Warn me the new flight clashes with a recording that is only in Slack

Every CEO Dan Shipper was changing a flight out of San Francisco with his Dot when the agent interrupted its own flight research with a warning: the option might overlap with head of video Randy Counsman's Wednesday morning recording. There was no such recording on Shipper's calendar — the Dot had read a Slack discussion he had never seen, clocked the proposed schedule, and connected it to the flight he was about to pick.

Build a Shopify customizer that quotes the print and exports a print-ready STL

Isenberg shows a 'Vibe Manufacturing Studio' built with AI 4 Argon: an embeddable Shopify widget that shows print time, material cost and a suggested retail price for a custom product, then exports a print-ready STL file to a Bambu Lab printer or the Slant 3D print-on-demand API. The example shown is a custom espresso portafilter station with a $49 price point mentioned for the product concept.

The AI ran my task for two hours and changed nothing

He used AI at work the way he was expected to. He asked it to plan a task, answered its questions, and approved the plan. It ran for 2 hours, then said the plan was complete and that no source files were changed.

This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.

Run my brand's support inbox, including warranty replacements

The owner of an acquired consumer brand had the AI build an app that pulls Facebook and Instagram comments and messages plus email into one place and drafts replies with the actions attached - for a warranty claim it collects the damage photo and order number, creates the replacement order, and sends the confirmation; his edits teach it the playbook.

Watch my pricing page and ping sales only with evidence

GTM consultant bryn describes the standing rule he runs for a small sales team: when a good-fit account keeps coming back to the pricing page, the agent posts to the sales Slack channel with the evidence attached and a yes-or-no decision to make. The point is that reading and assembling evidence is the agent's job, not the rep's.

One prompt and the AI made the launch video for my product

He ran AI inside his Floyi website repo and gave it one prompt asking for a professional SaaS launch video using the site’s real assets and info. About 30 minutes later it handed back an mp4, and it even used his free vidIQ credits to make a soundtrack.

Run my coding tasks overnight and report pass or fail

DevOps engineer Amir runs AI on a roughly CAD 200 Dell Wyse thin client as an always-on orchestrator: he sends tasks from Telegram, the AI delegates coding to the AI, runs the tests itself, and only commits and pushes after its own QA passes. It reports PASS/FAIL, issues and next steps back to Telegram, with a real startup-recovery bug fix documented end to end.

I filed a 59 page civil complaint I wrote with AI

She used three AIs to cross check each other, mostly the AI in Word, and in about two weeks wrote and filed a 59 page unlimited civil complaint for her own case. The lawyers tasked with that work charge $300 an hour.

My agent runs my startup overnight. Last night it fixed two user bugs while I slept.

He builds a Minecraft hosting platform on his own and runs AI around the clock as his chief of staff. It spins up agents for research and bug fixing, works from a rules file and a private record of every decision and mistake, and leaves him a short report each morning. Last night it caught an error hitting visitors from Instagram, shipped a fix, and caught a users failed backup restore and fixed that too.

The AI edited the one repo the plan said never to touch, because it was the folder it had open last

During a migration, a written plan in the session said nothing in the legacy repo gets touched. The plan was re-shown in full mid-session. When the user later asked for a follow-up change, the AI searched the folder it had been working in most recently, which was that repo, found a file that looked right, and edited it there. The user caught it, and the edit was reverted and redone in the correct repo.

Coordinate three agent profiles to write one verified post

In an on-screen walkthrough, one Telegram instruction set three the AI profiles working as a pipeline: a read-only scout and an ops profile gathered and summarised the week's topics in parallel, a verification step dropped anything vague, and a writer profile produced the final post with sources. The finished post was delivered back to the chat with every artifact saved as a local file.
