCSX portal used daily by 7,000 customers. Shoppers ask in natural language to track a shipment or get FAQ answers; in the first 45 days over 1,000 customers used it across 4,000+ conversations and kept coming back.
Opus 5.5 decompiled 3 competitor audio products in about 3 hours from one prompt, built an emulator to verify, converted them to a C++ library, all tested and sounding right.
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.)
Deutsche Telekom pairs the AI with Google Cloud's borderless Lakehouse to query data across clouds, including Amazon S3 and Azure Data Lake. Thirty thousand users now analyze data four times faster.
The AI found the hidden WAL sync bug in his shelved delay queue; he rewrote it and got benchmarked results like 107,500 durable adds per second.
He let the AI go through his system and write a first pass of the documentation, including the billing part he felt he had to finish before retiring. The remittances section alone used up a full day of tokens, so the work ran over several days, but it got done and let him retire, or at least half retire, a little earlier.
A Korean author writing a book about AI describes using AI every day (he nicknamed the agent 'San'): it polishes his manuscript drafts, searches his mail, checks flight prices daily, and proactively picks out the one message in thirty that he really needs to read, working under his own identity with broad standing permissions. Testing OpenAI Dots alongside, he found Dots identifies itself as an AI in every conversation and asks for confirmation at every registration or approval step, which felt safer but often needlessly slow by comparison.
He is a photographer. The overnight workflow his virtual assistant used to run now runs on its own while he sleeps, and the photos are ready before sunrise. Today he let the virtual assistant go.
Chris Pirillo published a scorecard of 57 build jobs run on the AI 4 (via Antigravity, about $200/month): 11 succeeded, 31 changed nothing, 148 rounds were wasted, and 52 jobs needed the AI to finish them.
He gave the AI 45 podcast files, each about an hour and a half long. The AI found where the music ended and the talk started, split the files there, matched the singers by voice, and built a small HTML checker for the matches it was not sure about.
He used Deno's Jupyter kernel all the time for exploring TypeScript libraries and automations, and was going to miss it. He pointed the AI at the problem and the result is cdp-kernel, Deno's Jupyter kernel extracted to run notebooks on any V8 runtime, now on GitHub.
Senior HVAC technician David Gharamany at Art of Comfort checks from a customer's home whether a part is at the shop, how fast he can get it, and which seller is cheapest, with the company's AI engine doing the shopping. Every service call's data is fed back into the system so the next technician facing a similar fault can pull up his fixes instead of phoning him, and the same system handles customer calls so the shop stops missing them.
He asked the AI to check a document against his checklist. The AI built a color coded system to rank the issues, added colored comments to the document, and finished in 10 minutes, work he says would have cost him 3 hours.
Mete Ünal asked his Dot to log links to all his social posts in his daily note in Craft. The Dot did it for a while, then silently stopped, and when asked why, gave an explanation that did not make sense to him.
Locally hosted agents rebuilt a Conductor flaw in an isolated lab and got root access inside the test container. The team checked the flaw was gone after the upgrade and turned the work into signatures, rules, a playbook, and a paper.
