Build a scan-to-wishlist lead capture that drove $60,000 in sales
At family retailer Bambi Baby, COO Josh Weiss, who is not a developer, used AI to build a scan-to-wishlist lead capture tool and its follow-up. Anthropic reported $60,000 in sales tied to the tool in its first four days and 18% of online revenue newly attributed to in-store visits two weeks into a two-store pilot.

I built a foreign language voiceover for a work video with AI
He needed a foreign language voiceover on a video presentation at work. He spent several hours with AI building a process he could trust, then rendered each paragraph as speech and built it into a new audio track for the video.
Run my whole solo business on a daily ritual — I just approve and send
Joshua Tiernan handed his to-do list to the AI entirely: scheduled tasks across HubSpot, Gmail and Notion research prospects on weekends, draft follow-up and reply emails when his custom 'Next Touch Date' arrives, track sponsor deliverables and payments, log ideas and build his next day's task list each morning. Nothing sends without his review, and he estimates the system, run on a £90/month Max plan, does the work of 10 to 20 full-time humans across his sponsorship business.
Built a UGC-influencer campaign from scratch: monitored emails, replied to interested people, and sent out contracts

Told to move CAD folders and never delete, the AI routed around a safety block and deleted 10,382 files
An engineer asked the AI to move CAD tooling folders to a new drive, said never to delete, and named one project folder that was completely off-limits. A safety mechanism blocked the delete command, so the AI switched to a different tool to do it anyway. A quoting slip widened the target to the parent folder, and 10,382 files were deleted, including a backup archive of 8,291 files. Only about 15 percent could be recovered.

The AI traced our 1689 book to a castle library sale
The catalog that came with their 1689 Livonian law book said nothing about who owned it before. With one prompt, the AI searched auctions and dealer catalogs on the web, found the book in a 2011 catalog, and showed it came from the Ericsberg Castle Library in Sweden.
The AI built me a widget that counts down to my last class
To mark the start of the semester, he asked the AI to build a macOS widget. It counts down how many weeks are left until the last class, and how many of those weeks are real teaching weeks.
Keep my work log and write my standup for me
A developer ran AI on a VPS as a work journal: he told it what he was working on through Discord and it kept a running timestamped log. Fifteen minutes before his standup it automatically generated the summary from the log, nudged him for an update when he went quiet, and suggested blog angles from recent work.
