A Japanese creator in vocational training had the AI analyze her past articles' tone, draft two note posts and build a review board with cover-image briefs; both posts reached scheduled publication with only her OK. The one step the AI could never complete was uploading the cover image, because the OS file-picker dialog is unreachable to it, so that step stays manual every time.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
The AI wrote my half yearly performance review from my emails and chats
For his half yearly performance review, he pointed the AI at his emails and Teams chats, loaded in his goals and objectives, and let it run. The review it produced made him look brilliant.

I built an online game on a Raspberry Pi between farm jobs. It made $3,000.
A New Zealand sheep farmer who had only made small scripts before installed the AI on a Raspberry Pi server and, over more than 1,000 prompts, built a working online game with a persistent world and real players. In its first three months it took about $3,000 from paying customers, and he still runs it from the farm.

Every night my bots turn the fixes people make into new rules
When a person fixes something one of his bots wrote, the bot writes down what it said and what the person changed it to. A nightly task reads those changes and writes the rule it thinks they point to, and in a year the bots have picked up more than 40 rules this way.
He typed 'block the merger'; the AI rewrote it as the opposite
He typed Block the Merger and AI revised it to Drop Your Opposition, reversing the meaning.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
Mine my TikTok comments into my next video scripts
Brooke Lacey explains that her TikTok comments became her content brief: she mines audience comments with AI to generate the scripts for her next videos. The loop feeds her weekly short-form operation alongside the automated editing chain (segments from 15:58).
The AI made a spreadsheet of a 500 object Salesforce schema in five minutes
Asked at the last minute for a spreadsheet of a complex Salesforce setup, he had the AI build it. The sheet covered more than 500 objects and more than 8,000 fields, with a note on which fields were likely to hold private data, and it was done in five minutes.
Run my moving-company marketing with three always-on bots and a 35-minute morning approval pass
A moving/junk-removal owner says three the AI run his marketing agency work: a Google Business Profile posts bot drafting daily posts in each client's voice, a review-replies bot generating three reply options per new review, and a GoHighLevel bot logging leads, creating call-back tasks and drafting follow-ups. His morning pass runs 6:30, 6:45 and 7:00 AM approving posts, picking replies and sending follow-ups, done by 7:05 with nothing left open; the bots are logged into Gmail, Quo, Stripe, Wix, GoHighLevel and Google Business Profile.
