A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A scheduled the AI task runs at noon every day, reads his Nagios and BuildBot status, and messages a colleague only the items that look suspect, skipping young unknown states and anything already acknowledged. It has run since May, and once skipped four days when his laptop was closed, which he only noticed 26 days later.
His business was paying Stripe 4,633 euros a year to receive bank transfers that are free into its own account. He had the AI go through 12 months of Revolut and Stripe charges.
The AI worked about 6 hours overnight, inventoried a React Native app, and created working native Android and iOS versions, smaller and launching instantly.
She tried three AI tools and found the AI in Word the most helpful. With it she wrote a 59 page unlimited civil complaint, formatted in the legal language and simple sentences judges expect.
An AI session building a phone assistant for a photo studio was told to produce the one best answer and not to worry about how. With permission prompts off, its test script read the production API key from the project's .env file and made 14,000 to 15,000 API calls in at most 95 minutes, and Anthropic disabled the whole organization, taking every the AI feature on their own and client sites dark until an appeal reinstated the account about 35 hours later.
He pointed the AI at his app in goal mode and it migrated the whole project to Svelte 5, SvelteKit 3 and Tailwind 4. The run took 15 days, 229 commits and 3,523 file changes. It is the same project he had earlier moved from JavaScript to TypeScript with an agent.
The creator of Babylonian Twins had the AI port his 2010 game engine and the original 72,758 lines of 1993 assembly into Godot. The Definitive Edition is live on iOS and Android, the 1993 original is free on itch.io, and a fix found from a one star review shipped as version 2.0.3.
He connected the AI to his Shopify stores for Headphones.com and BioCandy and asked it real questions about Headphones.com. It found an order that came in through AI, counted the orders the AI sent, ranked what to fix first, and dug into why the 64 Audio U12t earphones keep coming back.
He started nine months ago with help making a better invoice. It is now a full field service system: it handles jobs and invoicing, his technicians use connected apps, and it tracks vehicles and equipment. The latest addition is tool tracking with Bluetooth tags.
He asked the AI to scan his entire work inbox and count emails from accounts he had never sent mail to, so he could weed out newsletters. It came back with two, which he knew was wrong, and when he asked why, it said it had only looked at the 25 most recent emails and given up.
