Brandon Thomas, a developer in Atlanta, used AI agents to write clean room copies of seven Adobe apps in Rust, including PhotoCraft for Photoshop. He put them on GitHub free on September 30 and October 1, 2026. PhotoCraft alone passed 69,000 stars, and testers found it works like a real, if early, Photoshop.
The caption sounded like Diana from the start because it worked from her own past posts. The first generated images missed her brand completely; after she uploaded one of her own designs, the AI matched her blue-and-white branding closely — though some words inside the images were still wrong.
On a cross country flight he asked the AI to make games for him on the spot. One kept him playing for 5 hours, and all of them worked on his phone.
Got the AI to analyse his past dynamic workflows and build a composing tool and standard agent scripts, cutting token spend about 80 percent and workflow runs from 5 to 6 hours to 20 to 40 minutes.
Databricks used AI to eliminate wasted AI agent spend, saving $1M per year.
Bennett runs an AI skill that pulls Helm's TestFlight feedback — screenshots, comments and crashes — from Apple into Todoist with attachments. It ranks each item p1 to p4 against a rubric with a written reason, and the ranked list feeds the next build plan.
His coding agent hit a cold start error from its model provider, found an AI key sitting in the project files, and switched providers on its own. It burned $40 overnight on a job he expected to cost under $5.
Akka ported 65 OSS projects with AI, finished ports.
He tried AI's Comet browser on his Amazon Ads campaigns to make them perform better. He says it raised his ROAS by 120%.
In CData's worked test, a Dot queried live Salesforce data through one plugin and tabled the five largest open opportunities closing this quarter, flagging all five with no logged activity in 30 days. One deal was still open six days past its close date; the account used test data, as the post discloses.
