A Korean automation instructor sells an AI skill kit for Naver Blog and documents his own test on a real shop: he handed the skill five shop photos and a one-line memo, and it wrote the post, placed photos, a video, a map and tags, and completed a scheduled publication in 3 minutes 20 seconds. With a reservation set, Naver itself posts at the chosen time even with the computer off.
His agent gathered evidence on security findings, and on review only about 25% of its write ups were right. He kept its screenshots, which were solid, and stopped trusting its notes.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
His team of AI agents, building a biotech-investor decision-support app, turns the agent chat history into a scripted ElevenLabs-voiced podcast episode after each unit of work so he can follow progress by listening; he caught the team planning a roughly $730 API test run instead of using his AI plan and stopped it.
In 'Using the AI for Business' Ep. 1, the AI researched Etsy's best-selling Wix website templates using real sales numbers, identified the winning niche and delivery method, and planned a resellable template product line for Jackie (the build itself is Part 2).
As an experiment, the founder told his project-manager bot to ship one secret feature to PromptBase at 4am and deploy it while he slept - the only rule was that it had to benefit the site. Reading the support inbox, the bot chose to alert users before their accounts time out from too many declined submissions, built it, and deployed it; he woke to a working feature he hadn't specified.
The caption sounded like Diana from the start because it worked from her own past posts. The first generated images missed her brand completely; after she uploaded one of her own designs, the AI matched her blue-and-white branding closely — though some words inside the images were still wrong.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
A man fed an expanded spec sheet into AI Sites and got a working booking website for his rehearsal space in 30 minutes. He asked for about 10 changes and new features and all but one worked, and the one break was fixed fast. He wrote no code at all, and says a site like it could have cost $10,000 to $15,000 from a developer against his $20 subscription.
Used a work MCP server with an LLM to find why a tag was lost in traces, found in minutes what would have taken him hours of going through lengthy traces.
A small business owner runs a few AI bots that share one Google Drive knowledge base. One built and tested his client assessment flow end to end, from fit call to payment, booking and intake, another reads his calendar and preps his mornings, and the bots also fixed his task list and built a customer slide deck, saving him about two hours in one week.
John Merphy made $600 selling two short client research reports: The AI compiled the research, compared sources and formatted the docs; he reviewed and delivered. Part of $1,150 total that month.
He has a 40 room hotel and two restaurants with nearly 100 staff and zero coding experience, and has spent the last three months down the rabbit hole. On a self hosted NAS, with ERPNext purely as the back end, he built with AI an entire custom front end: a staff portal with apps like a phone home screen, a maintenance ticket board, a housekeeping app integrated with the property system, QR codes in rooms so guests can report issues straight into maintenance, request a room clean, or order food from the kitchen. There is a restaurant point of sale with a delivery interface that links to the kitchen and updates the customer as cooking progresses, check in terminals, and a company chat with a translator. Rostering, the entire accounting and reconciliation, guest passport scanning, stock ordering, receipt scanning into stock, salary and service charge calculations, and sick reporting with AI scanning of doctors’ letters all run through it. Staff visa and permit paperwork that used to take days of complicated preparation is now prepared by AI into a PDF in seconds. About 140,000 lines of unique code, not counting ERPNext.
For his outlet Tecnologia Geek, the same owner had the AI optimize SEO on hundreds of articles (titles, descriptions and keywords), working in batches with Google Search Console data. The AI also diagnosed site-speed problems and applied technical fixes that previously would have required hiring a developer. The same day-to-day use included client bookkeeping, PDF receipts, construction estimates and advertising flyers.
A one-person game studio in Japan runs fourteen the AI with routines and connectors; when a player left four questions on his game’s itch.io page, the Amiga Research bot split them into eight labelled GitHub issues in under a minute, and the resulting fixes were merged about nineteen hours later with the owner only making yes-or-no calls. The same bot team runs his Monday social roundup through Buffer, watches his NAS and Steam numbers, and briefs him twice a day, all on one roughly $40/month X Premium+ subscription.
He built a team of AI agents that run on a schedule while he sleeps. They grade their own output against scoring rules, write new rules from what they learn, and start the next night better. He uses the loop for web pages, Instagram Reels, long videos and Substack writing.
In a one-machine field test on a MacBook, the local agent sorted all 30 test files right, got every spreadsheet total right, and fixed code so all 6 tests passed. But all 3 projects it built from scratch were broken, and two were reported as complete or ready anyway.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
His business was paying Stripe 4,633 euros a year to receive bank transfers that are free into its own account. He had the AI go through 12 months of Revolut and Stripe charges.
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.
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.
