A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Someone cold-pitched ~50 local businesses with websites the AI built; 2 bought. The website-flipping idea came from the AI itself; he just made the calls.
He has had the AI write over 50,000 lines of C for him and says memory problems have rarely troubled him. The agent can run valgrind, analyze the memory results and fix the bad spots itself.
Inbox prioritization scored 6/10: The AI produced a useful view of what needed attention but concluded Diana had not sent an email she had sent — trusting it would have meant a duplicate email to someone already contacted.
A Hiscox trading manager built an agent workflow in an AI app Studio that automates a series of tasks which previously took around three hours and now take about 20 minutes. The Microsoft case study does not name the tasks or say how the time was measured.
He runs OpenFree, a site that collects open source projects. The AI scans X every day for new projects, filters them, and submits them to his site backend, where a Cloudflare workflow parses each one and sends it to him to approve before it goes live.
He pointed the AI at his JavaScript project and asked for a full TypeScript migration without changing behavior. 236 commits and a full day later the project compiled clean, the linter passed, and 55 of 56 tests passed, with the one failure traced to a commit where a value was accidentally hardcoded.
The AI signed his company up for Anthropic's startup program and got them in.
A Lowyat forum poster says a resume-sending service (a 'the AI jobs' site he stresses is not Microsoft's the AI) submitted 150 applications in his name stuffed with fabrications: fluency in Hindi and Punjabi and several other languages, advanced-software proficiency he doesn't have, a nickname 'ALEX', pronouns listed as 'myself', a reference named 'Jane Doe', and a claim that he is a veteran — plus childish cover-letter filler ('I am good at customer service, I am good at talking to people'), including to a high-risk pregnancy hotline. He calls the result absolutely humiliating.
A man who flips vintage items on eBay connected the AI to his store. The AI found 28 listings with views but no sales, worked out that eBay was really taking 16% in fees, and published a bundle of two vases that sold within a week.
He needed a foreign language voiceover on a video presentation at work. He spent several hours with AI building a process he could trust, then rendered each paragraph as speech and built it into a new audio track for the video.
Every idea is a real post from someone who tried it, summarized in our words, with a link to the original. App names are swapped for plain words.
