A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He runs product marketing at a SaaS company. The AI audited where old icons appear across 12 products, sites, decks and emails and produced a tracker of about 200 rows to assign out. It built the URL redirect map for a site restructure, runs a browser routine that pastes page text into a sheet, and writes quarterly status updates in 20 minutes instead of most of an afternoon.
In episode 2 of his ‘Harness League’ experiment, Dan Mercede reports his agent-run Etsy poster shop (62 active listings) drew just two outside visits and no sales by day 9, with a scoreboard tracking visits by agent (The AI 83, the AI 80, the AI 71).
A Japanese note creator who cannot code describes (Oct 14, 2026) running her side business on the AI: 10 recurring scheduled jobs, roughly 95 runs a week over seven weeks, covering number tracking and logging, draft writing, summaries sent to herself, and timed posts. Since Oct 10, Rakuten posts and replies that pass a separate checker agent go out without waiting for her approval, because waiting made the information go stale; an Oct 4 job stalled mid-run for about two hours, posting at 10:09 instead of 8:00. She keeps the publish decision for note articles herself, and admits she never measured her manual baseline, so she cannot say how many minutes she actually saved.
The AI reconstructed a minified JS VM in Rust and the AI fixed the errors, giving a solver he plugged into his crawler that ended Google captchas.
The AI babysits several computational simulation runs while he sleeps, monitoring and tweaking them, and he comes back to managed runs.
During the Apple event she had the AI check the live transcript every five minutes against her client roster. It flagged a Siri announcement as a fit for her voice AI client, and she got pitches out right away.
Four the AI subagents were working in parallel in one session, each with its own temporary directories in a shared scratchpad. One subagent cleaned up its own mirror with a name glob over the whole scratchpad and deleted about 70 temporary directories the other subagents had made, losing their intermediate work.
He had about 250 old newsletters sitting on beehiiv doing nothing. He fed them to the AI, had it turn them into blog posts, and the blog is now live with Google already sending readers to it, giving him a new funnel in a couple of hours.
He had the AI watch his online trainings and take the tests for him, and he collected 40 certificates in one day. He told it not to get perfect scores every time, and he says the system is broken if this works.
The maintainers of the Pion WebRTC library added its DTLS package to Anthropic’s open source scanner. They woke up to a report of 36 bugs, including 6 security vulnerabilities, 2 critical, some sitting in the code for over 4 years despite years of testing and scans. Fixes went in the same project.
