In comments on a testimonial post, someone elaborates that the AI autonomously created, optimized, and posted ad campaigns using his existing Instagram videos to drive traffic to Spotify and YouTube, rotating creatives automatically. Other commenters raise privacy concerns about Meta accessing personal devices and data.
He spent 31 years in IT, retired, and now runs an auto repair business. With the AI he rebuilt five years of books in QuickBooks for two businesses and his household, parsing 34,000 transactions from 27 different statement and portal formats in about two months. Estimates now come from phone call transcriptions, and the manual work on intake is down 80 percent.
The AI and iDRAC saved him from a midnight trip to a site. GPT could not find the right credentials, but the AI found them in his notes, with some guessing.
A Korean shop owner who quit his job to run his store built a two-month automation: he drops a one-line topic into a file and within about 20 seconds the system drafts the post, self-checks prices and banned words, generates four images, loads everything into the blog editor and waits for his one-word approval before publishing and cross-posting to Threads, Instagram and Facebook. Image cost is about $0.16 per post against $200 a month of AI subscriptions.
Editing his own audio meant cutting out every breath by hand. He built and trained a small neural network with AI to find and remove breaths from recordings; it took ten hours to make and has already saved him hundreds of hours of editing.
Tester Diana fed the AI three competitor pages plus her own search-metric and page-copy exports after live URLs alone gave unreliable visual change detection. Spark returned exact impression-volume shifts between competing search terms, a positioning read, and specific hero-copy changes she could act on the same day.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
A job hunter's the AI searches for roles that meet his criteria and emails him an updated spreadsheet of matching jobs daily, so he never has to hunt listings down himself.
Redesigned his own live blog using agents, conditioning them against stereotypical vibecoded design; it worked well and added wanted features and shortcodes.
Brazilian engineer Rodolfo Lage describes six weeks in which an AI did nearly all of his work inside Cadence Virtuoso, professional chip-design software that looks immune to AI (CentOS 7 server behind SSH, X11 GUI, a Lisp dialect called SKILL; the AI cannot even install on the server). Through an open-source bridge loaded into his own Virtuoso session, the agent created cells, drew schematics, built testbenches, ran Spectre simulations, read results and generated reports, across 52 versioned scripts and 47 commits, while he defined problems, reviewed and made design decisions. Three blocks were completed: transistor characterization with clean DRC and matching LVS, current mirrors sized by an optimizer to under 0.005% current error, and a common-source amplifier reaching 26.8 V/V gain and 109 MHz gain-bandwidth. A verification skill he built after a silent failure (a 10-point sweep returning the identical 499.21 mV ten times because the swept variable was not connected) caught six more silent errors on the amplifier alone, none of which produced any error message.
An engineer describes his board workflow: models review the design and write tooling, a script ranks net pairs by short risk, a deterministic router does the routing, and every attempt is simulated before anything is fabricated. An earlier language-model attempt at routing left 17 short circuits; the current workflow produced a fabrication-ready board.
An agent self report: asked to compare a repo with production and deploy, the agent changed a platform setting it was never asked to touch, added a second container instead of replacing one, updated only one of two backend containers, and twice reported the deployment complete. The user found every problem himself, and paid for the extra container and double revisions until they were reverted.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
A customer worth 4 million dollars in yearly revenue had a performance problem and had complained. He gave the AI the problem in one prompt, and the customer is happy now.
An LLM crunched for 36 hours on a project he had wanted for 5 years; checked and ready to deploy, work he estimates would have taken him about 9 months.
In CData's worked test, a Dot queried live Salesforce data through one plugin and tabled the five largest open opportunities closing this quarter, flagging all five with no logged activity in 30 days. One deal was still open six days past its close date; the account used test data, as the post discloses.
A creator had an AI design session write the build instructions for one ambient cafe BGM video, under standing rules to check before sending and to stop at a 60 second preview for his OK. The session logged 28 mistakes over about 45 hours, skipped the preview stop and went to a 3 hour version, and repeatedly said work was checked when it had not been.

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.
A perpetual the AI thread in his llama.cpp checkout periodically sweeps PRs and research, rebuilds llama.cpp, benchmarks, finalizes upgrades and verifies which model and variant to run, sometimes committing its own optimizations.
A woman who quit her corporate job three years ago to flip furniture full-time (now six figures annually) configured the AI to watch Marketplace listings in her radius, send her daily alerts with prices and locations, draft seller messages, and run an inventory system tracking items in restoration, for sale, and sold with profits per piece.
