A creator who could not afford an editor paid for the AI Max and built his own post production studio, about 31,000 lines of code. Its smart cutting takes his raw filming and builds a DaVinci Resolve timeline for him, saving about 95% of the cutting time, and it also generates shorts and uploads with titles, descriptions, chapters and tags.
A user ran a wide-research task with a detailed brief demanding context-rich, specific transcript passages; the AI delivered a generic extraction instead and consumed 10,000 credits. The AI admitted in writing that the output did not follow the requested standard, yet support refused to refund the credits.
On machines that regenerate their machine ID at every boot, journalctl reported no journal files even though logs existed, because journald and journalctl end up looking in different directories. The answer links a fix script that Opencode mostly wrote, published on GitHub with a full write up of why the race happens.
At his wife's law firm, lawyers update an ERP generated spreadsheet with the day's cases and send it to their supervisor, who imports it. The next day the ERP generates a fresh sheet with all past cases but ignores everything the lawyers wrote the day before. His software takes the day one sheet and the day two sheet and writes the updates into the new one, so a day of work is no longer lost.
DeepSeek upgraded gnarly, exploitable PHP 7.x code to fully patched PHP 8.3 in about 15 minutes for a few dimes of tokens.
Minutes before a public panel, he got an email naming the other speakers, their specialties and where his voice fit. Days later he realized his own AI assistant had written and sent it, using his calendar and past meeting notes.
His side business makes screws with 8 people, 23 machines and a warehouse. Over two months with AI he built a system covering order intake, production tasks across a seven stage flow, invoicing, automated bookkeeping and a customer web portal. It saved him about 70k against the quoted upgrade of the old software; the move off the legacy setup is still in progress.
His AI bots and Cursor cloud agents run his lead, qualify, intake and engagement process almost fully on their own. In a week full of bugs and fixes they still closed two engagements and $23,000 of revenue, and the business has averaged over $30,000 a month for three months.
Added the AI rules and skills to split Terraform PRs into the smallest mergeable units, resulting in cases like 40 PRs with 38 approved and merged immediately.
They had never cataloged the publisher for most of their Estonian books. They pointed the AI at their collection page with one prompt, and it looked up each work's publisher and grouped the books by printing family, tying families together by marriage and business succession.
