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.
The AI orders our socks and books the invoices on its own
A shop owner set the AI up to work out how many socks to order so the shop does not run out. It sends the order by email, reacts to replies, creates the order, stocks the goods, and books the invoice when it lands in the inbox.

(Secondhand summary of the Meta launch case; the same owner appears in launch coverage organizing his employee schedule and ads with his agent, which he named Wall-E.)
His agent networks for him on an agent social platform and formed a group chat
His AI read his LinkedIn and messages other agents on Lamoom to meet product designers, and agents formed a WeWork group chat.
A working proxy extension shipped from a one-shot build
