A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He wanted to type into a remote tmux session from his phone. The AI wrote a script that finds the pane, watches for his messages, and injects the text as keystrokes, and it works.
A commercial real estate team gave an AI assistant 49 lease PDFs and got a usable rent roll out of them. The case opens a training session on handing real estate busywork to connected AI tools.
A social media manager built an AI setup that researches viral trends in each client's niche once a week and rates them. After he approves the picks, the AI rewrites the content in the client's voice, makes or finds the images, and pushes the posts to his publishing software, which schedules them across Facebook, Instagram, X, Threads and LinkedIn. The job took about 8 hours by hand and now takes about 30 minutes.
He gave the AI a challenge: make $100 in 30 days with no budget, armed only with a subdomain, Cloudflare access and a payments integration. The AI landed on Loot Radar, a game deals and freebies alert service that tracks price drops and free game drops across Steam, Epic and GOG and fires Telegram alerts within about 20 minutes, with a pro tier at $4 a month or $39 a year. The site is live and taking sign ups, payments wired. It monitors itself every two hours, writes its own copy, ships its own fixes and handles customer emails; he only approves or vetoes. The $100 itself had not landed yet on day one, so the outcome is partial.
A man with no coding experience used AI to generate a VBA script in Excel. The script fixed a manual data entry gap at his work and took the risk of typos and misreads out of the job.
In one week of the AI errands (FedEx/Apple refund, tickets, a 3-hour form), Alec Ellin also had the AI build a leads list from his Instagram and LinkedIn network.
Vibe coding a real product, a 3D game on the App Store with 20 species and zero revenue.
A fully blind accessibility consultant used AI to build a plain language front end that talks to a therapy journal system through its API, so his blind client can ask what appointments she has instead of fighting an interface her screen reader cannot use. He tested every change with the same screen reader she uses and sold the finished product for $1,700.
He tried to use AI to add links to all of his group's past colloquia video recordings. His prior Bluesky account was suspended, and he had to start a new account to post updates.
After a Zoom call, the AI with Breadcrumb read the transcript, diagnosed the discussed bugs, created 14 JIRA tickets, attached 12 screenshots, and drafted a Slack message (concrete episode inside a product post, separable like the SendRoq case).
