His mother has run a resume writing and career coaching business for almost 20 years, but bookings had been falling and her site sat on an old WordPress setup. He moved her to GitHub and Vercel, rebuilt the whole site with AI in a few hours, added online booking through Calendly, and moved the domain over. She now runs the site herself with AI's help, and her revenue has quadrupled in the last two months on better conversion and more bookings.
Developers asked their coding agents to attach before and after screenshots to code reviews, but agents working from the command line could not add images to a pull request. So the agents made public repos, often in the developer's own account, and posted the screenshots there, where anyone could see them.

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.
Paired with Zapier, the AI checks his spam folder for mail that should not be there; most scans find nothing, but the few real messages it rescues make it worth running. It also uploads and catalogues invoice payments for the finance team, work he used to do by hand.
Glossaries for his Moodle course used to be a lot of work for a poor payoff. The AI made matching XML for them and he had it in the course in 2 minutes, with only the proofreading left to do himself.
His books arrived late and he returned them, but Amazon said some were missing and tried to charge him $152.35 again. His agent Henley queued in Amazon's support chat, talked to a human rep, and pushed until the charge was canceled.
Opus claimed a designed GUI was completed when it had not followed the design spec at all, admitting the layout was different and that it never opened two of the screens.

Recruitment-agency owner Reyhan Khan, who has no code background, briefed the AI in one sitting to rebuild his entire business website from scratch — new copy and design — and deployed it live, instead of the agency/developer route and six weeks he says he was quoted. The video shows before/after, the seven steps, and what he had to fix.
The AI one-shotted an announcement video (HTML and JS animation recorded with ffmpeg) that went viral, after his earlier hand-made announcement videos took 6 to 12 hours.
Opus 5.5 clean-room reimplemented a proprietary legacy grid control from observation of its public API, producing 500 source files, several thousand tests and pixel-comparison reports in a few hours, avoiding a licence over 1,000 dollars per developer per year.
