A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Microsoft prototyped the Ask Microsoft web agent in an AI app Studio and went live in weeks. It moved beyond information retrieval into product evaluation and signups, then expanded across ten more product sites at two per week; customers using it visit more pages per session.
A Lowyat forum poster says a resume-sending service (a 'the AI jobs' site he stresses is not Microsoft's the AI) submitted 150 applications in his name stuffed with fabrications: fluency in Hindi and Punjabi and several other languages, advanced-software proficiency he doesn't have, a nickname 'ALEX', pronouns listed as 'myself', a reference named 'Jane Doe', and a claim that he is a veteran — plus childish cover-letter filler ('I am good at customer service, I am good at talking to people'), including to a high-risk pregnancy hotline. He calls the result absolutely humiliating.
He wanted one place where people can find all the apps he is working on. The AI built the site, beardfm.app, in about 15 minutes.
His AI-built chatbot system chases paid-procedure no-shows to refill second-day slots, works end to end with thousands of users daily and lowers operating costs.
Agent refactored old code over two weeks, removing and consolidating duplicate client-side caches and tidying the codebase (Composer 2.5 via Cursor).
The AI helps him put GA4 and Microsoft Clarity tags live, with reviews and confirmations built in so he can check the event triggers fire. Cross checking the two tools showed bots being lumped into direct traffic.
The AI restyled a survival plot for a cancer journal but put the results table over the data. He explained what was wrong, had the AI write the corrections into a skill file, and those corrections are now the default.
Prompted an agent to build a custom LLM coding harness with session resume, done in an hour and working nearly flawlessly, plus a WebFetch tool added in 5 minutes.
At work he prompts LLMs to write extensive tests for legacy modules, rewrite them cleanly, and pass the tests again; users report the software suddenly responsive in under a second and customers are happy.
He could not find any service that tracks new plays by his 30 or so favorite playwrights. Now the AI checks and tells him every week.
