The AI wrote a POSIX vi implementation from the POSIX specs over a weekend; he has used it for over a month with no fault found in its POSIX implementation.
He nearly canceled the AI at $200 a month for lack of value. Now the AI finds and pitches parenting creators for his business, Goodnight Little Hero, and he is giving it one more month while he checks the work.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
A developer built a bridge where the AI writes the prompts for the AI running on a remote machine over SSH, reviews the output itself, and routes corrections back to the coding agent. One agent manages and quality-checks another agent's code work.
He says his business got serious about Power BI reporting about twelve months ago, then three months ago threw it out and replaced it with AI licences. A third party warehouse tidies the data with an MCP on top, and the finance team now builds its own reports quickly instead of waiting on a reporting team.
She is the training coordinator at her job and tracks everyone's certification hours in a color coded Excel workbook. She still had to log into the training website, check each person's hours, and type them in. Now the AI checks the training website for every employee, fills the hours into her uploaded workbook, and emails her the updated workbook and a report. It runs on its own on the 1st of each month.
The AI built him a set of local jobs on a Mac mini, and no model runs inside them. New Todoist tasks print as small tickets within half a minute, and at 7:30 each morning a brief prints and arrives by email with the day's calendar, overdue tasks, weather for two towns, and two clients' numbers from the day before, each set against its seven day average.
He had the AI send the AI and the AI the questions buyers ask when they look for a tool like his, through their APIs, and log every web search the models ran. Then the AI wrote SEO pages for those exact questions.
