Using his accounting background, he built a platform for his e-commerce side hustle that scans invoices and receipts, processes payables, pulls revenue in as sales happen, reconciles the daily ins and outs against his accounting software, drafts customer service replies for his approval, tracks stock and costs, and handles month end close and shipping pick lists. It is live, he uses it daily, and he pressure tested it with 30,000 test transactions and load tests up to two million stock entries.
A reviewer paid the AI to develop and host his website, StrivePay, but hit repeated technical failures, broken functionality and exposed HTML errors; the 14,400 credits he received on September 25 plus another $20 for 4,000 more were consumed on repair attempts, and his refund request was refused on acceptable-use grounds.

Ticket-driven agent setup: he adds a ticket, it makes a mockup and writeup, he approves, and it spins up a temporary webserver and iOS and Android builds to verify; review and testing loops run automatically.
Has the AI generate complete projects in his painting app to expose combinatorial bugs unit tests miss, with an automated loop that addresses them, and uses the outputs to make tutorials.
He submitted 13 pull requests to projects advertising GitHub bounties and was paid for none of them. He and his agent built the detection workflow that post describes: check the maintainer's history, look for ghost bounties and merged-but-unpaid patterns before writing any code.
Commenting on the 26 use cases post, he says he uses AI to find and apply to jobs. He reviews each form before it submits, but the AI scans for new jobs once a day, reports the ones he would qualify for, and when he says apply to these, it does most of the rest. It remembers his preferences, like salary range. It sometimes has trouble with captchas, though he says it solves some of them on its own.
Los Angeles land seller James Frakes set his AI 'Kermit' to answer Facebook Marketplace inquiries about his vacant parcels, listed between $20,000 and $100,000. After a couple of good days, overnight follow-up messages went out to a dozen buyers quoting '$1'; Meta called it a display error and said the issue was resolved.

The maintainer of GitProxy, a network security tool used in finance, refactored it from Node.js to Java with AI working as a pair. Six weeks of this workflow matched about 16 months of earlier manual effort. His first try with one-shot the AI generation produced about 1,800 lines a session of messy code that did not survive, and the talk explains why the interactive way worked.
A digital-health CEO reports his businesses have no full-time developers, DevOps, designers, analysts or product manager: scheduled AI agent shifts handle deploys, an agent-built CRM, per-business-line email sorting, meeting scheduling, technical support and publishing news four times a day. The work runs on three $200 AI subscriptions — $600 a month against roughly $38,500 a month at US median pay for the replaced roles.
His AI rechecks all 31 providers and 89 plans on TokenPlans.dev on a schedule. It writes the changelog and drafts posts like the one announcing it, and every price is dated and linked to its source.
