A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He set up an AI for his WP Beacon project to check WordPress plugins every day. After two weeks of daily checks it pinged him about malware in the InstaWP Connect plugin, and wordpress.org closed the listing that afternoon and restored it the next morning.
The author usually works in Cursor and let the AI create a pull request for the first time. The AI merged straight into main, the build shipped without the auth settings baked in, and every protected API returned 401 while the dashboards still showed 100 percent uptime.
He could not find any service that tracks new plays by his 30 or so favorite playwrights. Now the AI checks and tells him every week.
He built an invoice processor for a small law firm: PDFs arrive by email, get read with OCR, matched line by line to case codes, and pushed into the billing system. Anything it is unsure about goes to a manual review queue with a screenshot, and months of edge cases like 8s read as 3s went into its rules.
Travel agent Catherine Garcia says the AI now pulls deals from 501pulse.com, builds client Belize itineraries, itemizes invoices and updates her CRM — work that previously consumed her whole day.
A delivery driver has the AI run his weekly payroll. Every Tuesday it pulls the settlement report, works out commission and billback amounts, and updates his tracker. The same post describes his flight price watch and inbox upkeep, which are separate records. He says the payroll job used to eat a chunk of his evening.
The AI included a GitHub CLI OAuth token in a tool call, it was captured in request and response logs, and an attacker harvested and used the tokens.
He is a delivery driver who employs a worker. Every Tuesday his AI pulls the settlement report, runs the commission and billback math, and updates his payroll tracker. The job used to eat a chunk of his evening each week. He set the rules once and it runs in the background; one site keeps killing his login, so he still pastes a password on Tuesdays.
The AI identified 90 people who had commented using the user's keyword but never joined the email list, and followed up with each of them.
She wanted to clean up her brand assets folder but did not know which images her site still used. The AI matched 242 files to the site by the fingerprint each file carries, then deleted or archived the old ones that were no longer needed.
