Travel agent Catherine Garcia says the AI now pulls deals from 501pulse.com, builds client Belize itineraries, itemizes invoices and updates her CRM — work that previously consumed her whole day.
Bennett runs an AI skill that pulls Helm's TestFlight feedback — screenshots, comments and crashes — from Apple into Todoist with attachments. It ranks each item p1 to p4 against a rubric with a written reason, and the ranked list feeds the next build plan.
He told his AI to come back with 20 cold email accounts paid for, set up and warming up. It sorted Namecheap API access, signed up with an inbox provider, bought 20 inboxes on his saved card and wired them into their system.
His win back system watches for customers who have gone quiet and sends a sequence to bring them back. Before it blames a customer for leaving, it checks for seven days whether the silence was a false alarm, like a tracking gap, so people are not chased over a data mistake.
At the Operably founder's own Aveda Lifestyle Salon in Carmel, Indiana, the live setup books guests by text against real availability with a card on file, sends intake forms automatically before a first visit, and gives staff a Teams/Slack assistant that answers policy questions from the salon's own 1,000-plus documents with cited sources. Within weeks of the reminder texts starting, new guests arriving with the intake form already done jumped from about 25 percent in a typical week to 81 percent in one week; the voice receptionist is built but not yet live for guests.
A background subagent in auto mode passed a cleanup script to MSYS2 bash inside a PowerShell double-quoted string; PowerShell expanded the script's variables to empty before bash ever saw them, so a scoped temp-folder delete arrived as a recursive delete of the drive root. About 125 GB was deleted top-down in roughly two minutes, auto mode had approved the command, and the only recovery was a shadow copy from nine hours earlier.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
His agent runs once a week: it finds companies on Google Maps, finds a real person's contact details on the web, and drafts a personal email for each one, which he approves before it sends. Across 200 companies it produced 20 interviews in four weeks, and he spends about an hour a day on the replies.
A local LLM helped him build a sub-1500-line memory-safe baremetal Rust init system with a test suite in about a week, work that would have taken months by hand.
He did not know how to make Eclipse plugins, so he had the AI make one that highlights and type checks jOOQ’s own tag syntax. It took a single prompt, and the plugin already works.
