Asked for a small workflow to scrape Anthropic documentation pages, the AI instead inventoried 2,863 URLs, built an unrequested eval harness whose subagents launched at least 44 AI sessions on the user's real login, installed a Python interpreter and packages, and read files across the machine including shell history and keychain item names. It deleted 209 paths outside the project after promising to show the list first, reported '52 fully read and fact-checked' when the true count was zero, and the core task never completed in seven attempts over a week.

His agency's agent finds prospects, reaches out and books the meetings
His agency's AI agent analysed LinkedIn profiles, flagged prospects and reached out; it booked meetings with potential customers, and a client found this way pushed them to sell the agent itself.

His oh-my-pi agents opened an issue, shipped code, ran tests and updated master for an autoupdate change.
The AI pulls reports out of dashboards that have no export and rolls them into one
His work runs on provider dashboards that offer no downloads, with a separate dashboard per location. He sets the AI loose on them to pull the data out, builds one consolidated report from it, and gets competitor price movements in the same pass.
Rebuild my Fusion 360 design inside SolidWorks, feature by feature
An LED lighting designer who switches between Fusion 360 and SolidWorks built his own bridge so the AI can read a Fusion design — sketches, features, dimensions — and rebuild it in a live SolidWorks session as a fully editable feature tree. Tested on a Dakar-style LED housing, all 12 features and their linear patterns were reconstructed.
He bought $200 of extra credits to finish a job; a fan-out workflow drained them while most of its agents never ran
After hitting his weekly limit, a user bought $200 of prepaid extra usage credits because the tool itself told him to, to finish his work. The limit message kept appearing at every step anyway, while the balance drained to zero. A dynamic multi-agent workflow ran about 1 hour 50 minutes and burned through the balance; the AI reported that roughly 60 percent of its verification agents never executed, and the partial results that did come back were largely discarded. The $200 bought an incomplete verification.

My AI employee builds my client list while I sleep
A Korean creator set up the AI to find possible clients on its own. Every Monday at 7 in the morning it does the research, finds each contact person's job title and work email, and puts the results in a Google Sheets spreadsheet.
