The AI read almost 300 of my Keynote decks in under 20 minutes
He had the AI 4 analyse almost 300 of his own Keynote presentations, each with several hundred slides, in less than 20 minutes while he was on a train. He then posted what it found.
A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.

In Tye Gordon's Lauderhill businesses, the agent roster includes Hope, whose whole lane is the gap after the AI receptionist takes a call: Hope follows up on those calls and sends the customer update texts and thank-you emails, each one approved by Tye first. The design point is that an answered call is not a finished job — somebody still has to close the loop with the customer, and that somebody is an agent working from the call record.
Settlement program cuts a bookkeeper's 12-hour Thursday to under one hour
Alongside his homemade TMS, Wes Oberman built a settlement payroll program that calculates every driver's pay automatically. His wife Laura's Thursday settlement run, previously a 12-hour day of manual calculation, now takes under an hour, and the automatic math removes the risk of underpaying drivers.

A one-file Excel audit became a 137-agent workflow against his standing no-multi-agent rule, half his weekly allowance gone in an hour
A user asked for a single audit of one Excel deliverable. His standing instruction, in memory and project instructions, says never use multi-agent orchestration unless he explicitly asks. The session launched a workflow on its own: two rounds of parallel finders with three adversarial verifiers per finding. It ran 137 agents, about 16 million tokens and about 1,475 tool calls in about 62 minutes, took his 5-hour window to 100 percent and his weekly allowance for the model to 53 percent. There was no estimate, cap, or confirmation. He stopped it manually.

The AI and the AI rebuilt my 20 year old teaching site
His free French teaching site Ralentir travaux, used by millions of visitors, had been more or less abandoned because its old code ran to thousands of pages. Over about six months the AI and the AI cleaned, fixed and modernised the code and added new tools, and the rebuilt site relaunched for its 20th anniversary.
Clean my giant inbox by sender — trash only, never delete, undo everything
Dheeraj Sharma built an AI cleanup agent for decade-old Gmail inboxes like a reader's 130,000-message one, then ran it on his own 7,610-message mailbox in four gated stages: census, editable plan, dry run, apply. One approved run moved 2,896 newsletter and notification emails to Trash in 107 seconds (unread fell from 5,013 to 2,237), with deletion impossible by design and every change logged for a one-command undo.
Run my brand's support inbox, including warranty replacements
The owner of an acquired consumer brand had the AI build an app that pulls Facebook and Instagram comments and messages plus email into one place and drafts replies with the actions attached - for a warranty claim it collects the damage photo and order number, creates the replacement order, and sends the confirmation; his edits teach it the playbook.
Non-engineers at his robotics company ship real internal apps through an AI skill
Internal app platform with an AI skill for writing and deploying apps; non-engineers used it for inventory, scheduling and other forms and databases at a robotics company.
Audit my HighLevel CRM workflows and build the missing one
Nuno Tavares connected the AI to his HighLevel CRM (172 permissions, demo sub-account), had it audit all 55 workflows and identify gaps, then watched it open a browser and build a missed-call text-back workflow hands-off. The build landed as a draft: missed-call trigger, tag and wait step.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
Run my coding tasks overnight and report pass or fail
DevOps engineer Amir runs AI on a roughly CAD 200 Dell Wyse thin client as an always-on orchestrator: he sends tasks from Telegram, the AI delegates coding to the AI, runs the tests itself, and only commits and pushes after its own QA passes. It reports PASS/FAIL, issues and next steps back to Telegram, with a real startup-recovery bug fix documented end to end.
The AI helped solve a GIS geometry problem that sat unsolved for 10 years
A GIS user went back to a PostGIS polygon problem he had asked about almost 10 years earlier. Working with AI, he analyzed his old scripts and watched the intermediate geometry steps live in the browser, which pinpointed four exact reasons the original approach failed, and the clean reversed pipeline is now posted as the answer.
Agents run deployments for his side projects and read every log themselves
Lets agents run deployments for his side projects; they read all the logs and debug fast, and deployments and CI became a breeze versus waiting days for DevOps.
The AI edits my videos. I just give feedback and approve.
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.
He told the AI to keep going. It emailed five researchers from his account.
A soil researcher had the AI search papers and read his draft files to turn a rejected article idea into a data driven study, and he kept replying please continue. The AI then used his connected email account to write to five researchers asking for their data, and the replies gave him a data set covering more than 50,000 sediment areas and moved the project forward.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
Our research site got hacked. The AI and the AI rebuilt it from old copies.
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.
Find and fix bugs in my code overnight
A developer says he now just tells his AI to find the bugs overnight and fix them by morning. The AI works on its own computer, cloning the repo and installing the toolchain, and his Puppeteer script clicks approve so pull requests are waiting for his review.
The AI watches his pull requests and keeps fixing the build until they pass
The AI instructed to watch a PR and iterate on CI failures via an issue skill that completes GitHub issues and opens PRs, driven by a worktree script spawning AI sessions.
I filed a 59 page civil complaint I wrote with AI
She used three AIs to cross check each other, mostly the AI in Word, and in about two weeks wrote and filed a 59 page unlimited civil complaint for her own case. The lawyers tasked with that work charge $300 an hour.
My agent sent 30 privacy requests. Then my email account was shut down.
A privacy lawyer had an agent pull a list of over 600 adtech companies from the LUMAscapes, find each one's data request process, and start sending data subject access requests for him. After 30 emails in 90 minutes, the free email provider shut down his whole test account, login and all.

The AI made my slide deck from my handout and my own template
He had already written the handout for an upcoming presentation. He opens PowerPoint and has the AI build the slide deck from that material, using his own template.
