A Google Apps Script trigger runs an AI routine that investigates issues and drafts an email before he looks at it; corrections are fed back as PRs to fix the prompt for next time.
At the same accounting firm, staff batch upload client bills and the agent reads each one, decides whether it belongs in payables, receivables, or the cash book, and posts it into AutoCount after a person reviews and amends the lines. The firm has run the setup in production for three months.
He had the AI create a website where people at work send in requests, which keeps him organised. Then he made it read the requests and carry out the fixes as they come in.
He had an idea for an NMR experiment he had been sitting on for years. The AI did the literature review, found reference data, ran spin and spectrum simulations, checked if the idea could work, and compared it with other methods, all while he ate dinner and watched TV.
A LaTeX user's copied table code did not fit his page size at all. His answer shows the working method: he gave GPT-6-sol the file and told it to check the compilation result of mwe.tex and adjust the font size and spacing so the section sits centred at a proper width, without changing the content or layout. The answer posts the adjusted code that came back.
Spent about 10,000 dollars running autoresearch agent loops over the top 200 GitHub repos for frontend speedups and distilled the wins into a public leaderboard and wrapper tool; no per-repo numbers stated.

This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
Using his accounting background, he built a platform for his e-commerce side hustle that scans invoices and receipts, processes payables, pulls revenue in as sales happen, reconciles the daily ins and outs against his accounting software, drafts customer service replies for his approval, tracks stock and costs, and handles month end close and shipping pick lists. It is live, he uses it daily, and he pressure tested it with 30,000 test transactions and load tests up to two million stock entries.
The AI and iDRAC saved him from a midnight trip to a site. GPT could not find the right credentials, but the AI found them in his notes, with some guessing.
Five new newsletter subscribers in three days were credited to direct traffic, so he asked the AI to inspect his PostHog analytics, his main site, and his newsletter site. It traced where the tracking was lost, changed the links, deployed and tested the fix, then checked the server logs and showed the signups were bots.
