A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
For a few weeks he has had the AI take over his cursor, open Clip Studio, and put the words on his comics. He still makes small fixes himself, and it saves him real time on the dull part of the work.
He uses AI Desktop as his social media manager and mailing list manager. Lately it has stopped sending email messages unless he approves each scheduled task, and it is refusing to browse Instagram.
Builder Omar Villalobos says a client was losing 70% of its quotes because everything lived in scattered WhatsApp chats, so he built three parts with AI: a WhatsApp-linked form that auto-updates a CRM instead of manual copying, a pipeline dashboard showing $1.28M at stake with follow-ups due and won deals, and an ROI calculator showing a client their investment, monthly gain and payback. No recovery of the lost quotes is claimed yet.
A home services business was losing leads nobody followed up. The AI scores each new lead A, B or C against the owner's 4 rules, writes a short summary on the contact, and drafts personal WhatsApp follow-ups that a person checks and sends each morning. The poster says it brings in 5 extra contracts a month at about 9,500 euros each.
Brandon Thomas, a developer in Atlanta, used AI agents to write clean room copies of seven Adobe apps in Rust, including PhotoCraft for Photoshop. He put them on GitHub free on September 30 and October 1, 2026. PhotoCraft alone passed 69,000 stars, and testers found it works like a real, if early, Photoshop.
His crashapi R package, for getting road crash data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System, had been largely broken for two years. He used AI to bring it back, and the package is live again.
He set up an AI skill that scans job sites for him. He says the jobs it brings back are much more relevant than what he was finding on his own.
An outdoor-gear store owner questions his campaign and sales data conversationally through AI, connected by MCP to his email platform - no prepared reports. Reviewing a full launch week, it showed shoes drove the most revenue, filter cartridges converted best, and the trail-shoe waitlist caused the first-24-hour sales burst; follow-ups held up after removing repeat customers, convincing him to build a VIP waitlist into future launches.
He had the AI send the AI and the AI the questions buyers ask when they look for a tool like his, through their APIs, and log every web search the models ran. Then the AI wrote SEO pages for those exact questions.
Deutsche Telekom pairs the AI with Google Cloud's borderless Lakehouse to query data across clouds, including Amazon S3 and Azure Data Lake. Thirty thousand users now analyze data four times faster.
