Screen 900 applications into a 50-person shortlist

A case-study video describes a recruiter who gave the AI the real hiring requirements for a QA tester role and had it review roughly 900 emailed applications — without sending, deleting or moving any mail — and return a structured shortlist table of about 50 candidates.

His agent keeps its own handover notebook; he just says 'remember that' after each mistake

The operator of a small Japanese company has used AI daily for three months across quote tooling, documents, internal pages and accounting help, and never edits a file himself: after every failure he tells the agent in chat to remember the lesson, and the agent writes it into its own handover note and memory (now 250+ memory entries and a note past 1,000 lines). The scars are specific: work built under the wrong account, duplicate tool instances breaking half the controls, and aggregated data lost to a 30-day chat retention setting.

Let the AI judge my fit - and redirect my whole job search

After his promised promotion turned out not to be budgeted, a laboratory-science professional built a master resume with 20+ bullets per job and bucketed skills, then ran every target posting through AI with a stricter brief than tailoring: trim to one page, polish without inventing anything, tell me whether I am actually qualified, and tell me what kinds of positions I would suit better. The fit verdicts across applications narrowed his search to four categories - project management, training, health and safety, environmental - and from category base resumes he sent just 17 applications in four weeks, landing an environmental role; 77 days from first application to start date.

One person runs an online game key store with about a dozen AI sessions

A solo founder runs his game key store with about a dozen AI sessions, one each for code, pricing, copy, bookkeeping and suppliers. They stay in sync through a shared record where facts are only ever added, each fact says whether a session confirmed it or just read it somewhere, and his decisions go into a numbered ledger the sessions look up instead of asking him again.
