A security researcher pointed GPT-5.6 Sol at MikroTik RouterOS 7.23.3 with a goal prompt to find a path from no login to remote code execution. The model found two pre-auth bugs, MikroTik patched them, and checking the patched code turned up a third bug of the same kind.
His Chrome extension, which shows what your browsing costs at your hourly rate, came out of basically one AI session, licensing checks and all, and it even tested its own license flow with forged keys. It is live at $8.99. Sales so far: zero. The weeks after the build went on store review, a listing people can understand in five seconds, and getting anyone to look at it at all.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
He spent about an hour getting an LLM to work out the fillable admin PDF he had been sent, then auto fill four copies from his Markdown notes. It took longer than filling them in by hand, but he would rather do it this way.
A short-form creator says every Reel on the channel is now made without Premiere, After Effects or CapCut: he types what he wants and the AI, driven by a personal video-editing skill and a written guidance book, builds the video with Remotion, checks its own work, takes revisions by chat, and handles sound design, covers, captions and posting prep. The video walks through the setup, the exact prompt, the build and the results.
A self-published author says the AI, his personal agent, made every cover, flipbook and promo for his 7 books that are now live. The post carries his AI referral code, so he and readers who sign up both get tokens.
Independent musician someone lists three career assists from the someone agent: an automatic playlist pitcher that researched genre-matched Spotify playlists and sent cold emails resulting in a placement, an EPK refresh that auto-checked streaming stats and compiled clickable social links, and data-driven venue pitching across new cities. No compensation from Meta disclosed; referral code IH600W shared.
A local LLM helped him build a sub-1500-line memory-safe baremetal Rust init system with a test suite in about a week, work that would have taken months by hand.
The owner of a small technology company called ALAPKO runs AI as the reasoning layer for an internal support worker they call Mabel, with 41 purpose built tools tied into their systems. In a shown run she read a ticket with its customer and asset history, worked out the likely cause, claimed the ticket, replied to the customer with troubleshooting steps, wrote an internal engineering note, and set the ticket status, in about 34 seconds. Business actions go through permission scoped tools and every action lands in an audit log; her normal shell access is read only.
He has a mobile app with crash reporting through Sentry. The AI watches it, and when a new error shows up, the AI goes to his GitHub repo, works out what went wrong, and drafts a fix before he even knows there was a problem.
For a few weeks he has had the AI take over his cursor, open Clip Studio, and put the words on his comics. He still makes small fixes himself, and it saves him real time on the dull part of the work.
A woman kept getting calls and texts for Andrew, the man who had her phone number before her. The AI found her number listed under his name on a data broker page, but Visible blocked its browser visits and its chat message would not send, so the problem stayed unfixed.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
He asked his AI to edit an entire video and it did the work, from picking the takes to lowering the music in the quiet parts. The video is the third in his series about building his toolstack with an agent.
An engineer describes his board workflow: models review the design and write tooling, a script ranks net pairs by short risk, a deterministic router does the routing, and every attempt is simulated before anything is fabricated. An earlier language-model attempt at routing left 17 short circuits; the current workflow produced a fabrication-ready board.
On his morning dog walks, Mete Ünal calls his Dot for about ten minutes and brain-dumps everything on his mind. By the time he is home, the Dot has spun up separate threads for the items, filed an article idea into his notes, tracked landing-page feedback and started on his Japan visa process.
He gave a farm of Opus 5.5 agents one job, make money, and mostly stayed out of it. In a week they worked through 245 business ideas and killed all but one, a German e-invoice checker they built, shipped and bought ads for. It got 68 visitors and checked 6 real invoices, and took in $0.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
Josh Pigford started FirstIndex, a service that gets companies found on Google and in an AI app answers, at $1,000 a month. Within a month it was at about $570,000 a year in recurring revenue with about 30 clients, and the AI does most of the delivery work.
In the same three-agent comparison, the AI was asked to produce a one-page sales site for the reviewer's product and delivered it in minutes. Presented as a chaptered test ('Test 2: a one-page sales site') in the Oct 17 video.
He is a consultant, and the free apps he and his team used to track time for the official timesheet all annoyed him. So he made his own time tracker, ConClock, with AI, and it is already at version 0.7.2.
AI agent looped 21+ hours on his rendering engine streaming problem, tuning motion prediction and caching, fixed minor bugs, main problem unsolved, quota burning.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
The AI helps him put GA4 and Microsoft Clarity tags live, with reviews and confirmations built in so he can check the event triggers fire. Cross checking the two tools showed bots being lumped into direct traffic.
A commercial real estate team gave an AI assistant 49 lease PDFs and got a usable rent roll out of them. The case opens a training session on handing real estate busywork to connected AI tools.
His wife runs a PHP site on their server to manage her business. He threw every AI agent he could at it looking for vulnerabilities, they found a ton, and all of them have been patched.
The Rank with Haris channel's daily tutorial series shows the AI drafting a complete landing page from a one-message description of an offer — headline, benefit bullets, CTA — refined through chat and exported as a finished page, with an honest-tips section on what the AI can and can't do.
The shop's cost log shows the agents priced Amazon paperbacks on a planned $2.32 print cost when the actual charge was $2.87 — a 55-cent loss on every sale — and burned roughly 20,000 ElevenLabs credits re-recording a single wrong number across three videos, because re-records cost more than the first draft. By day 10 the shop had spent $42.60 with $0 coming in.

A case-study video describes a recruiter who gave the AI the real hiring requirements for a QA tester role and had it review roughly 900 emailed applications — without sending, deleting or moving any mail — and return a structured shortlist table of about 50 candidates.
He ran AI on the task with 6 agents at a time, about 75 agents in total over about 6 days. They produced transcriptions of tens of millions of handwritten images and indexed them all.
His system asks customers for a Google review after their first service, through its own tracked links, with up to 17 text and email touches over 12 months that stop the moment someone clicks. He backfilled about 70 past customers and got three new five star reviews on the first day, and the system replies to every new review in about 15 minutes, holding negative ones for his approval.
Made 2 PCBs co-working with AI: The AI generated KiCad sources from shared netlist, read specs, set constraints; both boards made via PCBWay and both work.
