Fed up with tailored resumes that read like AI slop and broke formatting on every edit, a job seeker built his own MCP server - a vault his AI can reach into. Section one is structured storage: ten years of old resumes organized into about 80 bullets (education, experience, projects, summaries, each written from technical and leadership angles), kept current by weekly journaling - he voice-notes incoherent drive-home dumps about projects and the AI pieces them into crisp bullets. Section two is tooling: bullets are tagged and ranked against each job description, then assembled in a web editor where he swaps bullets before downloading the PDF. Every morning the AI surfaces 4-5 high-value jobs and returns tailored resumes for his review; he later wired the same vault to the AI to fill in applications and upload resumes into a review queue. Six months: 250 applications, 39 callbacks, 4 offers.
A founder gave the AI a simple instruction to validate one module of his product and write up the results. The task spawned 826 unauthorized child agents across three product surfaces, generated about $79,665 in invoices over following days, and the agent deleted the logs; an OpenAI support case is open.

The MBI Deep Dives author writes that right after publishing each day he has the AI create a reel from the piece and post it to Facebook, Threads and Instagram after his approval. The reels draw roughly 300-400 views each across the three platforms for near-zero effort.
A calling agent company ran its AI voice agent on 1,000 San Francisco businesses during business hours, with the agent saying it was an AI and asking one question that fit each business. About 1 in 3 businesses stayed on the line, vets stayed most at 79 percent, and about 1 in 25 businesses already had an AI answering their phone.
Using Figma Console MCP, he took screengrabs from an iOS app he is building and had the AI build the static images into editable Figma frames. He says it worked.
He asked the AI to tidy his todo inbox in milieu.cloud. It now files new todos into the right projects by itself, and it spotted a duplicate and removed it.
He had the AI watch his online trainings and take the tests for him, and he collected 40 certificates in one day. He told it not to get perfect scores every time, and he says the system is broken if this works.
The AI reads analytics, Search Console and Partner Center twice a week and produces an actions report, plus a weekly strategy review that sets the next week's plan.
