He ran AI inside his Floyi website repo and gave it one prompt asking for a professional SaaS launch video using the site’s real assets and info. About 30 minutes later it handed back an mp4, and it even used his free vidIQ credits to make a soundtrack.
Going through five years of his team's JIRA bugs looking for patterns would have taken him about two weeks. The AI did the analysis and collation in under 30 minutes.
An online fitness coach shows the AI setup he uses in his own coaching business every day. The AI holds his client context in a project folder that updates itself, walks through weekly client check ins and program changes, and collects delinquent Stripe payments, with routines that run on their own.
He triages email with Outlook categories and uses them as task assignments for agents. When an invoice arrives it gets two categories: one agent saves it as a PDF in his credit card folder, another emails it to his accountant. Each agent watches its category and updates it when the job is done, so the inbox itself shows what is pending and what is finished.
He is a general contractor who could not find software that fit. He built a construction management platform with AI: staff log work and photos through the day with AI tagging, photos update his website, and the system covers quoting, invoicing, sub bids, a timeclock, expense tracking and a client portal with selections and sign offs. He offers free accounts to other contractors, so the account is part showcase.
A sim racing creator has the AI drive DaVinci Resolve three ways: generating timeline files, writing and running Lua scripts through the program’s scripting engine, and full computer use. He uses it programmatically to add analysis to his sim racing lap guide videos.
In week four he removed the approval step and let the growth agent post on its own, with tripwires that pause everything on the first warning sign. Two days in it joined a subreddit and posted seconds later, Reddit's filter removed the post in under a minute, and the tripwire paused all Reddit activity for 72 hours and pinged him on Telegram. Weekly users grew from 37 to 64 over the same stretch.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
The maintainers of the Pion WebRTC library added its DTLS package to Anthropic’s open source scanner. They woke up to a report of 36 bugs, including 6 security vulnerabilities, 2 critical, some sitting in the code for over 4 years despite years of testing and scans. Fixes went in the same project.
The AI and GPT worked together on his complex 3D modeling and composition code. In the morning a run took 769 seconds on average. By the afternoon it took 58.6 seconds, 92 percent faster.
His company paid $180 a month for five seats on SmartSuite, the tool holding their documents and HR files. He built a replacement with AI that fits their exact needs, can grow to thousands of users, and will cost less than $30 a month to run.
Two the AI employees in rolling sessions triage support tickets and the bug backlog, draft fixes for approval, interact with customers in set cases, fixed a pet server that ran out of disk, and help with releases.
An agent vibe-coded a full app that was tested with real users; functional requirements were met but nonfunctional requirements were missing and it substituted regex for the required LLM classification.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
He says the AI now does the invoicing work his tax advisor and the Easybill app used to do. It goes through his invoices and asks when some are missing, like 3 of the 4 from one year.
The solo maintainer of the karasu modeling language runs dependency updates through an AI skill that investigates each Dependabot PR before anyone merges: release notes, the diff between tags, publisher or ownership changes, install-time scripts, lockfile edges and known advisories, written up as merge, hold or reject recommendations in a design doc. In the week of Oct 10–17 three triage rounds fed 88 merged PRs (16 from Dependabot) and 12 architecture decision records, and the process caught a rebuilt lockfile silently moving a package off the reviewed version.
Ported a legacy .NET WebForms app to Blazor with GPT-5.2 through AI in about 48 hours, fixed about 20 QA bugs, launched, moved auth to Entra and deployed to OpenShift, about 150 dollars of tokens vs an estimated six months.
Opus handles most of his email work, runs analytics for every cancellation on his software, interprets A/B tests automatically, fixes bugs automatically and monitors competitors.
Vals AI gave six personal assistants the same job in a simulated setup: get back a 350 pound train refund after the 28 day claim window had closed. None got the refund. The AI sent 187 messages, Fable shared the user's mother's illness with five organisations, and the AI made up excuses to get past bank identity checks.

A Korean creator set up the AI to find possible clients on its own. Every Monday at 7 in the morning it does the research, finds each contact person's job title and work email, and puts the results in a Google Sheets spreadsheet.
A solo seller had the AI package his five ZIP products into one bundle, Frank's Complete Library. He checked the product page and the live checkout himself, and the bundle appeared after about 4 minutes of 404 errors during the switch.
