Check all 124 scheduled jobs in my church's database and tell me what broke

Jay Kranda, the Innovative Tech Pastor at Saddleback Church, has the AI check the church's Rock RMS people-management database every Monday and Thursday at 5am. It reviews all 124 scheduled jobs in the system and reports back in plain English which ones are erroring, so problems surface before Sunday instead of during it.

The AI runs my wife's shop back office and replaced a $600 a month ads manager

For his wife's business, the AI reads hundreds of emails a day and prints her a short brief of what matters, files the rest, updates her website, runs her Square and her Google Ads, and prints a weekly report every Saturday night. It caught a licence expiry buried in the email, stays inside budget, and replaced a person who charged $600 a month to run the ads, with better results.

Audit 187 email flows in three minutes and tell me delete, fix or ignore

Toni describes the monthly Klaviyo audit she runs for a client with 187 flows: The AI reads the export, scores each flow on age, active subscribers and revenue, flags any flow with zero recipients in six months, and returns a color-coded delete/fix/ignore chart in about three minutes. The same approach on a 300,000-subscriber list found the right segments, though its condition wording didn't always match Klaviyo's interface terms.

Run our whole website through AI with checks

Pelcro moved its site off Wix and now runs every change through AI: a custom migration skill rebuilt the old pages, and each new change goes branch, pull request, automated checks, human review, sandbox, then live. Nothing ships unless lint, type, build and content checks all pass.

An agent without proper guardrails refunded $8,000 of his orders

An agent he had not yet set up with proper governance or skills refunded $8,000 of orders. It did ask 'You sure?' before acting, but he blanked on the confirmation and approved it. He puts the fault on his own setup more than on the agent.
