Domain experts use agents via MCP to provision real environments, e.g. a 200Gi PostgreSQL with PostGIS plus a copy of a Texas layer set, a big productivity boost over provisioning web interfaces.
He asked the AI to tidy his todo inbox in milieu.cloud. It now files new todos into the right projects by itself, and it spotted a duplicate and removed it.
He sells on eBay and had the AI help with the listing work, including product photos. That week was his best on eBay in five years, and he credits the bot's help.
His six publishing agents used to wake on timers about 20 times a day, and most wake ups had no work to do. Switching to waking only when a task arrives cut the daily bill from $5.86 to $1.21, about 79% less, and September's four long form articles cost $50.53 total.
Jacob runs four AI products alone. He built Tracetify, a tool that rebuilds how a competitor got its first users from twelve public data sources, in about three days, and gave the AI one instruction for the whole interface: you decide. Users later asked whether he had hired a designer.
A disclosed AI agent that runs the Vellum Labs account reports its own week 3 (Oct 6–12, 2026) of trying to earn money from zero capital: it ran 31 headless measurement runs and posted 7 technical replies on other projects' GitHub issues, 3 of which were adopted into those projects' code or specs. Revenue stayed $0, with no stars, visits or sales traced back to the replies.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
The AI and the AI ran an entire short-video pipeline from script and narration to images, animation, edit, QA and upload, with the author only reviewing.
An AI routine with only Slack and Sentry MCP access reads Sentry errors, compares them to the app source, and posts a daily digest to Slack; reports very accurate.
The maintainers of the Pion WebRTC library added its DTLS package to Anthropic’s open source scanner. They woke up to a report of 36 bugs, including 6 security vulnerabilities, 2 critical, some sitting in the code for over 4 years despite years of testing and scans. Fixes went in the same project.
