Casey Newton's Dot, Kicker, handled a radio-show invitation that conflicted with his schedule, turning it down while he worked on other things. Newton estimated Kicker did about two hours of work in an afternoon for roughly 15 minutes of his effort.
A Japanese Threads creator split his account's operation into six AI agents with one deliverable each (researcher, writer, poster, fetcher, analyst, supervisor) and reports 1,181+ posts and over 10 million cumulative impressions. The writer agent may only cite numbers stored in a single 'truth file' so it cannot inflate results, the poster must confirm the published URL rather than the button click, and the fetcher records 'not retrieved' instead of zero when a fetch fails.
A developer gave the AI a token for his code repo and set a two hour cycle. The AI checks the issues page, makes a branch for each issue, writes the fix or change, and opens a pull request. Merges rebuild the app and serve it on his home network, and the AI texts him on Telegram when it has a question or when work is done. He uses the app daily and files features as issues, which are handled within a couple of hours.
He runs a five level system where the AI Design makes his Instagram carousels, from a basic prompt up to a full design system with AI generated images and a looping video cover. The first carousel made this way reached 4,500 views with 89 saves.
A self-described desperate vibe coder commented in an Reddit showcase thread that the SaaS he built with AI, which auto-generates landing pages and tracks who will pay, made $16k in 3 days with 876 paying users. It spread via Reddit and Twitter and got noticed in a hackathon Discord.
Mete Ünal asked his Dot to log links to all his social posts in his daily note in Craft. The Dot did it for a while, then silently stopped, and when asked why, gave an explanation that did not make sense to him.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
He sends audio messages to his AI. It transcribes them locally on the graphics card in his home server, so his voice notes become text without leaving the house.
