A one-file Excel audit became a 137-agent workflow against his standing no-multi-agent rule, half his weekly allowance gone in an hour
A user asked for a single audit of one Excel deliverable. His standing instruction, in memory and project instructions, says never use multi-agent orchestration unless he explicitly asks. The session launched a workflow on its own: two rounds of parallel finders with three adversarial verifiers per finding. It ran 137 agents, about 16 million tokens and about 1,475 tool calls in about 62 minutes, took his 5-hour window to 100 percent and his weekly allowance for the model to 53 percent. There was no estimate, cap, or confirmation. He stopped it manually.

Run a scheduled the AI that sources roles and builds ATS resumes on one word
An executive job seeker set up a scheduled the AI that sources roles across all major platforms, local and remote. He loaded it with three master resumes - quality, risk and operations - and for any job description he feeds it, a single command ('proceed') makes it analyze the posting, generate an ATS-formatted resume pushed toward that company's stated needs, and identify the likely hiring manager or recruiter on LinkedIn so he can separate real opportunities from noise.
Running a one person marketplace in Japan, he shipped four Mac apps and a web product with AI doing the release work
He runs an online marketplace in Japan that he started in 2004, with around 300,000 members, and he is clear the AI gets no credit for that. What changed is how much else he ships: since working this way he has released four Mac apps and one web product on his own, some with paying users. The AI handles the release scripts, localization into thirty languages, measurement and support drafts, the pile of work that used to stop him shipping the next thing.
