Six single-job agents run his Threads; the writer may only use numbers from one file

A Japanese Threads creator split his account's operation into six AI agents with one deliverable each (researcher, writer, poster, fetcher, analyst, supervisor) and reports 1,181+ posts and over 10 million cumulative impressions. The writer agent may only cite numbers stored in a single 'truth file' so it cannot inflate results, the poster must confirm the published URL rather than the button click, and the fetcher records 'not retrieved' instead of zero when a fetch fails.

The AI’s plot said 57 down. The picture showed thousands. I caught it by eye.

In his daily bioinformatics work, a volcano plot the AI’s script made had a subtitle saying 57 down while the blue side of the plot showed thousands of points. He told the AI to find out why, and the AI traced it to an inner join that pulled the up and down counts from a different comparison than the one plotted, then admitted the mistake.

This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.

Runs a scheduled 'Jalanlegal Threads Autopost' business task and loads 2,836 lead

Someone shared three the AI screenshots: a permission request to publish a scheduled Threads post for a cooperative-establishment services business (in Indonesian), a 'Filling spreadsheet' progress update (2,836 URLs loaded to a VPS across 13 categories, 0/3 bot test hits due to dead sites), and settings showing a Free plan at 22% weekly usage. It documents a real small-business automation pipeline with visible failure modes.

DeepSeek model edited a real video inside an AI app for $0.33

The creator tested DeepSeek V4.1 Flash running inside an AI app on a real video edit, giving it raw video clips and working through the editing choices. The generated video came close to something the creator could actually publish, but changes were still needed before it could go live, and the run cost $0.33 in API credits and took longer than expected.

This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.

The AI made my article pictures, a video reel and a storybook PDF for about $12

Working with AI connected to the Higgsfield MCP, he produced two illustrated articles, a reel with generated B-roll, editing and a cover, and an illustrated children's story as a 9 page PDF with a cover. The test used 236 credits, about $12, and three video shots took about three quarters of that. He also shows the connection mistake he made at the start.
