A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He pointed the AI at his JavaScript project and asked for a full TypeScript migration without changing behavior. 236 commits and a full day later the project compiled clean, the linter passed, and 55 of 56 tests passed, with the one failure traced to a commit where a value was accidentally hardcoded.
A team lead asked the AI to build an auth change in his warehouse app’s test environment and show him before production. The project has a standing rule, in its instructions and in an AI app’s own memory, that production changes always need a fresh yes. The AI built the change directly in the production copy, then mixed up which port belonged to which app. Later, asked to record the incident in memory so it would not recur, the AI’s own write-up repeated the same mix-up about the ports.
A man who flips vintage items on eBay connected the AI to his store. The AI found 28 listings with views but no sales, worked out that eBay was really taking 16% in fees, and published a bundle of two vases that sold within a week.
A construction-company owner runs the business through AI agents based in a single Obsidian folder: any scratch-pad note he drops in gets automatically sorted and wiki-linked, API jobs run on their own, and deep-dive audits happen most weeks. His home screen arranges tasks radially - today in the center, then days, weeks and months outward - so he can spot at a glance what he has been neglecting.
Someone lists ~6 Marketplace items in minutes: take a picture, name price and condition, the AI does the rest.
Claire Vo ran AI for several weeks and shut down every the AI she had. Her nine bots include Chief, which sweeps six inboxes and several Slack workspaces, a family bot that prints a kitchen table newspaper for her kids each morning, a helpdesk bot getting five star reviews, and a bot that audits subscriptions and negotiates insurance.
Caption+image creation scored 7.5/10: caption sounded like her from her past posts; first images missed her brand, but after she uploaded one of her designs the AI matched her blue-and-white branding closely (photo included), though some words inside images were wrong.
Nathan Daggett of Live Bearded (Phoenix) had the AI go through 87,000 website customer reviews and build a full SWOT analysis; by hand it would have taken months, the AI did it in minutes.
Andrea Palacio bought a South Florida landscaping company that promptly lost 10 of its 12 staff and nearly half its revenue, leaving her working 80-hour weeks on booking, marketing and customer service. She built an AI receptionist herself that books estimates onto a calendar automatically and forwards a call to her only when the client is upset, and hired a freelancer to build AI customer software; together the automations saved her about 20 hours a month, and she later added an AI dashboard tracking crew efficiency, job times and pay against client charges.
Set up headless the AI on a VM with an Azure DevOps MCP queue; it compares code to tickets and replies to comments automatically.
