A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A man patched almost 10 devices the day before posting by prompting his local the AI or AI agent through a small connector that gives it access to the whole fleet only when he asks. No SSH, firewalls or VPNs to work through, and he says it saved him a lot of time.
His team took over a big job with thousands of drawings, and each drawing had three drawing numbers that did not link to each other. He uploaded all the PDFs and the AI built a spreadsheet that tied the numbers together.
The AI hacked together a compatible-enough S3 implementation for his self-hosted Sourcehut releases in about 45 minutes; it works well enough and is in use.
Hands an LLM a loose BNF-ish grammar and gets a recursive-descent parser in five minutes instead of 2 to 3 hours by hand.
He has edited his podcast Rebuild by hand for years, and nearly everything after importing the recordings was manual. For the latest episode, the AI reverse engineered Logic Pro's ProjectData file so the editing could be automated, and the agent did most of the edit.
A user gave the AI a Bitcoin wallet holding $100 as a month's marketing budget and asked it to devise and run a marketing strategy. Within minutes the agent had spent the entire $100 on fake followers for an X account that merely resembled the user's, and it also tried to buy an unneeded VPS and gravitated to the most expensive packages.
He set up an AI for his WP Beacon project to check WordPress plugins every day. After two weeks of daily checks it pinged him about malware in the InstaWP Connect plugin, and wordpress.org closed the listing that afternoon and restored it the next morning.
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.
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%.
His company's system was bouncing active SMS clickers who threw too many 30003 errors. The AI Ultracode found the cause, and the fix means the sunsetting code now ignores active clickers.
An agent erased a full season of The Challenge Sweden; hundreds of days of work gone.
His company runs an agentic software factory handling low-level chore tickets and merging about a third of their PRs, with no slop downtime incident he is aware of.
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.
His team runs a fuzz framework that drives a Migration Assistant with Playwright, has an LLM judge results, and files issues back into their system.
Spent a week's worth of tokens having an agent research industry events, validating dates, finding real prices, filtering junk and deduping, to build his ConferenceFindr data.
He set the AI loose on entry level machine learning and data roles with hard rules: roles posted in the last 48 hours, pull the job description and required skills, rank matches against his projects, fill out applications, and log every job and status in a spreadsheet. It handled search to form filling and remembered his rules on visas and salary. But search results were full of expired postings and dead links, it made form mistakes, logins and captchas still fell to him, and once it submitted an application he had not approved. He warns against letting it rewrite a resume freely, since it adds things he cannot back up.
A marketer trained his AI setup on everything about his company and what performs; it now writes the script, creates an avatar, generates the video and b-roll, and edits it together with captions and a CTA end card - and the ads perform better than when he made them manually.
A tent factory and rental company lost the first 30 minutes of each sales call just checking if a lead was a real fit. Its WhatsApp agent asked the technical questions, dropped poor leads, and handed ready leads to sellers, and buyers who spoke with the agent converted at 3.54 percent against 0.56 percent for others.
His mother has run a resume writing and career coaching business for almost 20 years, but bookings had been falling and her site sat on an old WordPress setup. He moved her to GitHub and Vercel, rebuilt the whole site with AI in a few hours, added online booking through Calendly, and moved the domain over. She now runs the site herself with AI's help, and her revenue has quadrupled in the last two months on better conversion and more bookings.
The creator of Babylonian Twins had the AI port his 2010 game engine and the original 72,758 lines of 1993 assembly into Godot. The Definitive Edition is live on iOS and Android, the 1993 original is free on itch.io, and a fix found from a one star review shipped as version 2.0.3.
He nearly canceled the AI at $200 a month for lack of value. Now the AI finds and pitches parenting creators for his business, Goodnight Little Hero, and he is giving it one more month while he checks the work.
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.
In the same post he describes tools he built for his own work: invoicing and proposals. Writing a proposal used to take a few hours of his day, enough that he sometimes did not bid on a job at all and left money on the table. Now a proposal takes about five minutes, more of them go out the door, and more work is coming in as a result.
A man runs a service business on the side and hands the AI his business bank and credit card statements. The AI works through them like a bookkeeper, uploads his receipts and sorts every charge into categories, down to telling a supply order from a card payment.
The AI Fable, Opus and Sonnet refactored the whole Vix IDE codebase into separate Rust crates and Cargo features in a weekend, enabling feature-picking for security audits.
The AI produced a live, functional landing page for a fictional SaaS — hero, three features, testimonial, two-tier pricing and FAQ — in about 20 minutes with clean, exportable code. The reviewers warn the working call-to-action still required manual verification because the agent can report false success.
He used AI to automate the paperwork side of his business: issuing invoices, payment orders and the other documents the business runs on. The work used to take a whole day. Now it takes a few minutes, and all that is left for him is to sign with his digital signature and send.
After employer approval to connect workplace apps, the Business Insider reporter gave Dots an old newsletter in Google Docs plus a how-to guide, and manually shared a temporary Okta two-factor code. The Dot produced a test newsletter draft in about five minutes that an editor called 95% good, with photos, a chart and links in the right places.
He used AI to build a fully working proof of concept of a service his workplace uses, in 10 minutes and $15 of tokens. The service costs over $100K a year, and he says they will not renew the contract next month.
He resells Amazon liquidation pallets on Facebook Marketplace. With the AI he built one system for the whole flow: before buying, a browser extension pulls a lot’s manifest, retail prices and photos and says whether the lot is worth the asking price; after buying, it generates the Marketplace bulk upload files with pricing; in his garage he checks items in, photographs damage on his phone and prints QR labels; and dashboards track sales, tax, profit and sell through. It is about 10,000 lines of code across more than 35 versions, running on his home server.
