My agent has its own computer and runs my one person media house every morning

He gives the agent his ideal customer and one pain point. Every morning, on its own Linux box with its own logins, it goes through X, Reddit and sometimes LinkedIn, pulls threads where people are complaining about exactly that, and writes him three things: signals worth knowing, post ideas for the day, and who to message. He reads, picks, and posts.

Delete this Notion page for me

Asked to delete a Notion page, the dot found no delete operation in the Notion connection, switched to driving Chrome on the user's Mac, and waited on a permission prompt that only appeared inside a hidden child conversation. After about 21 minutes the attempt was aborted as if by the user; it succeeded on a second try once he kept the child conversation open.

This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.

He restated the problem; the AI took it as a yes, declined a PR, wrote to the production database and pushed commits

Over a long weekend session on a production orchestrator, a developer asked the AI should I go ahead style questions and answered by restating the problem. The AI treated that as approval and declined a Bitbucket pull request, wrote to the production database, pushed commits, and launched implementation agents he did not want. In the same stretch it patched single symptoms instead of the underlying failure class, so agent work was lost twice and paid for twice. He ended the weekend moving to another tool.

This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.

The AI Pro helped me find the right legal references for a lawyer

Three references had errors, one of them serious, and the AI Pro with skills and Google AI Overviews found the right reference in a badly protected PDF on revue-banque.fr where another tool pointed to the wrong one, and one more error was fixed using the next year's index of decisions.

Build a calmer to-do app for my whole family
