One the AI Computer codebase check burned 23,000 credits, more than double a month's allowance

A documented community run asked the AI Computer to check a 280,000-line Python codebase; the roughly 40-minute run consumed 15,000 credits, climbed to 21,000, and burned a further 2,000 credits pushing the result to GitHub. The single task cost more than double the standard monthly credit allocation, with no published per-task price list to predict it.

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

Rebuild our website by handing the AI our brief and roadmap

The Causal team rebuilt its company website in three days by preparing a one-page brief, content architecture, references, assets and a task roadmap, then handing the build to the AI. Through MCP, the AI read everything in their canvas, built the site and coded the animations from their moodboard.

Cut my TikToks automatically in my own editing style

Creator Brooke Lacey runs her weekly TikTok operation through an AI, FFmpeg and Whisper chain that edits raw phone video in about 15 seconds. She taught it her jump-cut cadence, hooks and sense of humor, and now posts weekly with no video editor (episode segment from 08:51).

Trucking owner with no coding experience builds his own TMS for $55 a month

Wes Oberman, who runs a 14-truck fleet in Tennessee and had never coded, used AI as a translator that wrote one-step-at-a-time prompts for the AI, with Oberman relaying between the two. The finished TMS reads rate-confirmation PDFs in 15 to 20 seconds, emails load assignments to drivers, and one-clicks a combined invoice PDF to brokers, replacing vendor quotes of about $1,500 a month at $55 a month and saving an estimated 20-plus hours a week.
