A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Mailing thousands of people brought hundreds of auto replies that nobody read. The AI scanned them read only, flagged who had left or changed roles, and updated Mailchimp, leaving a cleaner list and better deliverability.
He used AI to mod a program he uses. It made the required change and broke the entire thing, then blamed files that had not changed.
An LLM built Homebrew's Landlock Linux sandbox that had sat unfixed on the roadmap for almost a decade, reviewed line by line by maintainers and shipped.
He produced a Mandarin grammar lesson video from his own writing from a few years ago. The AI made the visuals with Remotion, the AI did the drawings and BytePlus TTS did the voices, and the finished lesson is up on YouTube.
Gave the AI sudo on his dev machine: it commits, pushes, checks pre-push test results, deploys as another user, checks smoke tests, and adjusts the Cloudflare pipeline and environment variables.
In February he told the AI what road he was taking and when he was setting off. The AI picked lunch places within a 20 minute detour that he would reach at lunchtime, 10 of them spread over 50 miles, with an import into Google Maps.
He is letting the AI run his websites, with him watching over it. Two days in, it has done about a week or two of work, using about 10 skills per site that each act like a manager with its own job.
Used the AI and the AI heavily to research, cross-check, draft and review a complete AI data center guide, now published online.
Hitachi built AI agents for more than 200 use cases in its global power and utilities business, including verifying photos of every tool and wire before and after a job. Frontline worker productivity rose 400 percent and safety improved.
A solo litigator had about 15,000 pages of discovery to dig through for a summary judgment motion. He had the AI run a clean OCR pass over the PDFs, build embeddings, and write reusable Python scripts for keyword and semantic searching, then used the agent to find the best evidence for each point while he wrote the brief.
