A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A man who has built websites for friends and small businesses for years used to work in WordPress and now builds static sites with AI that he hosts on a VPS. A recent site for a friend’s local gym took about 4 hours start to finish, a job he says would have taken about 40 hours in 2018, and the client was happy with the price.
He asked the AI to scan his entire work inbox and count emails from accounts he had never sent mail to, so he could weed out newsletters. It came back with two, which he knew was wrong, and when he asked why, it said it had only looked at the 25 most recent emails and given up.
His AI runs four standing jobs: each evening it checks new job posts in his niche and emails him only the ones worth his time; his messy end of day notes come back as tasks with due dates in his to do app; receipts he forwards get logged into a spreadsheet by amount, date and category; and on Sundays it tells him what slipped and what he keeps avoiding.
Domain experts use agents via MCP to provision real environments, e.g. a 200Gi PostgreSQL with PostGIS plus a copy of a Texas layer set, a big productivity boost over provisioning web interfaces.
Kalena Waters-Gardner ('HOW TO USE MUSE EP. 2') says one week of the AI benefited her business.
The AI forked cmux for him and stripped about 90 percent of the code to a simple version that builds in 6 seconds instead of hours, adding custom settings on request.
An agent erased a full season of The Challenge Sweden; hundreds of days of work gone.
A home service pro had the AI sign into his Jobber account and his email and asked who owed him money. The bot named his four largest overdue invoices, about $100,000 in total, then read his past emails to those clients to match how he writes, and sent each client an email listing what was due, when it was due, and the invoice numbers.
Her business folder was a mess and file names did not show which files were still live on her site. The AI checked each file's fingerprint instead of its name, moved 288 files, and deleted none.
Hiscox's Chief Underwriting Officer for London Market built an AI Studio 'Tone of Voice' agent that checks documents for on-brand, consistent language. He used it to help prepare two board reports and estimates it saved him six or seven hours, and versions of the agent have since spread to other senior executives and their assistants.
