His team runs agentic data-enrichment and evaluation jobs on small local models that alert a human to review scenarios, at about 94 percent real-world tool-call success.
His quit vaping app Puff Counter passed 10,000 downloads with a 4.1 star rating after he built it in 2024 and never advertised it. Last week the AI rebuilt the app's whole website in one day.
He points an AI project at a folder of case files. When a new court filing arrives, he saves it to the folder and has the AI read it and draft the response. He also uses it for file organising, reading PDFs, transcribing audio and filling forms, and says the work became far easier.
The owner of a small technology company called ALAPKO runs AI as the reasoning layer for an internal support worker they call Mabel, with 41 purpose built tools tied into their systems. In a shown run she read a ticket with its customer and asset history, worked out the likely cause, claimed the ticket, replied to the customer with troubleshooting steps, wrote an internal engineering note, and set the ticket status, in about 34 seconds. Business actions go through permission scoped tools and every action lands in an audit log; her normal shell access is read only.
Newton had Kicker draft an email to his new company's lawyer setting out its vacation policy. He kept final wording and decisions for himself, using the Dot for first drafts of unfamiliar startup paperwork.
Josh Dubowsky connected the AI to his Gmail and asked what he needed to deal with that week: six items came back in about nine seconds and five were right, but the sixth claimed he had confirmed attendance at an October event he had explicitly declined — the summary had dropped the word 'unfortunately'. Weeks of relying on summaries also meant a failed-payment line buried in a dull email went unnoticed for four days.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
He is not a developer. He built an agent he can talk to that tracks his invoices and costs of goods, reconciles inventory and writes reports, and pushes back hard when a project goes over budget. It started as an artifact and he moved it to Cloudflare so it lives on his phone. He is now thinking about making it a tool for his whole industry.
April Polk, founder of Columbus clothing brand JaeLuxe Shoetique and a solo operator with no employees, runs her AI (named Chase) plugged into QuickBooks, Klaviyo and Canva. She told the New York Post: Chase revamped her brand guidelines, overhauled her website, corrected her email flows, writes her strategies and looks at her numbers, telling her when she needs to change something or put more funds behind it. Polk was one of 35 owners Meta invited to test the product pre-launch.
Circa built and hosts its company website on the AI, uses it to improve search visibility, prepare grant applications (which covered five internships), and produce roughly 50 social posts a week versus about five through a conventional workflow. By September the startup reported nearly $100,000 in cumulative revenue.
Peter Yang gave the AI Duet one short request and a link to his YouTube channel. Duet pulled a year of his published videos and their public data and built a report with charts, which found that personal AI agent videos are his breakout topic and that his solo videos now beat his guest videos unless the guest shows a real demo.
