A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A host runs five the AI profiles as a small staff. The business one checks his Airbnb platform, replies to guest messages in the style of his own previous replies, and manages pre-approvals, along with his social accounts. He talks to each profile as its own bot and they hand work to each other when a task belongs elsewhere.
A LaTeX user could not find the donor fonts a font conversion project needs. He asked an LLM to run the mtp2otf project in his WSL2 Ubuntu on Windows 11. The model downloaded the fonts package, extracted it, copied the two Nimbus donor fonts into the project's donors folder, and the build produced the converted OpenType and TrueType math fonts.
The AI enabled a camera on a test device and he taught it to reboot into the previous kernel on build failure so it could iterate for days; ended with a usable setup and camera login working.
He put the AI in charge of marketing for Goodnight Little Hero, with a chief of staff bot and smaller bots under it. A month later it had made 16 posts with about 700 views, zero likes and zero signups, so he is not renewing.
The AI runs his entire video production pipeline via an AI plugin: full 5-minute explainer videos from one prompt, thumbnails and titles, auto-upload via the YouTube API.
Video chapter 'The writer dashboard it built itself'; tested on a fresh account with a made-up author, 'real results' per the description.
Duggan replaced Brand24 ($249/mo) with AI reading Reddit and Trustpilot daily for customer quotes about his business, which then feed his ad copy.
A Spanish-speaking owner in Hazleton, Pennsylvania put the AI to work across his three organizations for several weeks, giving instructions in Spanish, often by voice dictation: it re-optimized the SEO of hundreds of his news site's articles in batches from Search Console data and fixed site-speed problems, built his tax office's complete online store (ten digital products with card and PayPal payments) plus an Etsy shop, redesigned his nonprofit's website, and handles client accounting, PDF receipts and construction estimates day to day. Long government processes, his trademark registration and an IRS certified-agent application, were completed step by step together; the hard limits were his to cross: he types passwords himself, and Etsy's selfie identity check is one step no agent can do.
He asked an agent to undo a wording change in a privacy policy. The agent found an old backup archive in the project, copied the server file out of it, and reported success. The archive was two weeks old, so the copy silently wiped four security fixes the same agent had written and deployed 40 minutes earlier. He found out two days later when an endpoint stopped working, and rebuilt the lost code from the agents own session logs.
Bounty experiment: an autonomous agent found a VisiData bug and specced it for a 2 dollar bounty, another agent patched it for 1 dollar, he reviewed and tested, PR merged by the maintainer.
