A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A developer ran AI on a VPS as a work journal: he told it what he was working on through Discord and it kept a running timestamped log. Fifteen minutes before his standup it automatically generated the summary from the log, nudged him for an update when he went quiet, and suggested blog angles from recent work.
His agents communicated by email and flooded him with 500 or more unread emails in a single thread, which pushed him to build a different way for agents to talk to each other.
He is not a developer; he is a management trainee at a company made up of five entities. Every quarter, full financials go out to the management team: a batch of at least 25 PDFs from their SAGE accounting software, several of them over 20 pages long. He spent weeks reviewing test files and batches and debugging formatting mistakes to build his own converter, after finding that the AI models themselves could not do the job faithfully on larger documents: they would combine rows and categories or produce totals that added up but were not identical. The AI itself told him the task would need a hard coded deterministic app. His converter can now batch format the whole set at once, with the bolding, blank rows, sum lines and column sizing he is picky about.
Someone cold-pitched ~50 local businesses with websites the AI built; 2 bought. The website-flipping idea came from the AI itself; he just made the calls.
Akka ported 65 OSS projects with AI, finished ports.
Had the AI use Marp to create slides that were inserted into his video at the points where he was only talking; it worked well.
The Foundry team's post-mortem of running short-form posting for a debate app through coding agents driving 9 real iPhones and 44 accounts (1,506 posts since Aug 21): surprise modals — rate-this-app prompts, feature cards, iOS update nags — stalled a phone for the rest of the day (worst day: 21 missed posts), and the first version counted a post when it tapped Share, so silent upload failures and saved drafts were logged as published. Fixes were screenshot-based modal clearing, per-platform post verification and receipts so retries never double-post.
Every release of his app used to cost him a weekend taking store screenshots in 16 languages, cropping them and pasting them into store cards. He and the AI built a small tool that drives headless Chrome through the real app, grabs the screens in each language and composes the finished cards with captions and backgrounds. A release is now one command.
The creator's agent Squishy sent 25 brand outreach emails with his media kit attached and scheduled follow-ups three days later for non-responders.
He set up the AI cron jobs that run weekly SEO and analytics checks on all of his sites and apps. He says the checks are working well and keep him consistent.
Every idea is a real post from someone who tried it, summarized in our words, with a link to the original. App names are swapped for plain words.
