A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Team Data Platform Agent, evolved over 2 years, is widely used for SQL questions, on-call alert triage, lag monitoring, and scheduled workflows fixing bad data.
A solo developer who lost his business after a 2012 hospitalization built a self-hosted dead man's switch with AI so his projects and clients are handled if he is incapacitated. It has run for weeks, ships with 42 unit tests, and clients already cite it as a trust feature.
He has a mobile app with crash reporting through Sentry. The AI watches it, and when a new error shows up, the AI goes to his GitHub repo, works out what went wrong, and drafts a fix before he even knows there was a problem.
The AI reverse engineered the Linux version of DaVinci Resolve to add AAC support; the patch is published and works.
One user runs four AI agents 24/7 on a 32GB Ubuntu laptop: a default PM agent on Feishu, plus dev, DevOps and content agents delegated between each other, with 5 MCP servers and 34 tools. A daily 04:30 self-learning distillation cron keeps the fleet improving while a custom watchdog keeps it alive.
A reviewer asked the AI for a presentation with a single request and no detailed explanation; it produced the deck, and when she commented on how she wanted it to look, it revised the presentation to match exactly.
The Novel Marketing podcast reported that Amazon’s robots.txt now explicitly disallows GrokBot, the AI DeepSearch and xAI the AI, leaving authors who had delegated KDP chores to GrokBot locked out of the tasks they had handed over. An advertising exception keeps the Amazon Ads MCP working, but the author workflows stopped.
To mark the start of the semester, he asked the AI to build a macOS widget. It counts down how many weeks are left until the last class, and how many of those weeks are real teaching weeks.
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.
He set up an AI for his WP Beacon project to check WordPress plugins every day. After two weeks of daily checks it pinged him about malware in the InstaWP Connect plugin, and wordpress.org closed the listing that afternoon and restored it the next morning.
