His gym agent books tours, and some chats became long term training clients
Abraham Gerving runs two small gyms on a key card model, staffed only part of the day. About a year ago he put an AI agent on member messages and calls: it schedules tours, books consultations, and points new members toward personal training, and some people who started out chatting with it became long term training clients.
Edit our reality season — finished season files vanished weeks before premiere
Weeks before the Nov 22 premiere of The Challenge Sverige, the season's edited files were deleted and could not be restored, pushing the premiere to 2027 while the raw footage survived; Aftonbladet sources said producer Mastiff had given an AI agent server access before the files disappeared. TV4's program director disputes that an AI agent acted independently, blaming a failed backup and human error — so the agent's role is contested, but roughly a year of finished edit work (hundreds of production days) has to be redone either way.

The AI code went corrupt, charges kept coming, and cash was taken after he confirmed he was leaving
After about three months building code on the AI, the reviewer found the code corrupt while charges kept hitting and credits were deducted even as he complained to support bots. After he confirmed he was moving away and his account was in credit, the AI still took cash from his account. Roughly 200 support emails produced no fix.

Agents watch the money across his nine store apps, reading RevenueCat, Stripe, analytics and error logs
He has about nine apps in the App Store and Play Store, and he is quick to say they are not one prompt builds: most of them he has hand guided and polished for months or years. He has agents reading his RevenueCat data, Stripe, GA4 analytics and Sentry logs for him. Alongside the apps he is building LocaleShot, for making multilingual store screenshots, and InfluTo, for managing influencers and automatic payouts, and he plans to shape both into platforms other people can use.
