One founder runs his whole company through AI sessions

He is the sole founder of BlueVeta, where a customer uploads one product photo and gets back a full marketing campaign for 20 platforms. Every part of the company runs as its own AI session, the sessions message each other and share docs, and nothing is built, deployed or spent without his OK first. The company has real paying customers through Stripe, and the AI does about 75 percent of the work in each customer pack.

After Indeed laid off his wife, he built a job service that now applies for people inside an AI app

A builder whose wife was laid off by Indeed built a job search platform with AI, then a connector that brings it inside an AI app: search about 15,000 new jobs a day for free, drop in a resume for matches and tailored versions, and have the service submit applications on employers' own sites once the user approves. It launched the week before his October 14 post and already has 450 users with 75 active daily; paid users on autopilot are seeing 83 interviews per 100 subscribers.

I moved 23 years of my content home and made every course free

Apply to 18 jobs for me — research, tailor, submit, track

Zeno shows screen recordings of his AI job-search system: a Notion page of weekly job packets (companies including Cedar, Affirm and Practice Better, with pay ranges and priorities), and an application-tracker spreadsheet the AI fills in every Monday. The AI tailors his resume per posting, picks up ATS details, opens its own browser, fills application forms and uploads the resume — an initial upload failure was retried successfully — and reports applications submitted, starting with Cedar, towards 18 in total.

The AI remade my class video so every pupil's work shows

His 5th grade class studied Maricarmen and her eviction, a real case, and the pupils made work about it. He gave Notebook the AI directions to redo the class video so all of their work can be seen, and the video is posted with a PDF of the work on his class blog.

The AI timed lunch stops to our drive and mapped them

In February he told the AI what road he was taking and when he was setting off. The AI picked lunch places within a 20 minute detour that he would reach at lunchtime, 10 of them spread over 50 miles, with an import into Google Maps.
