Independent musician someone lists 11 daily tasks he delegates to the AI: Gmail cleanup, Meta ad campaign management, email list building, unclaimed royalty tracking, PayPal subscription audits, a disco-house culture digest, Instagram DM opportunity scanning, tour travel booking, gear deal hunting, finance consolidation and streaming stats. He states in replies that he is not paid and that the AI is free.
Opus 5.5 built an imapsync wrapper used for a week-long migration of 5.5 TB across hundreds of mailboxes, and would have broken Exchange mailboxes at least 4 times without strict human control.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
Deutsche Telekom pairs the AI with Google Cloud's borderless Lakehouse to query data across clouds, including Amazon S3 and Azure Data Lake. Thirty thousand users now analyze data four times faster.
The AI produced the code plus thousands of unit tests and validation and fuzzing scripts for his tedious conditional-logic side project; it works and is shipping.
Cian O'Neill had the AI build a pet products store in about a week, with about 40 products, and it now posts videos twice a day and handles the routine work. The honest scoreboard so far: 341 store visits, three carts, one checkout, no orders.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
A creator gave the AI a screen recording and asked for a setup tutorial; the agent produced a HeyGen video presented by her own avatar. It kept her preferences in memory for follow-up video work.
A developer gave the AI a token for his code repo and set a two hour cycle. The AI checks the issues page, makes a branch for each issue, writes the fix or change, and opens a pull request. Merges rebuild the app and serve it on his home network, and the AI texts him on Telegram when it has a question or when work is done. He uses the app daily and files features as issues, which are handled within a couple of hours.
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.
