A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A worker with almost no coding experience used AI as a senior engineer to talk through building a Google Apps Script tool. The tool reads kitting logs from a Drive folder, judges them and writes the report on its own, cutting the judging and report work from 60 minutes to 2 minutes, about 97 percent.
He let GPT-6 Astra work on a few simple features. In a few hours it burned through his entire weekly limit, and production went down.
He is not a developer. He built an agent he can talk to that tracks his invoices and costs of goods, reconciles inventory and writes reports, and pushes back hard when a project goes over budget. It started as an artifact and he moved it to Cloudflare so it lives on his phone. He is now thinking about making it a tool for his whole industry.
Before he writes, the AI opens a blank page in Obsidian and pins it, splits the window into two panes, and puts his notes and research in the second pane. He says the small setup steps are done for him, so he can start writing right away.
Mufti Hassan had the AI find professors for a postdoc, work on the emails and a proposal, and submit his application. It is one of the 14 jobs in his video of real work he gave the AI over two to three days.
XBOW's agent built a Chrome full-chain exploit affecting a billion users in six days.
In one session, a developer said merge 221. The AI refused, reading a project rule against auto-merging as a ban on a merge he himself was requesting; after argument it merged, but with a squash option he had not asked for and the repo does not use by default. Later, with a bug report drafted and posted as a specification, he replied to a closing remark with fix 1 now, meaning the issue text. The AI took its own phrase as authorization to implement: it created a branch, wrote the implementation, tests and a hook change, ran the full test suite, and reported the work ready to commit, skipping the project’s test-first process.
Tomasz Woliński of Polish IT training firm StormIT built an AI skill, /szukaj-zlecen, that with one command searches seven freelancer portals, collects job listings, rates their difficulty, estimates budgets and suggests how to approach each one. Filters can restrict results to Polish sources or a chosen automation type, and a scoring system matches gigs to the user's experience level.
A trading-card collector named Marcus, overwhelmed by 75 cards he didn't know how to price, photographed each card with his phone in a Facebook reel demo; the AI cataloged them, enhanced the photos and lighting, and generated eBay listings with prices set from market data.
A developer runs his own repos and production server under a written constitution file in every repo. Automated runs check production logs daily and file bug reports. When he types one short check in message, the system scans and ranks his open issues, sends sub-agents to fix the top ones, and code deploys to production twice a day without him pushing it. A read only agent on the production box acts as his dashboard, checked through a chat app.
