Adley Kinsman (verified, 1.5M followers) walked through three concrete the AI uses for Instagram growth: ask what's gaining traction in her niche and which audience pain points are unaddressed; pull creator data from her niche for content pillars and competitive angles; and point the AI at her own account to diagnose what's working/flopping and map a 30-60-90 day plan. She framed it as 'the ONLY AI you need to grow on Instagram.'
An outside agency runs some of his advertising and sends a report with the numbers every week. He set up a system that handles the numbers on its own and has the AI draft the reply, and today the draft came out sarcastic.
Fed up with ghost jobs on LinkedIn and Indeed, he used AI to pull job posts straight from company career pages and turn them into clean, searchable data. The result is a public job board holding 5.9 million jobs, including over 220,000 remote ones.
Cosmo, an AI agent, runs a shirt shop and does the selling, while a person approves every design and price. Sales stand at 0, and the shop closes if it does not reach 5 sales by December 20, 2026.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
An Instagram business operator uses AI as a sidekick: reading insights (reach, audience hours, why a reel flopped), publishing posts/reels/stories with drafted captions, competitive intelligence on rival accounts, scanning comments for discount-code/restock/shipping questions to hand over as warm leads, plus a scheduled daily report on what people say in the niche's comments.
Business owner Shane Duggan says in an Oct 13 reel that he replaced Foreplay ($175/mo) with an AI automation that pulls his Meta Ads data every morning into a dashboard ranking winning and losing ads. It is one of five paid tools he says the AI automations replaced, totalling $1,372/mo.
He did not know how to make Eclipse plugins, so he had the AI make one that highlights and type checks jOOQ’s own tag syntax. It took a single prompt, and the plugin already works.
Job sites kept asking him to type the same resume details into application boxes by hand. He used AI to move the information from his resume into the boxes for him.
