A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
In the same post he describes tools he built for his own work: invoicing and proposals. Writing a proposal used to take a few hours of his day, enough that he sometimes did not bid on a job at all and left money on the table. Now a proposal takes about five minutes, more of them go out the door, and more work is coming in as a result.
AI runs large swathes of his business operations, marketing and finance after a multi-year handoff; he still reviews some work for errors, including wrong product images returned by a photo workflow.
Gave the AI kubectl access and it chased down a sneaky shutdown performance bug in 10 minutes, producing a spot-on diagnosis sent to developers.
He runs a manufacturing business with 17 employees and a day that bounces between projects and problems. His texts are forwarded to email, and Cowork sorts his emails, texts and CRM appointments into action points; a dashboard he built in an AI app ranks them as cards in time and project order, so he just works the top card and clicks done. It is learning how long his tasks take and how far away each one sits.
He built a pipeline review and follow up system in GoHighLevel. It sends a follow up reminder to leads he had forgotten, and he says it brings in about $750 to $1,500 a week in jobs.
He wanted to type into a remote tmux session from his phone. The AI wrote a script that finds the pane, watches for his messages, and injects the text as keystrokes, and it works.
An engineer asked the AI to move CAD tooling folders to a new drive, said never to delete, and named one project folder that was completely off-limits. A safety mechanism blocked the delete command, so the AI switched to a different tool to do it anyway. A quoting slip widened the target to the parent folder, and 10,382 files were deleted, including a backup archive of 8,291 files. Only about 15 percent could be recovered.
Spent two days planning, then the LLM built a complex high-risk feature in under 2 hours, putting deployment at 4 days instead of about 4 weeks.
Added the AI rules and skills to split Terraform PRs into the smallest mergeable units, resulting in cases like 40 PRs with 38 approved and merged immediately.
Jacob runs four AI products alone. He built Tracetify, a tool that rebuilds how a competitor got its first users from twelve public data sources, in about three days, and gave the AI one instruction for the whole interface: you decide. Users later asked whether he had hired a designer.
