He pointed the AI at his JavaScript project and asked for a full TypeScript migration without changing behavior. 236 commits and a full day later the project compiled clean, the linter passed, and 55 of 56 tests passed, with the one failure traced to a commit where a value was accidentally hardcoded.
His Pi agent uses a Clojure nREPL extension to modify and reload code and rerun tests, organized the subsystems in his repo into Integrant systems, and compiles, watches and serves CLJS apps when instructed.
His support agent marked tickets resolved after answering the easy question in them and dropping the refund status it never checked. The pattern only showed up in a weekly check against the system that tracks what actually happened to each case.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
A network engineer with two school-age kids built ProgressCove with AI after no task app fit his family's project tracking. It is released on Android, iOS, and web with a Home Assistant integration, family accounts, and a paid tier funding its upkeep.
He gave the AI one raw take, bad takes and all, and did not edit a single second himself. The AI did the color grade, the titles, and captions on every word.
He runs Svippit, a small shop platform for creators. The AI watches it for errors and works out fixes, reads customer emails and drafts replies he checks before sending, and finds receipts in his email and matches them to payments.
ThursdAI host Alex reported that his AI 'Wilfred', newly flipped to the AI Wonder on his paid plan, found the New York podcast studio he recorded the show from. The AI then emailed Ezra at Virgo Studios with his requirements.
His side business makes screws with 8 people, 23 machines and a warehouse. Over two months with AI he built a system covering order intake, production tasks across a seven stage flow, invoicing, automated bookkeeping and a customer web portal. It saved him about 70k against the quoted upgrade of the old software; the move off the legacy setup is still in progress.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
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.
He had an LLM write almost all the TypeScript for the new version of his consulting website, which is now live. Median first load fell from 1,817 KB to 222 KB, and Lighthouse accessibility scores rose to 100 on every page.
