My AI keeps our app-versions help page updated by itself

In a diary aside, Manton Reece says his mostly-idle home the AI server automatically updates Micro.blog's 'latest app versions' help page. It checks the currently shipped version and whether an app is in review, while he still writes the release notes by hand.

I built my client a live dashboard in a day with AI

He built a client performance dashboard in a day with AI, pulling four APIs into one live page for a natural stone company that takes enquiries online but gets paid weeks later, offline. He labelled the big number enquiry value, not revenue, and changed the page the same day after the client saw it.

I automated our hiring, I just reply yes and it books the interview

Job applications from a Google Form land in his spreadsheet on their own and each one is emailed to him to review. If he replies yes, the applicant gets his scheduling link; once they book they get joining instructions and a reminder an hour before. He runs the business next to a full time job and two kids in diapers, so every message it sends for him counts.

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.

Built a 'Piggy Bank' agent that scans Messenger, Instagram, email, and card

Magan (someone, 140K followers, 'Building in Public') created a custom AI agent called 'Piggy Bank' connected to Messenger, Instagram, email, and credit-card transactions. It scans sources to find all subscriptions (which she can cancel), reads Instagram DM chat history to track brand-deal payments, and generates a ledger showing how much she's owed, plus spending insights and payment reminders.

My business agent answers my Airbnb guests using my own past replies

A host runs five the AI profiles as a small staff. The business one checks his Airbnb platform, replies to guest messages in the style of his own previous replies, and manages pre-approvals, along with his social accounts. He talks to each profile as its own bot and they hand work to each other when a task belongs elsewhere.
