A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
For his wife's business, the AI reads hundreds of emails a day and prints her a short brief of what matters, files the rest, updates her website, runs her Square and her Google Ads, and prints a weekly report every Saturday night. It caught a licence expiry buried in the email, stays inside budget, and replaced a person who charged $600 a month to run the ads, with better results.
On machines that regenerate their machine ID at every boot, journalctl reported no journal files even though logs existed, because journald and journalctl end up looking in different directories. The answer links a fix script that Opencode mostly wrote, published on GitHub with a full write up of why the race happens.
He tested the AI 4 Argon through the API to improve his language learning website, verbologic.com. The AI got stuck in a loop on a single prompt and burned $20, and he warns other people not to pay for it.
He had the AI gather his SPARQL training materials and present them on a website in a way that is easier to engage with. The site is live on the SIB Swiss GitHub pages.
An interiors company runs 13 the AI on 46 routines. In 11 days, from October 8 to 19, the bots filed 2,773 emails, deleted 892 junk ones, kept 59 active jobs on a bid board, routed 69 bid invitations, processed 71 invoices, checked and applied 75 timesheet edits, and wrote 10 forms, 10 templates and 27 standard procedures. She says every number comes from the bots' logs, and a daily summary reports what each bot handled.
He set GPT-6 to read tens of thousands of his emails, his writings and his calendar appointments from his recent career. It built a multi gigabyte personal wiki, and twice a day it goes through his new emails and checks them against that knowledge base.
Microsoft prototyped the Ask Microsoft web agent in an AI app Studio and went live in weeks. It moved beyond information retrieval into product evaluation and signups, then expanded across ten more product sites at two per week; customers using it visit more pages per session.
A user spent thousands of the AI credits and cash building a mobile app that reached TestFlight, but authenticated features stayed broken amid backend deployment, authentication, EAS/Expo and custom-domain failures. Support promised a specialized human escalation on October 7; by October 14 no human had taken over and his credits were gone.
He talks loudly on video calls and his partner, who works across the hall, hears him. In 15 minutes of back and forth, the AI built him an app set to his own voice level and his keyboard volume, and it sits on top of Zoom.
Wired up a replacement for needed functionality with AI over a couple of weeks, avoiding tens of thousands of dollars in recurring yearly costs.
