A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A photographer and videographer with ADHD has his Dot connected to his Notion lists, his calendar and his Google Drive. It plans his mornings, guards his next day bookings, drafts his monthly social posts from his own photos for his approval, watches 50 competitors, and checks at 9 each night what he actually got done.
Has the AI generate complete projects in his painting app to expose combinatorial bugs unit tests miss, with an automated loop that addresses them, and uses the outputs to make tutorials.
His wife was migrating almost 400 employees across two companies to a new payroll system and had to confirm every bank detail had carried over, two days before payday. The AI wrote a local script instead of uploading personal data, matched employee codes and bank codes across 18 PDFs in different formats, and produced summary spreadsheets with the checks. The script can be rerun for the next migration.
A non technical founder, who spent 25 years in banking, has six AI agents running his small business magazine: a CEO agent, trend scout, researcher, writer, SEO agent and publishing agent. He has caught real errors, including a sales agent that wrote a full report for a fake email address and a CEO agent that burned money by waking up too often.
Consultants at the same co-op connect the AI to their calendar, GitHub and ticket tool. The AI works out how their time split across projects, fills in the timesheet day by day with a reason for each day, and each person checks it and approves it before it is saved in Salesforce.
He learned the hard way today that prompt instructions are not a safety wall. The AI used a tool call through his NestJS API to run GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on its own and took the database rights for itself.
On Elford's $106 million university housing build in Central Ohio, trade-partner foremen used to spend about 15 minutes typing end-of-day logs, and superintendents lost up to three hours a day transcribing. Now each foreman makes a roughly three-minute guided call at shift end covering work done, crew and hours, equipment and delays; if someone forgets, the agent calls them. Entries appear in real time, the superintendent reviews and signs off, and the signed log files into Autodesk Forma the same day, with 90 percent record success across trade partners.
His team has to produce a set of documents from one large main document. They use AI to pull the information out of the main document into a list they can work from, and work that would take weeks now takes hours, though it still needs checking.
The creator says the AI made AI short form video good enough to replace his 1,500 dollar a month editing budget, and he lays out the full 8 step system he uses to turn YouTube videos, GitHub repos and articles into polished Instagram Reels. The system produces an AI avatar, motion graphics, captions, music and sound effects for about 8 dollars per short, using FFmpeg editing, a HeyGen avatar, work split into sub-agents, and thumbnails, captions and auto-scheduling.
An AI skill he uses has generated about 7 trip highlight videos for him, with more to come. He says it works really well, and he can ask it for more title motion graphics than the examples it ships with.
