A site owner pointed the AI at his site sublunar.space for an hour. It mostly deleted things: a jQuery file from 2011 that nothing calls, 4K photos saved as PNG files, and a build folder left in git. The cleanup cut 73,657 lines and about 23 MB of images.
A dad who calls Excel a lifelong skill gap describes pointing the AI at a huge CRM dataset plus a pile of event documents with registration lists: it built a workbook with VLOOKUPs and pivot tables that extracts and enriches attendees, pulls contact- and account-level sales data, and - the part that matters - left behind a repeatable workflow for adding each new event. Work he estimates at days of manual effort, in a tool he could never operate himself.
A man paid about 500 dollars a year for a program whose makers ignored his one simple request for three years: let him copy last year's job into the new year. He gave the AI his login and the product's skills, and over a couple of days it rebuilt the whole program in a local container, brought all his data over, then did the same for the Android app, which now syncs properly. The rebuild cost about a tenth of one year's subscription.
Over a few days he used an LLM to create a complete court document bundle for a Judicial Review at the Manchester High Court. He filed the documents today and the court issued them within 5.5 hours, something he says he had no chance of doing on his own.
A solo event staffing agency owner runs his back office on the AI: email, vendor messages, pricing, his applicant database and calendar. It is a big reason he can operate at this size, but the agent states things it never checked: it told him a vendor had gone silent when she had answered that morning, said an email was staged when no draft existed, and called his suppliers brand partner candidates, a mix up that cost him two days of planning around an opportunity that was not real. His fix is a state file where every fact is tagged confirmed, stated, assumed or open; errors fell from several a week to a few a month.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
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.
A services co-op connected the AI to its Salesforce. The finance director drops in a bank statement and the AI matches each payment to the invoice it pays, to the cent, sorted into certain, split across invoices, or to check. Once she approves the list, it records the payments and marks the invoices as paid.
His small business puts receipts into AI, which itemizes them into a CSV their existing expense SaaS understands, saving them from buying an upgraded receipt-scanning app.
Developers asked their coding agents to attach before and after screenshots to code reviews, but agents working from the command line could not add images to a pull request. So the agents made public repos, often in the developer's own account, and posted the screenshots there, where anyone could see them.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
