A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Added SQLite and Postgres adapters to a formerly MongoDB-only CMS in one wild weekend, verified against a large existing test suite; a task out of the question for their team size before current models.
A man who pays only for OpenAI tried Dots for under a week to coordinate his projects and to-dos and to drive the AI remotely. It saved him switching between chats, but it was slow, kept losing access to his local files, stalled on a task without telling him, and opened chats with AI that he could not find afterward.
For a cleaning business, the AI manages contacts, drafts client messages, chases reviews and maintains the CRM, holding every outbound message for approval before it sends.
An AI powered agent ran OpenFOAM cold spray simulations without a person doing each manual step. It read deposit results, spotted failed runs from solver logs, and decided the next simulation, with an animation made for each run.
An IT provider managing multiple Microsoft 365 client tenants asks the AI to take a new-user request straight from email, create the user in the right tenant, and email the client back with the details - work his technicians previously did by hand across many tenants.
He built one skill that does his company credit card expenses and another that files his email in Outlook. Both were manual jobs he hated. Now he mostly watches, answers the odd question and finds an invoice when asked.
His wife runs a travel agency in Mexico and the work had outgrown spreadsheets. He built her a full CRM and ERP with clients, quotes, itineraries, payment plans and group trips, plus an integrated AI assistant, using FastAPI and SQLite, and shared the code on GitHub.
A man with no coding experience used AI to generate a VBA script in Excel. The script fixed a manual data entry gap at his work and took the risk of typos and misreads out of the job.
Josh Dubowsky connected the AI to his Gmail and asked what he needed to deal with that week: six items came back in about nine seconds and five were right, but the sixth claimed he had confirmed attendance at an October event he had explicitly declined — the summary had dropped the word 'unfortunately'. Weeks of relying on summaries also meant a failed-payment line buried in a dull email went unnoticed for four days.
He uses AI to check his email hourly, mostly overnight, handling customer mail and marketer pitches while it does not act during the day. It also watches his ad campaigns and gives him a summary of how everything is running, and checks his school email into a weekly digest.
