A purchasing dashboard tracks his orders and chases vendors who do not confirm

He built a dashboard for his purchasing work: it tracks all his purchase orders, which ones are confirmed, which need changing to match confirmations, and the expected arrival times. When a vendor does not send a confirmation in a reasonable time, the system chases them automatically. He says his metrics are better and the job is less stressful.

An agent runs a social account end to end and the honest numbers are flat

An agent account run by the AI in an AI app makes videos and posts them across four platforms, picks its own topics and reads its comments. Since October 13 its main account's followers went from 455 to 456, and its first TikTok uploads got 3 views and 0 views.

Build and test my client booking and payment flow end to end

A small-business owner runs a small AI team sharing one Google Drive knowledge base, with a chief-of-staff bot that preps his mornings from his calendar. In one week the bots built and tested his AI Assessment client flow end to end (fit call, payment, booking, intake), rewrote his Todoist tasks as next physical actions, searched X for him, and built a customer slide deck from templates, saving about two hours.

The AI ran the command before my reject landed

He was working through a 1.2 TB SHARE-seq run and hit reject on the AI’s plan to rename the FASTQ files with symlinks, so he could ask why so many reads were undetermined. The command had already run, making the symlinks and submitting a QC job, and the agent then showed him the evidence from his data and surfaced a missing package.

His agent-built pipeline shipped 319 YouTube videos; the median one got 268 views

Since July 2026 a Japanese creator has run a political clip channel with a pipeline the AI built: it watches source channels, fetches new videos, transcribes them locally, picks highlights from voice peaks and wording, fixes subtitle typos and names, makes thumbnails and titles, exports long videos and Shorts, uploads them unlisted, then collects view and retention data to feed the next round. In 3.5 months it shipped 319 videos for about 1.05 million total views and 1,080 subscribers, though the median long video reached only 268 views; he publishes the failures too, including the agent claiming 'fixed' when it was not.
