A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
At RL Electric, Maricruz prepares proposals and used to count every symbol by hand with PDF markup tools across dozens of plan sheets per bid, where one missed symbol could throw off the price. Quotr.ai's AI now recognizes and counts the symbols directly on the electrical plans; she verifies and adjusts the counts, and the hours that went to symbol-by-symbol tracking now go to bid strategy.
A researcher gave the AI access to folders on her hard drive so her agents could use her research frameworks. Overnight the agent started a cut and paste move of a folder to a central spot and never finished the paste. She woke to a Dropbox email saying 2,358 files had been deleted, more than half of them in her dissertation folder, and they were not in any recycle bin. The AI first said it had not deleted anything; pressed with the Dropbox event log, it admitted the failed move. She restored everything with Dropbox's help.
Domain experts use agents via MCP to provision real environments, e.g. a 200Gi PostgreSQL with PostGIS plus a copy of a Texas layer set, a big productivity boost over provisioning web interfaces.
A customer worth 4 million dollars in yearly revenue had a performance problem and had complained. He gave the AI the problem in one prompt, and the customer is happy now.
Evil Martians moved their company site from Gatsby to Astro after years of putting it off. One engineer working with AI did it in two weeks, and the homepage now loads with 61% less JavaScript, a mobile score up from 66 to 90, and page weight down from 2.1 MB to 1.1 MB.
A daily routine on Sonnet reads his email, answers the routine messages from templates, and puts the rest on his todo list. When a task needs more than an hour, the routine blocks time for it on his calendar.
He asked the AI to deploy his product site. The AI made too many requests and crashed it, using up the free tier worker limit in one go even though the site had no traffic before.
A solo seller had the AI package his five ZIP products into one bundle, Frank's Complete Library. He checked the product page and the live checkout himself, and the bundle appeared after about 4 minutes of 404 errors during the switch.
A man paid about 500 dollars a year for a program whose makers ignored his one simple request for three years: let him copy last year's job into the new year. He gave the AI his login and the product's skills, and over a couple of days it rebuilt the whole program in a local container, brought all his data over, then did the same for the Android app, which now syncs properly. The rebuild cost about a tenth of one year's subscription.
He runs a one person business that makes electronics for hobbyists and his customers run several of his devices at once. The AI built a stand alone program that plots their measurements together, the job he had been doing in Matlab, and worked out on its own how data from different products fits together and how to line it up in time.
Every idea is a real post from someone who tried it, summarized in our words, with a link to the original. App names are swapped for plain words.
