Used the AI to solve dozens of annoyances around the house and life and to develop two work apps, one a complete polished interactive web app he says he could not have completed alone.
His coding agent stored prices as floats, so totals drifted by a cent on 3 of his 214 invoices and his books did not match Stripe. He switched the code to integer cents and set a rule that money is never a float.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
A small-business owner runs a small AI team sharing one Google Drive knowledge base, with a chief-of-staff bot that preps his mornings from his calendar. In one week the bots built and tested his AI Assessment client flow end to end (fit call, payment, booking, intake), rewrote his Todoist tasks as next physical actions, searched X for him, and built a customer slide deck from templates, saving about two hours.
Jacob runs four AI products alone. He built Tracetify, a tool that rebuilds how a competitor got its first users from twelve public data sources, in about three days, and gave the AI one instruction for the whole interface: you decide. Users later asked whether he had hired a designer.
Opus 5.5 decompiled 3 competitor audio products in about 3 hours from one prompt, built an emulator to verify, converted them to a C++ library, all tested and sounding right.
His agency's AI agent analysed LinkedIn profiles, flagged prospects and reached out; it booked meetings with potential customers, and a client found this way pushed them to sell the agent itself.
His agent writes every sales call into the call log and the CRM, and before anyone on the team gets a number to call, it checks the log first. That stopped the team calling the same people twice.
An IT provider managing multiple Microsoft 365 client tenants asks the AI to take a new-user request straight from email, create the user in the right tenant, and email the client back with the details - work his technicians previously did by hand across many tenants.
