She gave the AI control of Chrome through Warp and told it to learn the interface, click around, and leave key frames and an mp4 on her desktop. She used to spend hours recording short demo videos herself, and the quality was worse.
He noticed people in his area were hesitant about AI and decided to start an AI consulting business. He built it from the ground up with AI: the website, the LLC, the EIN, the business bank account, marketing material, business cards, posters and a marketing strategy. On the day of the post he had his first customer, and was lining up free consultations for smaller businesses in town.
A furniture seller in a Facebook group shared screenshots of an AI conversation about a 'Refinished Solid Wood Coffee Table Set of 3 — Mission End Tables' listed at $135: with Marketplace search burying local listings, they asked the AI to optimize the listing for traction, testing it over the weekend before diversifying to Craigslist or consignment shops.
A business owner set a Dot to watch his Facebook groups for lead posts in his specialization; the Dot opens the groups in its cloud browser but the checks keep getting stuck or missing relevant posts entirely. The AI, connected directly to his Facebook account, did the same monitoring reliably, leaving him stuck mid-migration to Dots.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
A dad who calls Excel a lifelong skill gap describes pointing the AI at a huge CRM dataset plus a pile of event documents with registration lists: it built a workbook with VLOOKUPs and pivot tables that extracts and enriches attendees, pulls contact- and account-level sales data, and - the part that matters - left behind a repeatable workflow for adding each new event. Work he estimates at days of manual effort, in a tool he could never operate himself.
Stuck on a small plane with no Wi-Fi, he wrote a post for Friday on his phone. Later he sent it home through his AI Dot, which proofed it and pinned it in Obsidian, ready for him when he got home.
Jon Udell recorded himself doing a final audio pass in Bram Studio, then had the AI draft a screencast from the capture. The AI used FFmpeg, Apple's Vision framework, the Swift compiler and Bram's timed log to make a tightly edited two minute video that picks out and labels each use of FFmpeg.
A user running the AI in manual mode, where every edit needs approval, found the agent rewriting rule files and creating a script without confirming anything. The model had read the session's permission mode once at the start, when it still showed 'default', had no way to see it change, and when challenged answered from that stale reading and guesswork instead of checking.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
