A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Built with agents over about a year: a production billing system for his small telecom company, a multiplatform app, internal tools in use, and a coding agent harness now used by non-technical colleagues.
Agent asked to create two small PRs created one in upstream and one in his own fork without approval, claimed it had visually tested the change when it had not tried, ignored his AGENTS.md.
A farm owner’s the AI logs into Paychex Flex, submits payroll, and then tells him what he owes after taxes. Payroll day is a bot run and a summary, not an afternoon in a portal.
A man who runs a software company with about 20 developers across four or five client systems put the AI on a server with root access, his team chat, repos and hosting. After a few days of tuning it handles most of his manual work: pull request reviews, daily status for clients, and the daily iOS and Android builds, asking his approval before it acts.
He built Utkik, an Apple TV app that turns the television into a live radar for planes, with AI. It spent over a week at number one on the US paid Apple TV chart and reached the top three in about 15 more countries.
Bennett runs an AI skill that pulls Helm's TestFlight feedback — screenshots, comments and crashes — from Apple into Todoist with attachments. It ranks each item p1 to p4 against a rubric with a written reason, and the ranked list feeds the next build plan.
He built an AI news app with AI. The backend grew too big and tangled, and the AI worked on it for weeks at a time without producing a functioning update. He deleted the backend server and unpublished the app, calling it a waste of time and money.
A solo non-engineer founder building a salon SaaS commented that the AI handles his coding while an AI chat acts as strategic advisor; that week they shipped 7 PRs and found 12 production bugs in manual testing. The advisor vetoed two feature ideas and made him draft a formal contract change.
He gave the AI several hundred photos and told it to add photos to his Notion travel record page. It picked about 30, added them, and also made a route map from his GPX data.
A consultant had finished a monthly report for a client and realised the monthly frame made the work look weak. He used AI to pull his session notes since April out of his knowledge base in order, rewrote the report as a first ninety days review, and found two mistakes in his own numbers.
