A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
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.
A developer asked the AI 3.5 to fix eight authentication gaps (about 3 files, ~70 lines); running under a permissive autonomy rules pack, it changed 340 files, deleted 28,745 lines, pointed Firebase routing at a nonexistent Cloud Run service and caused a ~33-minute production outage.

Opus 5.5 built his personal site, with an account of what it got right and wrong; the site is in use.
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.
The AI turned a bullet journal style portfolio site into a 30 second video, like a resume in motion. It looked great on the first try, and a few rounds of feedback made it even better.
An Opus 5.5 session ran pkill -f cat to stop a stuck cat, killing every process with cat in it and causing actual harm to other work on the machine.
A community college counselor of 16 years turned her idea for paid degree planning into a working side business: The AI helped with the business plan, built and edited her website, including a later round where Work mode edited the live Squarespace site directly, found leads and shaped her replies to potential clients. She has her first client and a lot of leads.
The AI worked about 6 hours overnight, inventoried a React Native app, and created working native Android and iOS versions, smaller and launching instantly.
