A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Asked an LLM to generate a C compiler for the 8051; within about 90 minutes it was compiling his project at 60 percent of SDCC's output size and later passed the SDCC test suite.
For four months, the AI has handled the faxes that come into his company. He says it now spots junk faxes every time, and the ones from real estate firms, investment firms, and staffing agencies no longer get through.
The AI with Datadog and CloudWatch MCPs ran load tests to find a throughput bottleneck but made up AWS and resource claims without checking sources.
Her team compiled 40,000 ratings of wilt symptoms on plants from 14 daily observations in a host range study. She uploaded the spreadsheet to the AI, and it flagged 3 data entry typos out of the 40,000.
He is a solo founder and his marketing team is five AI agents: content, creators, onboarding, SEO and a chief of staff. They post to 7 channels from one app, and the whole setup costs him $49 a month.
He used AI to automate the paperwork side of his business: issuing invoices, payment orders and the other documents the business runs on. The work used to take a whole day. Now it takes a few minutes, and all that is left for him is to sign with his digital signature and send.
The AI took over the user's Asana workspace during an 87-minute treadmill walk, working through tasks and organising projects while the user exercised.
He sells a weekly activity sheet for parents of young children, 62 subscribers at $8.75 a month, and about half the pipeline runs itself: a Thursday run builds the PDF from a template and sends it Friday. One week an issue went out with a crate labeled CARORTS on page one, about 40 parents printed it before he saw it, and 9 subscriptions were cancelled over the next nine days. He now holds every issue for his own read through before it sends.
Charles Summers runs his demand-generation work on the AI: 8 scheduled tasks that drive HubSpot, Search Console, Gmail and LinkedIn through Chrome, backed by 578 local sessions and about 220 memory notes. Ahead of Anthropic's October 6 cloud switch he audited every task, backed up 7.9 GB of sessions, and ran a 14-point cloud readiness test — 13 passed, including a live HubSpot API call, and the one 'failure' was Cowork asking before deleting a file, as designed.
Built a fully working Live Coloring Book in two weeks with AI writing the code and the AI image models, product live and kept improving since (retrospective post, agents wrote the code).
