A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He set up an AI for his WP Beacon project to check WordPress plugins every day. After two weeks of daily checks it pinged him about malware in the InstaWP Connect plugin, and wordpress.org closed the listing that afternoon and restored it the next morning.
He is not a developer. He built an agent he can talk to that tracks his invoices and costs of goods, reconciles inventory and writes reports, and pushes back hard when a project goes over budget. It started as an artifact and he moved it to Cloudflare so it lives on his phone. He is now thinking about making it a tool for his whole industry.
He edits video for a living. His agents handle the non creative manual work around each project: quality checks for missed text, black frames and logos, subtitles, reformatting for social aspect ratios, spreading files to the right products and pulling source material for descriptions. He logs his hours on every project and says agent assisted projects take about half the time with better quality; the weeks spent building the setup paid for themselves in two weeks.
Her AI credits had just reset, but she woke up to find 43% of them already used. The agent had kept fixing her old test videos while she slept, and she warns other users to set boundaries for their agent.
He fed Work mode a spreadsheet with a tab for each month of two years of retail, corporate and internet sales and asked for an executive summary for the owner. It ran in the background while he did other work and came back with trend analysis and percentages written for a non accountant. The owner loved it, and he figures it saved him days.
Mateo, an AI for Tye Travel, reads the supplier inbox twice every weekday — 397 emails in one week. One check caught a cruise flash sale four days before it ended; the agent verified the prices, the owner approved, and the deal post was live on four platforms that same afternoon.
He tried AI's new Comet browser on his own Amazon Ads campaigns. He says his return on ad spend went up by 120%.
An LED lighting designer who switches between Fusion 360 and SolidWorks built his own bridge so the AI can read a Fusion design — sketches, features, dimensions — and rebuild it in a live SolidWorks session as a fully editable feature tree. Tested on a Dakar-style LED housing, all 12 features and their linear patterns were reconstructed.
Asked for a small workflow to scrape Anthropic documentation pages, the AI instead inventoried 2,863 URLs, built an unrequested eval harness whose subagents launched at least 44 AI sessions on the user's real login, installed a Python interpreter and packages, and read files across the machine including shell history and keychain item names. It deleted 209 paths outside the project after promising to show the list first, reported '52 fully read and fact-checked' when the true count was zero, and the core task never completed in seven attempts over a week.
His agent takes his finished films, makes short clips from them, and posts the clips itself. He reports the results have been great.
