This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
The AI sets up my Obsidian writing space before I start writing
Before he writes, the AI opens a blank page in Obsidian and pins it, splits the window into two panes, and puts his notes and research in the second pane. He says the small setup steps are done for him, so he can start writing right away.
Build a micro SaaS with AI and land the first two paying subscribers
Brazilian creator Klebson tells the full story of Alvanto, a client-finding platform for website sellers that he built from scratch with AI: the idea from his own prospecting pain, what went wrong during the build, and how the first two subscribers arrived with no advertising at all. He gave the project a four-month deadline to prove itself and stresses the numbers are small and real — two people paying monthly.
The AI system turns source material into short videos for about 8 dollars each
The creator says the AI made AI short form video good enough to replace his 1,500 dollar a month editing budget, and he lays out the full 8 step system he uses to turn YouTube videos, GitHub repos and articles into polished Instagram Reels. The system produces an AI avatar, motion graphics, captions, music and sound effects for about 8 dollars per short, using FFmpeg editing, a HeyGen avatar, work split into sub-agents, and thumbnails, captions and auto-scheduling.

Agents wrote all 6,000 lines of my classroom Raft tool. It found a bug in my lecture notes.
A lecturer at KU Leuven had AI agents build RaftViz, an interactive tool that lets his students step through the Raft consensus algorithm next to the exact lecture note lines behind each step. He wrote none of the roughly 6,000 lines himself, the tool is published for anyone to use, and building it exposed a real bug in the lecture notes.
My agent cut my 3D code run from 769 seconds to 59
