A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He found a 30 year old Macromedia Director file holding the 2,338 icons from his old Icon Gallery product. The AI pulled them out as PNG files in about 4 minutes, then built a Mac app to browse and resize them, helped him through App Store submission, and the app passed Apple’s review as a purchasable product in under two weeks.
He set up a pipeline he wrote himself. Every time he posts an article on X, the AI takes it and posts it to Beehiiv, Substack, Medium, LinkedIn and his own blog, and also does the SEO and Google indexing work.
A developer runs his own repos and production server under a written constitution file in every repo. Automated runs check production logs daily and file bug reports. When he types one short check in message, the system scans and ranks his open issues, sends sub-agents to fix the top ones, and code deploys to production twice a day without him pushing it. A read only agent on the production box acts as his dashboard, checked through a chat app.
Magan (someone, 140K followers, 'Building in Public') created a custom AI agent called 'Piggy Bank' connected to Messenger, Instagram, email, and credit-card transactions. It scans sources to find all subscriptions (which she can cancel), reads Instagram DM chat history to track brand-deal payments, and generates a ledger showing how much she's owed, plus spending insights and payment reminders.
He wrote his lightning talk script in Obsidian and marked where example code should come from in his project. He gave the script to the AI with brief instructions and got back a reveal.js deck that was 95% done.
John Voorhees has his Dot, Puck, coordinate his work: he spins large projects off into AI threads and lets the Dot manage them, alongside setting up tasks, checking email and doing light research. He says the delegation has worked reliably the couple of times he has used it.
Builder Omar Villalobos says a client was losing 70% of its quotes because everything lived in scattered WhatsApp chats, so he built three parts with AI: a WhatsApp-linked form that auto-updates a CRM instead of manual copying, a pipeline dashboard showing $1.28M at stake with follow-ups due and won deals, and an ROI calculator showing a client their investment, monthly gain and payback. No recovery of the lost quotes is claimed yet.
Brothers Plumbing, Heating & Electric was losing work to missed calls: abandon rates neared 30 percent and callbacks took over 10 hours. ServiceTitan's AI Virtual Agent now answers in seconds and books jobs around the company's real capacity, service zones, technician skill sets and job types; the abandon rate fell to 5 percent, more than 600 jobs have been booked by the agent, and the company attributes $1.33 million in revenue to it.
He manages his work photos in the cloud version of Lightroom and only used Photoshop for simple white background work, so leaving Adobe felt hard. Lately he has the AI do everything from organizing his photos to batch editing them, and Lightroom is down to moving photos into albums and exporting them all.
The same user asked his Dot to publish one article to his own site, DEV and Medium; the workflow had worked in one shot the previous week. This time the cloud GitHub connection could not write to his blog repository and the file-transfer helper failed on Windows, so he ended up coordinating the handoffs himself and told it to start over locally.
