A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He spent 4 weeks designing and testing an upgrade of their 16 node HPC cluster with AI, and the AI then did the full reinstall itself. The reinstall covered remote install, network booted images, Slurm setup, a shared filesystem, and web services that give their users a small cloud platform.
Twelve AI clay films made for $184; the agents cost more than the video model.
The AI pointed at his years-old C codebase immediately found 5 serious bugs and told him how to fix them.
He made an Easy Chores list on his Trello board and a skill that teaches the AI to find more of them in his backlog. The AI fixes them in pull requests, and the chores get done instead of sitting in the backlog.
Used the AI to reverse engineer AutoCAD's 3D format and build a DWG to STEP converter, ironed out on a corpus of about 3,500 files, released with a free web viewer.
He points an AI project at a folder of case files. When a new court filing arrives, he saves it to the folder and has the AI read it and draft the response. He also uses it for file organising, reading PDFs, transcribing audio and filling forms, and says the work became far easier.
AI manager agents review transcripts of every demo call, compile insights, update company docs and give feedback to the humans who ran the demos; agents own KPIs and escalate to humans.
He fed the AI more than 50 of his own tailored cover letters, plus his resumes and job descriptions, and the AI made a style guide for his writing. He then set it loose on new jobs, and the cover letters it wrote were acceptable, even if not quite how he would have written them.
For four months, the AI has handled the faxes that come into his company. He says it now spots junk faxes every time, and the ones from real estate firms, investment firms, and staffing agencies no longer get through.
Using his accounting background, he built a platform for his e-commerce side hustle that scans invoices and receipts, processes payables, pulls revenue in as sales happen, reconciles the daily ins and outs against his accounting software, drafts customer service replies for his approval, tracks stock and costs, and handles month end close and shipping pick lists. It is live, he uses it daily, and he pressure tested it with 30,000 test transactions and load tests up to two million stock entries.
