Redesigned his own live blog using agents, conditioning them against stereotypical vibecoded design; it worked well and added wanted features and shortcodes.
I hand the AI my shop statements. It pulls the numbers and drafts the email to send back.
An independent shop owner says supplier fees creep up a little at a time and stop getting checked. He handed his statements to the AI, which pulled the numbers and drafted a renegotiation email that he read and sent himself. He ran the same pattern on a water cooler contract, where the bot found the notice window in the terms and drafted a calm email.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
Ran a 48-hour creative-business project: organized ideas, planned content, created working systems,

Gave the AI garage-sale photos and a price; it autonomously created a live

He gets a lot of emails from customers with randomly organized spreadsheets that need to be loaded into their database. Now he can just say grab so-and-so’s email and work it. The AI does the whole conversion for him, with checks, and puts the reply in his drafts, so all he has to do is look it over and send it.
Keep my content queue filled — AI let it run empty and the morning post never went out
In someone's weekly 'what my AI got wrong' log, the AI let the content queue run completely empty, so a scheduled morning post was missed — and it never warned the creator the queue was running low. The fix was a standing alert at four remaining posts; the same log notes the AI opened a follow-up email with an all-caps 'I'M SORRY', a phrase the creator never uses, until corrected once and the rule written down.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
