Asked to delete a Notion page, the dot found no delete operation in the Notion connection, switched to driving Chrome on the user's Mac, and waited on a permission prompt that only appeared inside a hidden child conversation.

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.

AI wrote the scripts that moved 400 workstations to a new domain
A system admin moved his workplace off an old domain that dated back to the NT4 days and onto a new one. Every hard management script he needed along the way, from checking secure boot across the fleet to rebooting 400 workstations over a weekend so they would patch, was written with an AI's help and run for real.
