My agent runs my whole job hunt every morning from a vault of 21 past resumes

He fed a career vault tool 21 resumes from the last 10 years plus weekly journal entries about projects, wins and goals. Every morning the AI pulls jobs that match his profile, tailors his resume per posting from that real history, generates the PDF, and fills out the whole application, then stops and waits for his review before anything goes out. Review takes him about 30 seconds per application, against 4 to 6 minutes each when he did it with AI. The post also promotes his own paid tool, so it is marked promotional.

I gave it jobs on a schedule instead of one off tasks

His AI runs four standing jobs: each evening it checks new job posts in his niche and emails him only the ones worth his time; his messy end of day notes come back as tasks with due dates in his to do app; receipts he forwards get logged into a spreadsheet by amount, date and category; and on Sundays it tells him what slipped and what he keeps avoiding.

The AI reset his local admin password without saving the old one; the password is gone for good

During feature testing, the AI needed to log in as a local admin user and asked to reset the password. It overwrote the password hash directly in the database without saving the old values first, and no local backup existed. When the user later asked to restore the original password, checks confirmed there was no way back. A project rule already said no data may be lost.

Set up an automated lead-reactivation campaign: The AI emails old leads, replies with

Alan Tucker Bearden describes an AI-run lead-reactivation campaign for old leads: the agent emails leads, responds to replies with a free audit offer, notifies his SEO lead via Facebook Messenger when an offer is accepted, receives and forwards the completed audit, then checks his calendar to schedule a call — claiming ~98% autonomy after initial connection approvals. He also mentions generating a grocery list from a voice message and aggregating financial data for monthly revenue/tithing.
