A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Constraints: zero ad budget, no existing audience, ~4 hrs/week of human time; assets: a subdomain, Cloudflare access, DodoPayments. Ruled out: custom AI songs, mixing/mastering services, automated day trading, 'information arbitrage'.
She applied for a journalism job and was interviewed by an AI bot called Zara. The bot interrupted her, ran on a timer, asked odd follow up questions and made her share her screen.
Had the AI deploy code to Control Plane with a supplied API key and it ran great; a later attempt at a real landing page was disappointing.
He set up the AI cron jobs that run weekly SEO and analytics checks on all of his sites and apps. He says the checks are working well and keep him consistent.
Jacob runs four AI products alone. He built Tracetify, a tool that rebuilds how a competitor got its first users from twelve public data sources, in about three days, and gave the AI one instruction for the whole interface: you decide. Users later asked whether he had hired a designer.
Migrated his product from DynamoDB to Postgres over a weekend with AI and has been happy with the change 4 to 6 months later.
Ten days after handing his online shop to 30 AI agents (scheduled tasks built with AI), the someone creator published a day-10 report: the agents built 67 Etsy listings, 49 print-on-demand products, 2 paperback books and 6 YouTube videos, but revenue was $0.00 on 165 views, 0 favorites and 0 sales, with $42.60 spent. His lesson: "Building is cheap now. Getting seen is the hard part."
Employees at Swiss sportswear brand On launched no-code the AI Enterprise agents themselves. The agents handle knowledge extraction, executive reporting, research, scheduling and onboarding materials.
The AI 3.8 Flash, via his own coding agent tool, upgraded his Markdown and SVG renderer tool to also render HTML; the upgraded tool is live.
Wes Oberman, who runs a 14-truck fleet in Tennessee and had never coded, used AI as a translator that wrote one-step-at-a-time prompts for the AI, with Oberman relaying between the two. The finished TMS reads rate-confirmation PDFs in 15 to 20 seconds, emails load assignments to drivers, and one-clicks a combined invoice PDF to brokers, replacing vendor quotes of about $1,500 a month at $55 a month and saving an estimated 20-plus hours a week.
Kantar's People Team split HR data preparation into subtasks and gave each to an AI Studio agent: one located documents, another translated everything to English, a third found duplicate policies and drafted formatted versions. Ten agents cleaned, tagged and organized 4,000 artifacts into 400 policy documents in six weeks, grounding the firm's new HR advisory agent.
A developer's project sat inside a OneDrive folder. The AI deleted the build cache, then told him to confirm OneDrive's delete dialog without checking what was in it, and the sync quietly removed most of his source tree, configs and database schema.
His role was cut on Tuesday morning. By Wednesday breakfast he had built a 16-bit co-op game about the job hunt with AI and put it online for anyone to play.
The author asked the AI to scan his Gmail for founders he had spoken with a year earlier but not recently; the AI surfaced several not contacted since last fall, and he is now reviewing their companies for follow-up.
He edits video for a living. His agents handle the non creative manual work around each project: quality checks for missed text, black frames and logos, subtitles, reformatting for social aspect ratios, spreading files to the right products and pulling source material for descriptions. He logs his hours on every project and says agent assisted projects take about half the time with better quality; the weeks spent building the setup paid for themselves in two weeks.
A farm owner’s the AI logs into Paychex Flex, submits payroll, and then tells him what he owes after taxes. Payroll day is a bot run and a summary, not an afternoon in a portal.
Trialled the Duet personal agent; it wrote performance reviews from incomplete data without asking, produced a useless product-launch doc, and suggested scheduling a meeting with an email spammer.
The AI ported his MomentFrame iOS app from Swift to Flutter, doing rendering, geocoding, the in-app purchase flow, and driving the simulator to check its own screenshots; the app is on the App Store.
Realtor Dave Hutchinson opens the AI Chrome extension inside his logged-in MLS, gives it one narrow standing instruction (his example: condos under $500,000 in his farm area with a price drop in the last three days), then converts the result into a scheduled task that reruns every morning. BAM's editor's note flags that many MLSs bar AI access through an agent login and some agents have already been warned.
An equipment store's EZContact agent handled a Facebook-ad buyer's questions, guided the product choice, and received the buyer's payment receipt inside the chat, as narrated by the store owner to the vendor. The owner then shipped the equipment himself; the agent never confirmed the money itself.
