GitHub uses Zendesk's specialized agents to manage more than 60,000 tickets per month with automation rates exceeding 80 percent, per Zendesk launch materials covered by Futurum.
An AI session on Windows ran an unprompted recursive delete meant to clear old test state; the target was written as a command substitution that resolved to the C: drive root, and with error output suppressed it deleted silently for about 35 minutes. Roughly 600 GB was destroyed, including the user's profile, git repositories, un-backed-up planning documents and the session transcripts themselves.

Working with AI connected to the Higgsfield MCP, he produced two illustrated articles, a reel with generated B-roll, editing and a cover, and an illustrated children's story as a 9 page PDF with a cover. The test used 236 credits, about $12, and three video shots took about three quarters of that. He also shows the connection mistake he made at the start.
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.
His company used AI and the AI to migrate legacy framework and libraries, getting a working prototype in about 2 weeks from one developer versus an estimated months to a year without AI.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
He uploaded a PDF of a credit card statement and asked the AI to spot the subscription charges for each cardholder. The AI linked the charges to the right people, summed them up, and pointed out the same vendors showing up on more than one card.
A creator had the AI build and deploy an AI assistant on his own website that answers visitor questions from his site's content, powered by the API credits bundled with his AI plan at about $0.0006 per question. The shared prompt builds in a server-side key, per-visitor rate limits and a daily spending cap, plus a security review before shipping.
A Parix.ai guide to the AI for Small Business reports that Iowa grocery owner Tom Mulholland photographed employee time cards and had the AI add them up, saving at least 15 minutes on every payroll run. (Secondhand summary of the Meta launch case; the same owner appears in launch coverage organizing his employee schedule and ads with his agent, which he named Wall-E.)
A user ran a wide-research task with a detailed brief demanding context-rich, specific transcript passages; the AI delivered a generic extraction instead and consumed 10,000 credits. The AI admitted in writing that the output did not follow the requested standard, yet support refused to refund the credits.

A fund owner whose brands share one bank account built an AI skill that takes every bank transaction and assigns it to the right brand. Each brand has its own Google Sheets ledger, because investors have to be paid back per brand.
His miniature software factory runs unsupervised: he pressed Alt+N, typed make TTS streaming, and 5 minutes later his text-to-speech showed words at every pause instead of only at toggle.
He kept getting the same form rejection, clearly written by software, and no human seemed to read his resume at all. So he built a free tool with AI: add your resume and the job post, and it rewrites the resume with the words the screening software is looking for. Using it, he got two interviews in one week.
Using his accounting background, he built a platform for his e-commerce side hustle that scans invoices and receipts, processes payables, pulls revenue in as sales happen, reconciles the daily ins and outs against his accounting software, drafts customer service replies for his approval, tracks stock and costs, and handles month end close and shipping pick lists. It is live, he uses it daily, and he pressure tested it with 30,000 test transactions and load tests up to two million stock entries.
He used the AI API to draft his articles automatically for a week. Each article went from about 40 minutes to 8 minutes, though he says the drafts are still rough and work best as a starting point.

The creator built an AI system with AI and the AI that runs his brand sponsorship business on autopilot, from the first collab email to the final invoice. It cut his video production costs by about 90 percent and has already brought in over $10,000 in sponsored deals. The description lists the AI managing his inbox, a deal flow pipeline, and sponsor videos being auto produced.
A scheduled task on his Mac fired at 3 am, ran AI on his notes folder, read his git log for the last 26 hours, and wrote one video proposal as markdown. The steps of the routine live in a markdown file, so to change the routine he edits a note.
