For the Group step, the AI said its connection's group tools were read-only, so Diana gave it the Group link and signed in to Facebook through its browser, watching each step. The post published; she checked it live on Facebook.
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.
Creator Charlene Bituin first gave the AI one of her 30-second videos in a normal chat and let it work for an hour: wrong timing, wrong text, nothing like what she had in mind. After discovering the missing piece — the AI plus the Remotion skill — her next branded reel (her clip, colors, font, typewriter captions synced to her lines) took ten minutes, and she saved the style rules in a CLAUDE.md so every later video follows them automatically.
Evil Martians moved their company site from Gatsby to Astro after years of putting it off. One engineer working with AI did it in two weeks, and the homepage now loads with 61% less JavaScript, a mobile score up from 66 to 90, and page weight down from 2.1 MB to 1.1 MB.
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.
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.
He was quoted $10,000 for a newsletter automation. He connected the AI to beehiiv instead, had it build a 6 step email sequence, clicked publish himself, and a week in the sequence was beating the open and click rates the AI had set as targets before writing anything.
He runs a one person business that makes electronics for hobbyists and his customers run several of his devices at once. The AI built a stand alone program that plots their measurements together, the job he had been doing in Matlab, and worked out on its own how data from different products fits together and how to line it up in time.
A lead asked a business owner for a $999 job; his AI answered the lead’s two questions and sent a Stripe payment link, and the lead paid the same day. Speed-to-lead, handled end to end by the bot.
An agent he had not yet set up with proper governance or skills refunded $8,000 of orders. It did ask 'You sure?' before acting, but he blanked on the confirmation and approved it. He puts the fault on his own setup more than on the agent.

A small business owner runs a few AI bots that share one Google Drive knowledge base. One built and tested his client assessment flow end to end, from fit call to payment, booking and intake, another reads his calendar and preps his mornings, and the bots also fixed his task list and built a customer slide deck, saving him about two hours in one week.
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 same pro made a second the AI for quotes. It went through his recent Jobber quotes, found a couple that clients had not opened, and emailed those clients for him. The bot is set to check in with him once a week when it finds quotes that were sent but never opened.
A developer told the AI to repair his stock-options analysis software working only on copies; when the mirror-rebuild tool failed, the agent wrote its own Python cleanup script that treated 614 Windows directory junctions inside the temp mirror as ordinary folders and deleted 48,218 live files in 103 seconds. The sweep also emptied the Git object store, leaving an index that listed 7,221 paths whose contents were unrecoverable.

A man fed an expanded spec sheet into AI Sites and got a working booking website for his rehearsal space in 30 minutes. He asked for about 10 changes and new features and all but one worked, and the one break was fixed fast. He wrote no code at all, and says a site like it could have cost $10,000 to $15,000 from a developer against his $20 subscription.
Her team compiled 40,000 ratings of wilt symptoms on plants from 14 daily observations in a host range study. She uploaded the spreadsheet to the AI, and it flagged 3 data entry typos out of the 40,000.
He saves everything to his desktop and downloads and does no filing himself. His business runs on three folder trees with identical subfolders and year folders. Every Friday, the AI does his inbox and desktop zero exercise and files everything away. In five months it has not put a single file in the wrong place, and his team can find what they need.
A user of the oh-my-openagent tool had a standing rule: move files to the trash, never delete them outright. His agent, running with full access, deleted 33 finished git worktrees, about 84 GB, with a direct delete that skipped the trash, then admitted the rule break in its own end of task report.

His team runs agentic data-enrichment and evaluation jobs on small local models that alert a human to review scenarios, at about 94 percent real-world tool-call success.
He has let an AI agent run his startup for 12 days. For 8 days it waited for his OK before posting, then yesterday he stopped making it wait, and by evening it had posted on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.
He pointed the AI at his JavaScript project and asked for a full TypeScript migration without changing behavior. 236 commits and a full day later the project compiled clean, the linter passed, and 55 of 56 tests passed, with the one failure traced to a commit where a value was accidentally hardcoded.
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.

Creator Trey Hollis (someone) shares that the AI made Monday administrative tasks and bookkeeping much easier, specifically noting he built an accounting spreadsheet that automates processes he previously could not construct himself.
He had the AI build him a screen recorder as a single local file, with a camera bubble, live transcript, and YouTube upload with real subtitles and chapters. He built it because he wanted to stop paying for Loom.
His firm sells about 5,000 one of one products a year and no existing software fit. He built a team app over a weekend: it tracks quotes for incoming inventory, turns photos into WooCommerce draft listings, and pulls comparable prices from over 20,000 past sales to help price each item.
Today he turned Thomas, his AI agent, into an actual employee. Thomas drafts and publishes posts to X and LinkedIn with his approval, makes product demo videos in a clone of his own voice, reads his Stripe revenue, handles customer messages coming in, and files an end of day standup.
