Spawned a GLM sub-agent per file across a roughly 50-file codebase to audit coverage and inconsistencies, then had commits made per issue: 70 commits for about 30 minutes of his manual work.
A creator documents the system his content business actually runs on: a main the AI chat ('HQ') dispatches jobs to director chats for two YouTube channels, posts on five social platforms and three SEO projects — 66 jobs and 195 chats on his board — with state in files, job cards and evidence receipts, a second AI reviewing everything before it posts, and 59 scheduled tasks doing the posting and merging. One traced job went from a radar-flagged topic to posts live on all five platforms, three hours late after Chrome dropped, with every URL logged.
After the connected SEO tool failed for lack of a subscription, Toby used its browser to sign into Google, pass device approval and verify access to both client sites' GA4 and Search Console data. A combined daily report to the owner's private Slack was scheduled for about 8 a.m. Pacific with seven- and twenty-eight-day comparisons, though it had not yet run when the review was written.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
He runs Svippit, a small shop platform for creators. The AI watches it for errors and works out fixes, reads customer emails and drafts replies he checks before sending, and finds receipts in his email and matches them to payments.
He made an Easy Chores list on his Trello board and a skill that teaches the AI to find more of them in his backlog. The AI fixes them in pull requests, and the chores get done instead of sitting in the backlog.
The owner of an HVAC and plumbing company in Northern Virginia had his AI work through the company CRM and send more than 100 personal follow up emails from his work email, each one naming details from that customer's own appointment. Replies came in the same day. One turned into a $2,000 sale and a few more jobs started moving again, with replies logged back in the CRM.
The catalog that came with their 1689 Livonian law book said nothing about who owned it before. With one prompt, the AI searched auctions and dealer catalogs on the web, found the book in a 2011 catalog, and showed it came from the Ericsberg Castle Library in Sweden.
Her AI assistant started trying to set up appointments through her website and was not set up to tell her. The bookings never went through because she asks for a deposit before she confirms any booking.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
Andy Bennett built Helm, a Mac, iPhone and iPad job tracker with CV tailoring, with AI writing all of the code and most of the design across 641 commits and 21 plans. The first working Mac version landed in about eight hours of commits on September 11; both apps are now in TestFlight beta.
Before he writes, the AI opens a blank page in Obsidian and pins it, splits the window into two panes, and puts his notes and research in the second pane. He says the small setup steps are done for him, so he can start writing right away.
