A man built a service that sits on his company’s GitHub repos. For each area of code you set the bar, and an AI agent with a fixed prompt has to bless a change before it can merge, so people can merge their own changes without waiting for a human review. About 30% of the company’s pull requests now merge this way.
Edit every Reel on my channel by typing, not timelines
A short-form creator says every Reel on the channel is now made without Premiere, After Effects or CapCut: he types what he wants and the AI, driven by a personal video-editing skill and a written guidance book, builds the video with Remotion, checks its own work, takes revisions by chat, and handles sound design, covers, captions and posting prep. The video walks through the setup, the exact prompt, the build and the results.
Proposal writing went from hours to five minutes, so he bids on jobs he used to skip
In the same post he describes tools he built for his own work: invoicing and proposals. Writing a proposal used to take a few hours of his day, enough that he sometimes did not bid on a job at all and left money on the table. Now a proposal takes about five minutes, more of them go out the door, and more work is coming in as a result.

The AI finds the files people shared with me in Teams and email
Her job is Teams messages and email all day, and brain fog makes finding things hard. She asks the AI to find a file by who shared it with her, and it finds it.
The AI’s logo for my wife’s dental practice fell apart at print size. A designer fixed it in an hour.
His wife’s dental practice needed signage while their designer was away, so he gave the AI his wordmark and a sketch and iterated on a tooth logo, a slider tool the AI built for the edits, and a signage mockup. Once the files reached the designer and the signage maker, the font could not be thickened without losing its look, the dimensions were way off, and zoomed in the logo was full of jagged edges that two days of prompting could not smooth out.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
I made my first dollar with AI. The client loved the design on the first try.
A client needed a small design job that would have taken him hours. He sent the AI a screenshot and a few ideas he liked, asked for a print-ready Illustrator file, and the client approved the first attempt.
