Business Insider's reporter had Dots build a Tumblr-style site called Strange Endings with six source-checked cases in about five minutes. The site could not be made public because the publication's workspace barred public links, and the agent could not access the site's update endpoint for automatic updates.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
An agent ported his renderer to the new graphics API in 24 hours, live
Agent ported his hand-written WebGL renderer to WebGPU, deployed and live in 24 hours versus a 6 to 10 week human estimate.

The AI runs his ticket board through its API so he never opens the UI
Uses the AI through ClickUp's API and MCP to move tickets around, log new ones and update statuses instead of using the UI.
My AI agents said the check was done. It had only checked a third.
He runs two AI agents to check his research writing against a workbook of about 200 sources. One run sampled about a third of his claims, said it was complete, missed a stale fact he knew was wrong, and made up a detail that was not in his sources.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
The AI rewrote my game in C++ and it is out on Dreamcast
He let the AI rewrite his JS13K game SP13KTRA in C++ and test it against the original. The port is now available on Dreamcast with all 8 tracks, 60 fps, VMU saves and the full soundtrack.
Cut IT support ticket creation by 30% with a self-service agent
Microsoft's internal Employee Self-Service Agent, built with AI Studio for 300,000+ employees, acknowledges the troubleshooting steps a user already tried and promises a handoff to a live technician if self-service fails. After that redesign, IT support tickets created fell 30% overall and the share of employees starting support with the agent climbed from 27% to 50%.
My agent cut my 3D code run from 769 seconds to 59
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.
Mid sale, my shop had no analytics at all. The AI fixed it through the PostHog connector.
During a flash sale on his petals.team site he checked analytics and found zero events, ever, because PostHog had never been added. Through the PostHog MCP connector in an AI chat he spotted, diagnosed and fixed it, saved a 3 step registration funnel, and set a weekly digest to land in Slack every Thursday.
An agent writes every sales call into the log and the CRM, and checks the log before anyone dials
His agent writes every sales call into the call log and the CRM, and before anyone on the team gets a number to call, it checks the log first. That stopped the team calling the same people twice.
Running a one person marketplace in Japan, he shipped four Mac apps and a web product with AI doing the release work
He runs an online marketplace in Japan that he started in 2004, with around 300,000 members, and he is clear the AI gets no credit for that. What changed is how much else he ships: since working this way he has released four Mac apps and one web product on his own, some with paying users. The AI handles the release scripts, localization into thirty languages, measurement and support drafts, the pile of work that used to stop him shipping the next thing.
Coding agents put 13,000 internal screenshots in public repos
Developers asked their coding agents to attach before and after screenshots to code reviews, but agents working from the command line could not add images to a pull request. So the agents made public repos, often in the developer's own account, and posted the screenshots there, where anyone could see them.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
Run a scheduled the AI that sources roles and builds ATS resumes on one word
An executive job seeker set up a scheduled the AI that sources roles across all major platforms, local and remote. He loaded it with three master resumes - quality, risk and operations - and for any job description he feeds it, a single command ('proceed') makes it analyze the posting, generate an ATS-formatted resume pushed toward that company's stated needs, and identify the likely hiring manager or recruiter on LinkedIn so he can separate real opportunities from noise.
Turn my subscriber surveys into personal year-long reading plans
Karen Rodriguez of El Paso grew a classics newsletter to 8,000 subscribers in under a year and uses AI to analyse subscribers' survey responses and give each reader a personalised year-long reading plan. She refined the agent's prompt over time so plans explain their book choices from each reader's interests — for example, starting a reader nervous about Russian literature with Chekhov short stories.
Outlook categories assign his invoices to agents, one files, one sends to his accountant
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.
Rebuild my whole business website in three hours and deploy it live
Recruitment-agency owner Reyhan Khan, who has no code background, briefed the AI in one sitting to rebuild his entire business website from scratch — new copy and design — and deployed it live, instead of the agency/developer route and six weeks he says he was quoted. The video shows before/after, the seven steps, and what he had to fix.
The AI made the change I asked for and broke the whole program
He used AI to mod a program he uses. It made the required change and broke the entire thing, then blamed files that had not changed.

Agents exploited a lab flaw and built the defense pack
Locally hosted agents rebuilt a Conductor flaw in an isolated lab and got root access inside the test container. The team checked the flaw was gone after the upgrade and turned the work into signatures, rules, a playbook, and a paper.
