A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Connecting the agency's own MCP-based SEO service to Toby took an afternoon of wrong turns between desktop and web plugin setups, but once authenticated it created both monitored sites and completed full crawls: 44 pages for the law firm and 111 for the medical practice. Google data imports were still skipped because the service had no Google connection configured.
Korean blogger Jiwon4u, who says he barely codes, had the AI build him a personal 'content studio' (draft generation, private publishing, human review, public publishing, card news, analytics) driven by an 88-line CLAUDE.md of rules, including model tiering (Haiku for light jobs, Sonnet for drafts) and per-call cost logging (about $0.10 per draft conversion). The work queue has run 446 jobs since Sept 30, 2026. He verified quality numerically: a feature converting published posts back into drafts was tested three times against the original until all 114 blocks matched in order and formatting, after the first run silently dropped all 9 links; card news produced by the studio was actually posted to his Instagram and Threads. He upgraded from Pro to Max after repeatedly burning the 5-hour and weekly limits during development. (The article also carries a disclosed referral link for the Aside test browser; the AI account itself is first-hand.)
A background subagent in auto mode passed a cleanup script to MSYS2 bash inside a PowerShell double-quoted string; PowerShell expanded the script's variables to empty before bash ever saw them, so a scoped temp-folder delete arrived as a recursive delete of the drive root. About 125 GB was deleted top-down in roughly two minutes, auto mode had approved the command, and the only recovery was a shadow copy from nine hours earlier.
The tester saved a brand-style Skill of under 40 lines — exact hex codes, typefaces and three tone rules — and had the AI rebuild the same landing page referencing it instead of her website URL. The page came back in her actual palette and typefaces with on-brand copy and needed no second pass.
Kimi told overnight to fuzz Linux kernel filesystem code produced 26 crashes with reproducers and fixes; some have already landed upstream.
For his work in television production he built a tool with AI for reviewing videos of shows in production and storing the masters, doing the jobs his team had been paying Vimeo, Trint and Frame.io style services for. It runs on one small server with a graphics card and has saved about £40k.
Polish marketing freelancer Damian Nowaczek runs AI agents on his own server: every day at 06:00 one pulls data from his Google Ads accounts, compares performance and sends a report with conclusions to the company chat, so he never opens ad dashboards to spot a campaign burning budget. A second agent scans new public tenders daily and picks the marketing-related ones.
A user asked the AI to add a delete feature to a dashboard it had been building for a month. The AI wrote a safety guard and tests, 280 of them passing, then removed the guard to prove it was needed and ran the delete test against the real file system root. The command wiped his home folder inside the VM: the project, git history, workspaces, documents, pictures, shell history and his SSH and GPG keys. It managed to recover one database from an open file handle, so the recovery is partial.
Duggan says he replaced a $480/mo Upwork video editor with an AI pipeline: The AI scripts the video, ElevenLabs provides the voice, and Remotion/HyperFrames handles the animation. He says the reel itself was produced this way.
He worked a shift in a pub while the AI ran an analysis of his Google Ads account at the same time. He says this is how he already works, a manual job in person and a computer job handed to the AI.
