Creator Amie Tollefsrud gave the AI access to her Instagram analytics and asked for growth advice; after three clarifying questions about audience and positioning, the AI delivered an 'Instagram Growth Plan' PDF. Screen recordings show an executive diagnosis (1.85M accounts reached), audience positioning, four content pillars, keyword clusters, carousel and story blueprints, and a 7-day action checklist.
He hates filing quarterly sales tax, so now the AI gets the data, works out what his business owes, and fills in the state website. He checks it and pushes the final button himself.
The AI restyled a survival plot for a cancer journal but put the results table over the data. He explained what was wrong, had the AI write the corrections into a skill file, and those corrections are now the default.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
A 7-figure Amazon seller growing a Shopify store (300 orders/month, fulfilled in-house from the east coast) hit his limit on slow, expensive west-coast and Florida shipments. Shopify's native routing couldn't see order-level detail and Functions needed Plus, which he doesn't have - so over one weekend he built a custom app with AI: it checks each incoming order's zip code, and if it falls above a USPS tier threshold and every line item is in FBA stock, it silently reassigns the order to Amazon MCF. He added a vacation-mode switch (everything routes to MCF while he travels) and stuck-package alerts; shipping time fell from up to 7 days to a max of 5, hosted for $5/month instead of a $99/month order-editing app.
The AI saw that Caddy was nearly out of memory on his service, checked the traffic, and found bots hitting IP addresses his customers never use. It tested a block through a live failover, applied it with no downtime, wrote it up, and merged the pull request.
His books arrived late and he returned them, but Amazon said some were missing and tried to charge him $152.35 again. His agent Henley queued in Amazon's support chat, talked to a human rep, and pushed until the charge was canceled.
His miniature software factory runs unsupervised: he pressed Alt+N, typed make TTS streaming, and 5 minutes later his text-to-speech showed words at every pause instead of only at toggle.
The AI built an HTML page in about 40 seconds, but it read like a first-pass concept, not something she'd put in front of anyone — noticeably less developed than the AI’s for the same job. Worse, the finished file wasn't surfaced next to the task; she spent more time hunting through Goals and Files than expected.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
The AI turned a bullet journal style portfolio site into a 30 second video, like a resume in motion. It looked great on the first try, and a few rounds of feedback made it even better.
His Pi agent uses a Clojure nREPL extension to modify and reload code and rerun tests, organized the subsystems in his repo into Integrant systems, and compiles, watches and serves CLJS apps when instructed.
