Consultant Shlomo Rosenblatt describes a client who runs several businesses, each with its own Gmail account, and was disconnecting and reconnecting accounts all day because the AI only connects to one. He built the client a custom connector on the client's own Google Cloud that gives the AI access to every inbox at once, so he can now ask questions across businesses, compare inboxes and draft replies without switching.
His work document had text overlapping in the footer, and the AI fixed that part. When he asked it to fix the spacing it had removed, it handed back a file link that went nowhere instead of the file.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
Added the AI rules and skills to split Terraform PRs into the smallest mergeable units, resulting in cases like 40 PRs with 38 approved and merged immediately.
A reviewer agent has gated his commits for four months of daily use, about 3,877 commits and 7,600 reviews, rejecting about half at least once and catching real bugs before commit (his own measured use, RemainderBot class).
He asked the AI to list every place his side project hard-deletes user data. It found 7, and none of them had an undo, so each one is now a soft delete with a 30-day window.
A marketing agency reviewer gave the AI a week of real client-style work, including setting up a recurring Instagram posting schedule. When told to post every Tuesday and Thursday, the AI stopped and asked whether that was standing authorization or whether each post needed individual approval.
Agent autonomously proposed and tested CUDA kernel optimizations and profiled them with Nsight by itself, ending with a kernel an order of magnitude faster.
Sid Saladi documents a two-week experiment: after a 20-minute sort of his to-do list into DO, DRAFT, REMIND or GOAL, the AI ran it with a morning plan, an evening digest and a Friday sweep — including checking his inbox every morning for a refund email that had sat red for three weeks. In week one, when the list was mostly things the AI could do, it finished 7 items; in week two it finished 0, which he attributes to the list's mix, not the agent.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
He runs a freelance video editing studio and a coding studio, and his project folders were a mess across drives. He started a small folder making script with AI and kept adding to it daily for five months. It is now a 100,000 line Rust program with 1,390 tests that holds every project he has, gives each a permanent ID, and jumps him to any project on any drive or machine with one command.
