A community college counselor of 16 years turned her idea for paid degree planning into a working side business: The AI helped with the business plan, built and edited her website, including a later round where Work mode edited the live Squarespace site directly, found leads and shaped her replies to potential clients. She has her first client and a lot of leads.
His frontend launch scripts were failing with nothing in the logs. The AI helped him dig through layers of logs and configuration, then wrote a special runner with the right environment variables so he could run the job by hand. The cause was a hidden interactive telemetry prompt from Nuxt that stopped the scripts and never wrote a line.
Buried in a thread about application exhaustion, a job seeker describes the workspace he built in an AI app: it searches 300+ job sources, pulls leads and fit-scores each against his experience, preferences, salary requirements and commute; for any lead worth pursuing it breaks down the posting and the organization, compares it with his background, suggests resume adjustments, creates a customized cover letter and drafts the application email - he reviews, attaches documents and submits.
A couple runs their online shop with a team of AI agents, each with its own job: one handles products, categories and stock, one does deep search analysis, one makes product photos and short videos, one runs the blog, one posts to social accounts, one manages ad campaigns, and a brand expert that knows every manual and writes in the shop's voice. Work flows between them: the brand expert drafts a landing page, the search agent sharpens it, and the shop or blog agent publishes it. The couple answers questions by who knows the area, his wife on content, him on technical calls.
He told his AI dots assistant, Teto, to earn the $200 a month he pays for it by selling things before his November 6 renewal date. Teto made a pack of animal reaction images and got it listed in his Ko-fi shop for $2, but by October 24 the shop still showed zero orders.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
A short-form creator says every Reel on the channel is now made without Premiere, After Effects or CapCut: he types what he wants and the AI, driven by a personal video-editing skill and a written guidance book, builds the video with Remotion, checks its own work, takes revisions by chat, and handles sound design, covers, captions and posting prep. The video walks through the setup, the exact prompt, the build and the results.
