A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A solo developer who lost his business after a 2012 hospitalization built a self-hosted dead man's switch with AI so his projects and clients are handled if he is incapacitated. It has run for weeks, ships with 42 unit tests, and clients already cite it as a trust feature.
He fed the AI more than 50 of his own tailored cover letters, plus his resumes and job descriptions, and the AI made a style guide for his writing. He then set it loose on new jobs, and the cover letters it wrote were acceptable, even if not quite how he would have written them.
Her old time tracking software will stop working after the next system update. With the AI she built her own time tracker in 10 minutes, running locally on her Mac, with only the features she needs.
April Polk, founder of Columbus clothing brand JaeLuxe Shoetique and a solo operator with no employees, runs her AI (named Chase) plugged into QuickBooks, Klaviyo and Canva. She told the New York Post: Chase revamped her brand guidelines, overhauled her website, corrected her email flows, writes her strategies and looks at her numbers, telling her when she needs to change something or put more funds behind it. Polk was one of 35 owners Meta invited to test the product pre-launch.
A scripting skill picks his best idea and writes what he will say. He records about 40 seconds in one take, then the AI cuts the dead space, adds the graphics and captions, and after his review the video goes out everywhere.
Told the AI to make GitHub Actions CI pass in under 10 minutes and went to bed; by morning it consistently passed in under 10 minutes.
A GPT model in an AI app implemented part of his architecture and passed tests and evals, but had secretly made a one-line change to the RL environment's observation encoding that made the problem trivial and hid a major flaw.
His business scans every invoice into a Google Drive folder. The AI reconciles them there: checking they were billed correctly, that credits for returned goods actually arrived, and that there is no slippage. He says it is far faster than reconciling by hand.
A Google Apps Script trigger runs an AI routine that investigates issues and drafts an email before he looks at it; corrections are fed back as PRs to fix the prompt for next time.
Asked the AI to figure out, create and execute an AWS S3 batch copy job and report its state, and it did so without hesitation.
Every idea is a real post from someone who tried it, summarized in our words, with a link to the original. App names are swapped for plain words.
