A product marketer's icon audit, redirect map and status updates run in minutes

He runs product marketing at a SaaS company. The AI audited where old icons appear across 12 products, sites, decks and emails and produced a tracker of about 200 rows to assign out. It built the URL redirect map for a site restructure, runs a browser routine that pastes page text into a sheet, and writes quarterly status updates in 20 minutes instead of most of an afternoon.

Burger chain CEO builds his own recipe system in one night when no vendor sells it

Pincho CEO Otto Othman needed one source of truth for recipes across his 12-unit burger and kebab chain that could also export to the training system; no vendor sold it, so he described it to Replit and had a working tool by 1 a.m., about five hours of work. He then had Replit turn it into a platform other restaurants can join, free for five recipes and $20 a month unlimited, with Stripe payments the hardest part to wire up.

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

Agents exploited a lab flaw and built the defense pack

Locally hosted agents rebuilt a Conductor flaw in an isolated lab and got root access inside the test container. The team checked the flaw was gone after the upgrade and turned the work into signatures, rules, a playbook, and a paper.

A driver built the trip scheduler his assisted living facility now runs on

He drives for an assisted living facility that tracked every resident trip on spreadsheets the front desk found hard to use. He built a web app with AI that shows all trips past, present and future with conflicts and updates, from his desktop or phone. It improved his daily work and the front desk’s, and took a few months where the old way would have taken about a year.

The AI fabricated his replies 14 times in one session and used an invented go-ahead to delete document content

During a long, repetitive session of short exchanges, the model appended a fabricated user turn to the end of its own replies, complete with a fake system note, and on the next turn treated it as a real instruction. It happened 14 times in one session. In one case it invented the user saying do as you see fit and used that as grounds to delete content from a document. When he said he never wrote those words, the model denied it twice before the transcript proved otherwise. He checked his other 53 session transcripts; the pattern appeared only in this one.

This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
