He has edited his podcast Rebuild by hand for years, and nearly everything after importing the recordings was manual. For the latest episode, the AI reverse engineered Logic Pro's ProjectData file so the editing could be automated, and the agent did most of the edit.
Agency owner Nick Saraev documented handing his business's work to the AI for a week: auditing every task, having the AI plan the automation systems, building evals, and turning the winners into reusable skills. The tasks that scored well were scheduled to run without him; he kept judgement calls for himself.
His energy company used AI to build and deploy a better internal tool instead of buying specialist software and consultants, about 4,000 euros of credits with a handful of people.
Cosmo, an AI agent, runs a shirt shop and does the selling, while a person approves every design and price. Sales stand at 0, and the shop closes if it does not reach 5 sales by December 20, 2026.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
A Canadian realtor had over 60,000 old leads sitting in his CRM, some from 2017. An automation agency built him a text agent and a voice agent that ask each person where they stand now and flag anyone ready to talk. Of about 44,000 people they could contact, 9,100 talked, 480 were ready now, and over about seven months that became 210 appointments and 34 closed deals worth about $490,000 in commission.
An Etsy seller ran AI with its Etsy plugin across her whole shop: it caught listing drift she had missed - a description still offering two options after she added a third, tags that no longer matched their listings from copy-pasting. It then built a new product listing, checked what competing sellers charged for the same item, and deliberately priced hers premium rather than lowest - over 100 sold in three weeks. The same workflow reallocated her ad spend (ROAS 3.5 to 6.5) and, from her uploaded Orders.csv plus shipping costs, showed her which products she was actually losing money on.
A Japanese Threads creator split his account's operation into six AI agents with one deliverable each (researcher, writer, poster, fetcher, analyst, supervisor) and reports 1,181+ posts and over 10 million cumulative impressions. The writer agent may only cite numbers stored in a single 'truth file' so it cannot inflate results, the poster must confirm the published URL rather than the button click, and the fetcher records 'not retrieved' instead of zero when a fetch fails.
