The AI found the school law. My daughter starts on Monday.

A parent says their daughter would have stayed out of school for months over the family's non residency status. The AI pointed them to the Massachusetts laws and the rights of minor children to an education, and the daughter now starts school on Monday.

He routed a circuit board clean after an earlier model left 17 short circuits

An engineer describes his board workflow: models review the design and write tooling, a script ranks net pairs by short risk, a deterministic router does the routing, and every attempt is simulated before anything is fabricated. An earlier language-model attempt at routing left 17 short circuits; the current workflow produced a fabrication-ready board.

Build my client's production clothing store, synced to their ERP

A solo developer built a women's clothing brand's production WooCommerce store with AI writing most of the code: a custom block theme matched to the client's React prototype, real-time CommerceML sync with their 1C ERP (including patching a stock parser that silently dropped nested per-warehouse counts and cleaning up roughly 1,000 orphaned variations), and zero dollars in platform licenses. Two client revision rounds of about thirty items each cleared in days, and the whole build took weeks instead of months.

The AI figured out the Windows only tool so he could flash his board from Linux

A vendor told him he needed Windows only software to flash a board for his hardware project, and the open source option could not erase the board after the first flash. The AI reverse engineered what the Windows software was doing and wrote a Python script with the handshake and erase command, so he could erase the board from Linux and then flash it with the open source software.
