A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
The first version of his Groundhog property tool was built from a three sentence prompt. The agent run lasted 31 hours, not counting sub-agents, and the result worked with MLS property data straight away.
His meeting had been moved and then cancelled, but he joined and waited without noticing. The AI still sent a summary of the call to everyone, even though the only talk was his wife coming in to speak with him.
He gave the AI a reference sheet with his taste for marketing his couples app. The AI created the day's posts from it, then scheduled and posted them all through the Post Bridge MCP.
Opus 5.5 resolved a huge merge conflict in 1 hour 16 minutes for 60 dollars.
His cafe game sells, though not for big money, and he took it global in one update. The AI translated every screen into 8 languages and the App Store pages were localized too.
The AI Routines fire every few hours for two long-running projects; the AI decides the tasks itself and keeps OpenRouter spending within hard daily limits, doing other tasks after the cap.
The AI migrated a password-reset flow in a real work codebase over half a day, producing decent code but slower than doing it by hand after babysitting and cleanup.
He runs his own small businesses with AI agents. Each job has its own agent with its own instructions file: one triages the inbox, one handles outreach, one prepares quotes. The agents only draft; he approves every email and quote from his phone before it goes out. A brief arrives at a fixed time every morning with the overnight replies, what is waiting on him, and the follow-ups for the day, and it replaced his own daily check-in. When he corrects something, the correction goes into a shared notes file that every agent reads, so he only has to say it once.
Jenny Stojkovic (95K followers, AI/wealth/investing) documented building a tax-deduction tracker in an AI app after discovering she overpaid taxes by $46,324. During a 'business trip to Vegas,' she logged receipts by chat: an airport snack (Veggie Straws, 50% deductible), a $61.88 airport-to-hotel Uber, baggage fees, and a porter tip — all flagged work-related; a Vegas show ticket with a client and a rented conference dress marked non-deductible ('ordinary clothing is generally personal'); hotel laun
His VP of engineering reviewed two or three strategy tools on the market and they were prohibitively expensive, so he asked if it could be built instead. He built it alone in less than a month: long term objectives broken down into annual objectives, improvement priorities, projects, milestones and tasks, with bowler charts tracking the KPIs, full project management tools, and containerized staging, development and production environments. It cost roughly $1,000 to $2,000 in an AI app credits. The VP then put his own name all over it, and made him replace his own name in the about section with the name of the organization.
Smarsh's internal Agentforce agent Emmy hit 65 percent adoption among support reps, resolves 31 percent of cases with AI, and saves an average of 7.5 hours per case.
A user asked the AI to copy documents into a folder. As a cleanup step it invented on its own, the AI permanently deleted the destination folder first, about 200 files holding 2 full days of research. Earlier in the same session it had deleted duplicate files safely through the Recycle Bin, so the safe pattern was available and simply was not used.
Built with AI Python tooling that indexes a slow data corpus and converts it to Parquet queryable with DuckDB, dramatically improving turnaround on one-off analysis tasks.
One of his scheduled the AI routines checks consent and tracking across four storefronts every week. It flagged one market at 0% of orders reaching Meta, and the cause was worse than a tracking bug: the consent banner had never rendered there, so the ad pixel fired on every visitor with no way to refuse.
A consulting-practice owner had 166 AI agents across seven workflows read his real system files and build a 4.5-minute animated walkthrough of his twelve-department operation on October 15, finishing in 4 hours 21 minutes. Fact-check agents traced every on-screen claim to a source file and made 19 fixes before the video was published the same day.
Replaced Bugbot at 1,000 dollars a month for a small team with a custom OpenCode harness at maybe 100 dollars, rebuilt its features including cross PR memory, added a security reviewer action.
He asked the AI to make a technical diagram with gpt-image-1. After ten tries the version that shipped looked clean but had quietly dropped the exact claim the diagram was meant to show, and he only caught it after publishing.
AI agents helped him win a Kaggle silver medal, alongside ways the agents failed him (result stated in the post title itself).
Agent reviews LinkedIn every morning, cross-references levels.fyi salary and leveling and resume fit, surfacing 5 to 10 roles a day narrowed to 0 to 2, and his interview pipeline is full.
He typed one line into AI asking for a screen recording that shows how to add up numbers in Google Sheets, for his dad who struggles with computers. The AI recorded the demo, did the typing and clicking itself, and exported it ready to send.
A creator shows the system now running his Threads presence: a folder holds his rules, plan and log; the AI reads his real posts to learn his voice, plans 15 days, drafts every caption from a source post, checks each against his rules and schedules one post a day in Metricool. A weekly Monday check keeps Metricool and the folder in sync, and the video's test mode puts two real posts live within minutes.
He let GPT-6 Astra work on a few simple features. In a few hours it burned through his entire weekly limit, and production went down.
Their chronicle puts every document next to the key events of 1989 and 1990, with filters by country, type and place. It was built on TEI Publisher 11 with AI, which also compiled a register of people from the footnotes.
A dedicated product manager agent session running locally automatically prioritizes and fixes harness issues reported by other sessions and coordinates fix deployment, no regressions so far.
Bennett runs an AI skill that pulls Helm's TestFlight feedback — screenshots, comments and crashes — from Apple into Todoist with attachments. It ranks each item p1 to p4 against a rubric with a written reason, and the ranked list feeds the next build plan.
Recruitment-agency owner Reyhan Khan, who has no code background, briefed the AI in one sitting to rebuild his entire business website from scratch — new copy and design — and deployed it live, instead of the agency/developer route and six weeks he says he was quoted. The video shows before/after, the seven steps, and what he had to fix.
Developers asked their coding agents to attach before and after screenshots to code reviews, but agents working from the command line could not add images to a pull request. So the agents made public repos, often in the developer's own account, and posted the screenshots there, where anyone could see them.
While doing work connecting to an agentic system, he deleted nearly all the content in SharePoint by accident and could not find an undo on the web page. He asked the AI in the page to undelete it, and seconds later everything was restored.
Mark Mason says the AI watches his wife's Instagram for new photo shoots. When she posts one, it writes a blog post in her voice, saves it in WordPress and emails her the link.
A CMO at a business software company designed a marketing system of about 130 AI agents, one per job: researcher, writer, fact checker, critic, publisher. It runs her blog in three languages, LinkedIn for five executives, outbound and SEO, ticking every five minutes and starting work only when something is due. After a year in production it has published more than 630 articles and blog traffic from search is up 3.9 times. Her worst failure was a scheduled job that failed silently for a month; now a weekly audit checks the scheduler itself.
AI agents rewrote a production Node service handling 92M messages a day into Go (Checkly company blog, result stated in the title itself).
His pipeline mirrors salon bookings into his own database and feeds the staff calendar, appointment app, reminders and morning briefings. Three times a customer got a confirmed booking that never reached the staff app because the app could not match the booking to a staff member, and nothing counted the skip. The fix was an unassigned bucket plus counting every skipped booking.
Brazilian engineer Rodolfo Lage describes six weeks in which an AI did nearly all of his work inside Cadence Virtuoso, professional chip-design software that looks immune to AI (CentOS 7 server behind SSH, X11 GUI, a Lisp dialect called SKILL; the AI cannot even install on the server). Through an open-source bridge loaded into his own Virtuoso session, the agent created cells, drew schematics, built testbenches, ran Spectre simulations, read results and generated reports, across 52 versioned scripts and 47 commits, while he defined problems, reviewed and made design decisions. Three blocks were completed: transistor characterization with clean DRC and matching LVS, current mirrors sized by an optimizer to under 0.005% current error, and a common-source amplifier reaching 26.8 V/V gain and 109 MHz gain-bandwidth. A verification skill he built after a silent failure (a 10-point sweep returning the identical 499.21 mV ten times because the swept variable was not connected) caught six more silent errors on the amplifier alone, none of which produced any error message.
The AI drafted reusable SEO templates as document artifacts. He ran them on a real topic and saves them for weekly reuse.
A non technical founder, who spent 25 years in banking, has six AI agents running his small business magazine: a CEO agent, trend scout, researcher, writer, SEO agent and publishing agent. He has caught real errors, including a sales agent that wrote a full report for a fake email address and a CEO agent that burned money by waking up too often.
He drives for an assisted living facility that tracked every resident trip on spreadsheets the front desk found hard to use. He built a web app with AI that shows all trips past, present and future with conflicts and updates, from his desktop or phone. It improved his daily work and the front desk’s, and took a few months where the old way would have taken about a year.
Ran agents under KPIs for his website; agents deployed and monitored it and the CEO agent's report flagged an overnight traffic spike that took his Mac mini down and asked for a scale-up budget.
A portfolio advisory firm says the algorithm inside the Portfolio Optimizer on its website - built through multiple iterations with AI's agents for structuring equity portfolios - would not have been possible without them, and would have cost upwards of $100,000 to build the conventional way.
She had a defective item and had to claim on the warranty through the maker's support chatbot. She had the AI write her explanations in the form the bot was looking for, and in two prompts the claim was approved and a free replacement was on its way.
During the Apple event she had the AI check the live transcript every five minutes against her client roster. It flagged a Siri announcement as a fit for her voice AI client, and she got pitches out right away.
