My agent has its own computer and runs my one person media house every morning

He gives the agent his ideal customer and one pain point. Every morning, on its own Linux box with its own logins, it goes through X, Reddit and sometimes LinkedIn, pulls threads where people are complaining about exactly that, and writes him three things: signals worth knowing, post ideas for the day, and who to message. He reads, picks, and posts.

The AI made the post and Shorts; a second agent had to post them to Naver

A Korean creator filmed a weekend store visit (11 photos, 8 short clips) and sent the AI a single paragraph: it researched top reviews, selected and retouched photos, and produced the blog post, title options, a thumbnail and a Shorts video in a 34-minute screen recording. Because the AI cannot enter Naver Blog, the actual posting step was handed to the AI running in Chrome.

The AI turns each podcast episode into a short video on its own

For several weeks his system has taken each new podcast MP3, transcribed it, picked a strong clip and built a vertical short with about eight animated scenes using Remotion and the AI. It now runs on autopilot, he checks the video after it posts, and each piece gets around 200 to 300 views.
