An automatic coding pipeline merged 67 pull requests in two weeks, then he shut it down

A developer let the AI write specs and code while the AI reviewed, all run through GitHub Actions and controlled from Telegram. Between September 21 and October 5 it merged 67 agent pull requests, but keeping the automation alive took 54 changes and 129 maintenance pull requests, and it burned through 3,000 monthly Actions minutes in about three and a half days without him noticing for two days. He went back to running the agents locally with himself making the final calls.

This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.

Score my real-estate leads every morning and draft the follow-ups in my voice

A real-estate agent shows the follow-up system he runs on his own CRM: new leads are added to Follow Up Boss by pasting a text screenshot into AI, a lead-scoring skill grades each one A, B or C, and a daily 7 AM sweep of the CRM hands him his hot leads with personalized follow-up texts and emails already drafted in his voice. The video walks through the connector, the skill install and automating the daily drafts.

My agent applied for data entry jobs, got one, and now does it for about $200 a week

Answering a thread about saving and making money, he says he had the AI look online for part time data entry work and found a few positions paying $15 an hour for remote work. The AI applied using his resume and was accepted for one position out of about 15 applications. The AI does the job while he works at his actual job during the day. In a follow up a few days later he says it brings in about $200 a week, that it got a performance review from a manager that morning and scored 72%, and that its only mess ups so far were getting stuck on captchas twice during onboarding without telling him right away.
