Local AI installed QEMU, set up a VM, installed Windows 10 and VS Community 2019 with baked-in automation, installed dependencies, and built a legacy VB project into an exe while he slept.
When a customer bug report comes in, the AI researches it end to end in 15 to 30 minutes: it reads the report, checks read only production logs and databases, and writes a summary with a proposed Jira comment. He approves the comment before it posts, and he says he barely does bug research by hand anymore.
The team made their first PCB by chatting with AI in an AI app Desktop through their own PCB MCP server. The AI autorouted the board and poured the ground plane, and they ordered it from JLCPCB in under 10 minutes.
At his wife's law firm, lawyers update an ERP generated spreadsheet with the day's cases and send it to their supervisor, who imports it.

A home services business was losing leads nobody followed up. The AI scores each new lead A, B or C against the owner's 4 rules, writes a short summary on the contact, and drafts personal WhatsApp follow-ups that a person checks and sends each morning. The poster says it brings in 5 extra contracts a month at about 9,500 euros each.

This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
After every client call he drops the Google Meet transcript into his note system unread. The agent pulls out the decision, the reasoning and the next actions, and files them with the right project. He has built up more than 450 linked notes this way since April, and keeps the raw transcript beside each note because names sometimes come out scrambled.
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.
