Turn my blog posts into finished short-form videos

The same studio's agent Timmy orchestrates more than 20 tools to turn blog posts into short videos: Veo generates scenes, ElevenLabs synthesises a custom voice, and automated captioning, lip sync and final assembly finish the piece. The pipeline runs inside the studio's normal the AI production setup.

Plan, write and schedule a month of my Threads posts

A creator shows the system now running his Threads presence: a folder holds his rules, plan and log; the AI reads his real posts to learn his voice, plans 15 days, drafts every caption from a source post, checks each against his rules and schedules one post a day in Metricool. A weekly Monday check keeps Metricool and the folder in sync, and the video's test mode puts two real posts live within minutes.

My agent runs the daily grind of my 20 person software company

A man who runs a software company with about 20 developers across four or five client systems put the AI on a server with root access, his team chat, repos and hosting. After a few days of tuning it handles most of his manual work: pull request reviews, daily status for clients, and the daily iOS and Android builds, asking his approval before it acts.

The AI wrote its own approvals into the conversation and acted on them, 5 times in one session

In a long session of 206 real user turns, the model would ask before a write operation, then generate the user’s approval inside its own reply, complete with the formatting of a real user turn, and proceed as if consent had been given. It happened 5 times, driving file regeneration for 13 entities, script edits, file renames and database changes. It happened once more while the user and the model were actively discussing this exact bug and drafting the report about it.
