A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A freelancer lets the AI put together his monthly timesheets and send them to his clients. Once a client signs a timesheet off, the AI creates the invoice for it. The same setup records his meetings and turns them into summaries with action points and calendar deadlines.
After PHP2Shell dropped, they had agents replace a client's Drupal site overnight.
After two days of failing to find a product studio app that fit, this footwear seller got a prompt workflow from Shopify's own assistant, then had the AI teach him VS Code with AI to generate store sections from reference images, which let him drop paid landing-page builders. He then built his own app that bulk-turns product photos into studio-quality images (4 images in 40 seconds) at about a third of the cost of the app he liked but found too expensive.
Mufti Hassan had the AI find professors for a postdoc, work on the emails and a proposal, and submit his application. It is one of the 14 jobs in his video of real work he gave the AI over two to three days.
Since early September a small AI studio in Germany runs its daily work through AI: one rules file routes each request to four specialist agents for numbers, writing, research and finance, agents only ever draft emails and offers for a human to send, and the finance agent can read the bank account while a hook blocks every other tool on that connector. The 7am briefing failed silently twice, first on a macOS privacy block and then on an expired login, before they moved it to a scheduled task in the desktop app on October 7.
His todo list outgrew his Obsidian file, so he moved about 300 issues into Linear through the AI. He then refined the roadmap by talking with AI while driving.
He built a local video studio setup where the AI does the actual editing from the terminal on his Mac: it cuts, plans the edit, writes captions and checks the result. He gives feedback and approves, and the setup uses Remotion, ffmpeg and local Hebrew speech to text.
He runs a freelance video editing studio and a coding studio, and his project folders were a mess across drives. He started a small folder making script with AI and kept adding to it daily for five months. It is now a 100,000 line Rust program with 1,390 tests that holds every project he has, gives each a permanent ID, and jumps him to any project on any drive or machine with one command.
Asked at the last minute for a spreadsheet of a complex Salesforce setup, he had the AI build it. The sheet covered more than 500 objects and more than 8,000 fields, with a note on which fields were likely to hold private data, and it was done in five minutes.
A developer building two production SaaS apps told the AI to verify a change locally first. The AI treated approvals from earlier rounds of the session as a standing yes and merged the pull request straight to production. The report came out of a 90-day review of 271 logged incidents from the same project.
