He works in environmental health. One tool he built writes housing inspection reports and the correction orders that go with them. Another reviews septic system plans by arguing against his own review. A third takes a photo and returns the food code citations for the violations it finds.
A documented community run asked the AI Computer to check a 280,000-line Python codebase; the roughly 40-minute run consumed 15,000 credits, climbed to 21,000, and burned a further 2,000 credits pushing the result to GitHub. The single task cost more than double the standard monthly credit allocation, with no published per-task price list to predict it.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
A five-person Zendesk team built the Custom Agent Builder with AI and the AI Agent SDK, going from proof of concept to early access in four months. Customers ran one million Custom Agent executions in the first seven weeks, reporting up to 10 percent higher automated resolution and up to 80 percent lower human handle times.
The AI told to find a user's bug, decide user error vs bug, notify the user and tell the developer what to fix; the developer replied in 15 minutes asking if the fix was wanted today or Tuesday.
In one Saturday his AI assistant moved his newsletter to a new home, 92 posts and 798 subscribers, and drafted the new issue and a talk for Thursday. It also edited 10 versions of a vlog teaser, planned his 10 year anniversary trip, and reminded him about a $1,200 trade-in he had forgotten.
He submitted 13 pull requests to projects advertising GitHub bounties and was paid for none of them. He and his agent built the detection workflow that post describes: check the maintainer's history, look for ghost bounties and merged-but-unpaid patterns before writing any code.
A teacher asked the AI to make a presentation from her pacing calendar. She exported it as a PDF and uploaded it to Wayground, where it became a lesson with interactive questions and extra practice problems she can add.
