Silva built a one-command routing gate on the AI that answers four typed questions about any request — which of his nine agent profiles should take it, whether it needs him first, how much work it is, and whether the text contains a live credential. On five real requests it flagged a key-shaped string at 0.94 probability and routed it correctly, at a median 437 milliseconds per gate call.
Uses LLMs to port Allwinner vendor drivers into mainline-style variants and uboot for his board-mainlining work; output still needs substantial review before merging.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
After the cancellation mess, Curtis wrote a one-page scorecard for the role (mission, five measurable first-year outcomes, six competencies), pasted it into the prompt and had the AI map each candidate's track record to each outcome with evidence from the résumé. With a human making every cut and applications closed before booking, the process ended in a Director of Ecommerce hire who has already optimized the company's Amazon listings and helped launch a product — and a declined candidate was later hired as a TikTok consultant.
A solo developer is building an independent Rust blockchain from a white paper. AI coding agents write most of the code under his direction, and AI models review it. An agent implemented the fix for a stake counting overflow in the consensus check, and the developer decides what merges and runs the tests.
Shipped a RAG customer-service agent for an online seller that sent 1,467 or more replies automatically to real buyers and ran the chat channel unattended.
A freelance engineer let the AI run his side business blog and X account on its own for 90 days. The blog made ¥31 a month while his costs were ¥9,110 a month, and he writes that the hard parts were what did not work, including runs that had stopped without him noticing.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
Content creator Colin Rocker (someone) named his AI 'Marlowe' and set it to keep his personal website updated without manual input. Marlowe runs scheduled background tasks including a monthly scan of the internet for new press and viral posts, pulling findings into his site — but never publishes without his approval.
Jay Kranda, the Innovative Tech Pastor at Saddleback Church, has the AI check the church's Rock RMS people-management database every Monday and Thursday at 5am. It reviews all 124 scheduled jobs in the system and reports back in plain English which ones are erroring, so problems surface before Sunday instead of during it.
