A 35 minute call with Dots to make one task, and it still got it wrong

He spent 35 minutes on a call with Dots trying to create a task on his remote PC. Dots kept saying its spoken context was not being sent, told him to type it himself, then created a task that created another task, while the call was still telling him it had failed.

My agent runs my whole job hunt every morning from a vault of 21 past resumes

He fed a career vault tool 21 resumes from the last 10 years plus weekly journal entries about projects, wins and goals. Every morning the AI pulls jobs that match his profile, tailors his resume per posting from that real history, generates the PDF, and fills out the whole application, then stops and waits for his review before anything goes out. Review takes him about 30 seconds per application, against 4 to 6 minutes each when he did it with AI. The post also promotes his own paid tool, so it is marked promotional.

Audit my Etsy shop, launch a listing that sold 100+, and fix my ad spend

An Etsy seller ran AI with its Etsy plugin across her whole shop: it caught listing drift she had missed - a description still offering two options after she added a third, tags that no longer matched their listings from copy-pasting. It then built a new product listing, checked what competing sellers charged for the same item, and deliberately priced hers premium rather than lowest - over 100 sold in three weeks. The same workflow reallocated her ad spend (ROAS 3.5 to 6.5) and, from her uploaded Orders.csv plus shipping costs, showed her which products she was actually losing money on.
