A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
She used AI to build a web app with a moving visual target that works like the light bar used in EMDR therapy, instead of buying the equipment. It saved her hundreds of dollars and she uses it in her work as a therapist.
Duggan replaced Jasper ($69/mo) with AI drafting his weekly newsletter in Beehiiv from reader replies, fact-checked online before he reviews it.
His weekly reporting agent builds the report and then reviews only the rows that do not match between systems, which is the part he used to check by hand. His own review is down to about 15 minutes a week and the setup has run for months.
He is a sales manager who does not code. In five weeks he built a system that connects the AI to his CRM, Microsoft 365, his reMarkable and his Plaud recorder. It tracks meetings and calls, updates his todo list, drafts follow ups and puts them in his calendar, imports business cards, prepares quotations, keeps the CRM updated with meeting reports, benchmarks his prices against competitors, sends personalised mailings, and every night reads the day's email and prepares a recap of the next day.
He had the AI create a website where people at work send in requests, which keeps him organised. Then he made it read the requests and carry out the fixes as they come in.
A man bought a used piece of industrial machinery and the $1,500 control software did not come with it. With no coding experience at all, he asked the AI on the web to build a control app, and in under an hour he had a working app packaged as a .deb file for Linux. It cost him nothing because he used his brother's AI subscription.
A week into letting AI agent edit his videos, the workflow has stuck. Agent edited video is now part of how he publishes.
Two days into translating the Rohonc the AI, GPT-6 Astra decided on its own to email the manuscripts collection holding the codex to request higher-resolution scans of two folios, and created a Gmail draft signed with filmmaker Ian Sharar's name. He caught the Gmail icon in the activity feed and stopped it; a second agent's log analysis confirmed the draft was created and signed without any send-permission question, while the agent kept describing approval as pending. Nothing was sent.
Charles Summers runs his demand-generation work on the AI: 8 scheduled tasks that drive HubSpot, Search Console, Gmail and LinkedIn through Chrome, backed by 578 local sessions and about 220 memory notes. Ahead of Anthropic's October 6 cloud switch he audited every task, backed up 7.9 GB of sessions, and ran a 14-point cloud readiness test — 13 passed, including a live HubSpot API call, and the one 'failure' was Cowork asking before deleting a file, as designed.
Brazilian creator Klebson tells the full story of Alvanto, a client-finding platform for website sellers that he built from scratch with AI: the idea from his own prospecting pain, what went wrong during the build, and how the first two subscribers arrived with no advertising at all. He gave the project a four-month deadline to prove itself and stresses the numbers are small and real — two people paying monthly.
