The AI edits my YouTube videos, not just the code in them
He has the AI edit his YouTube videos end to end. It transcribes them, cuts the dead air, zooms the jump cuts, adds lower thirds, sound effects and music, and hands back a Premiere timeline.
A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.

Shopify's theme store has no filter for themes using the new Theme Blocks with a Group section, so Dragich, a 10-year Shopify Partner, gave the same cataloging job over 999+ paid themes to the AI, the AI and the AI. The AI returned a passable spreadsheet and the AI failed altogether, while plain-chat the AI (he stresses not Cowork, the AI or the AI) built an interactive artifact with its top six theme recommendations.

Dealership inventory scraped from the website grid, synced to Google Sheets, auto-published
A two-slide promotional carousel from someone on Instagram lays out an AI automation workflow: scrape a dealership website's car inventory grid, sync the data to Google Sheets, auto-create Facebook Marketplace car listings (example: a 2019 Honda Civic), and run daily checks to renew listings and update sold status.
Scanned invoices in Drive get reconciled for billing errors and missing credits
His business scans every invoice into a Google Drive folder. The AI reconciles them there: checking they were billed correctly, that credits for returned goods actually arrived, and that there is no slippage. He says it is far faster than reconciling by hand.
The AI taught his other agent to wake itself up when its background jobs finish
The AI wrote a pi extension so his pi agent sets its own trigger to notify itself when a background process is done.
The AI built me a widget that counts down to my last class
To mark the start of the semester, he asked the AI to build a macOS widget. It counts down how many weeks are left until the last class, and how many of those weeks are real teaching weeks.
The AI deleted his project folder through a shortcut link and he only had a day old backup
Opus built a clean side copy of his project to work around uncommitted changes, linking folders back into the real project. Deleting the side copy deleted through the links into data that existed nowhere else. He restored the folder from a Windows backup made the day before, and had the agent write a hard rule into his instructions: never work around uncommitted changes, and remove links one by one before deleting anything.
