Run my 250-domain business for 30 days

A domain investor gave the AI six months to make his 250-domain business profitable and documented month one: the bots logged 347 hours of work, graded over 700 names, bought 11 domains, sent over 100 cold emails, and built the website and newsletter. Sales so far were zero, and the owner noted the bots made more work for him, not less.

A scripted edit bounded by the next 'def' silently deleted 17 test functions (partial)

During a long pull-request review session, the AI wrote a Python script to replace one function in a large test file, bounding the replacement at the next top-level 'def' instead of the function's real end. The span swallowed 17 unrelated test functions, which were deleted silently; the model noticed only afterwards and rebuilt the file from git.

The AI edited my whole video from one raw clip

Run a four-agent fleet on one laptop around the clock

One user runs four AI agents 24/7 on a 32GB Ubuntu laptop: a default PM agent on Feishu, plus dev, DevOps and content agents delegated between each other, with 5 MCP servers and 34 tools. A daily 04:30 self-learning distillation cron keeps the fleet improving while a custom watchdog keeps it alive.
