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 Japanese YouTube creator's paid note documents the AI system he built on Oct 13, 2026 and runs on his own account: scheduled tasks pick a topic from his idea notebook, write the article to his style rules, generate the header image inside the built-in browser, publish to note, announce on X, then record views and send a nightly report. In its first three days it published three articles at noon daily. Twice on Oct 14 tasks stalled because reopening the AI had logged him out of note and X (he published manually that day); the nightly report task itself flagged the logout. He states plainly there are no view or revenue results yet.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
Since July 2026 a Japanese creator has run a political clip channel with a pipeline the AI built: it watches source channels, fetches new videos, transcribes them locally, picks highlights from voice peaks and wording, fixes subtitle typos and names, makes thumbnails and titles, exports long videos and Shorts, uploads them unlisted, then collects view and retention data to feed the next round. In 3.5 months it shipped 319 videos for about 1.05 million total views and 1,080 subscribers, though the median long video reached only 268 views; he publishes the failures too, including the agent claiming 'fixed' when it was not.
Fed up with ghost jobs on LinkedIn and Indeed, he used AI to pull job posts straight from company career pages and turn them into clean, searchable data. The result is a public job board holding 5.9 million jobs, including over 220,000 remote ones.
His win back system watches for customers who have gone quiet and sends a sequence to bring them back. Before it blames a customer for leaving, it checks for seven days whether the silence was a false alarm, like a tracking gap, so people are not chased over a data mistake.
Set up the Figma MCP with AI to match web pages exactly to Figma designs across about 40 pages, where feeding screenshots had done poorly, and it did what he needed.
He built Stackboard, a free Chrome new tab page that shows your own bookmarks as a board. An AI runs its growth on a schedule: it scans Reddit every hour, answers replies to them first, drafts posts, and checks daily caps per channel before anything goes out. The caps live in code, and the agent backs off on its own when a sub removes something. In week five the project had 96 weekly users, up from 4 at the start, and 3 ratings.
In the same CEO's US business line, an agent reviews the call-center operators' calls, transcripts and CRM results every day, then writes the human supervisor's task list with numbers and deadlines and sends each operator 3–4 small skills to fix from their own recent calls. Each skill is marked pass or fail every evening and closes after three consecutive passes; the agent only suggests — people decisions stay with people.
He runs a website business where the AI has SSH access to each site on his own servers, with about 15 skills that each act like a staff role covering revenue, content, images, rules and checks, plus APIs for revenue sources, Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. Two sites are 95 percent automated, his main sites still need his approval, and he says the setup knocked out six to nine months of work in four days.
