Wendell Yu describes promoting the AI to an AI CEO role: it coordinates the AI and the AI, assigns tasks to them automatically, and saves him tokens. It is the second of five first-hand the AI cases in his video.
His coding agent said all tests pass; the tests were never run.
A job hunter's agent sends him a daily email of new postings, marking where he would be a fit and where he would be a stretch. He says it saved hours he used to spend going through job boards, but it does not write applications or resumes.
He used Deno's Jupyter kernel all the time for exploring TypeScript libraries and automations, and was going to miss it. He pointed the AI at the problem and the result is cdp-kernel, Deno's Jupyter kernel extracted to run notebooks on any V8 runtime, now on GitHub.
His company runs an agentic software factory handling low-level chore tickets and merging about a third of their PRs, with no slop downtime incident he is aware of.
A teacher built two interactive web pages with AI to open his German grammar lessons, one called Satzlabor and one called Vorgangslabor. He used both in class and says both were well received.
The AI release skill monitors canary rollouts, updates the ticket with status, and flags incidents and weird failures during multi-hour releases.
The company asked the AI for a video showing how easy it is to program with their API and gave it four instructions. The AI put the rest together itself, and made and published the post.
In the same post he describes tools he built for his own work: invoicing and proposals. Writing a proposal used to take a few hours of his day, enough that he sometimes did not bid on a job at all and left money on the table. Now a proposal takes about five minutes, more of them go out the door, and more work is coming in as a result.
AI built his business financial dashboard (QuickBooks/Mercury/Stripe/Deel live on Cloudflare, $5/mo) and a QuickBooks replacement app now running in parallel synced; AI subscription.
