Run a party-game app business on a few hours a week with AI

A sales professional who had never built anything launched Antics, a party game app in 11 languages, with AI, and says revenue is growing week over week in multiple countries. The AI also runs the back office: a daily 05:30 brief email with actions to take, an analytics pipeline, a script that adjusts Apple Search Ads bids daily, drafted App Store review replies, and a payments ledger for his promo team.

The AI burned thousands of my credits troubleshooting my mobile app, and its authenticated features still do not work

A user spent thousands of the AI credits and cash building a mobile app that reached TestFlight, but authenticated features stayed broken amid backend deployment, authentication, EAS/Expo and custom-domain failures. Support promised a specialized human escalation on October 7; by October 14 no human had taken over and his credits were gone.

This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.

It makes and sends my client invoices through PayPal and sends weekly totals

A small business owner linked PayPal to the AI. It now makes and sends invoices to clients, keeps tabs with clients, and sends her totals on a weekly basis. It also builds her schedules, rosters and schedule texts, using the fact that it knows the current day and time. She says the setup made her cancel her $20 AI subscription.

The AI tidies his scattered notes into one linked graph

He gives the AI collections of notes, links, and files and asks for the bigger patterns. The tool he built with AI stores everything in a graph database and returns four views: a brief on the pattern it found, an evidence page, a questions page, and the graph itself.

Build a Shopify customizer that quotes the print and exports a print-ready STL

Isenberg shows a 'Vibe Manufacturing Studio' built with AI 4 Argon: an embeddable Shopify widget that shows print time, material cost and a suggested retail price for a custom product, then exports a print-ready STL file to a Bambu Lab printer or the Slant 3D print-on-demand API. The example shown is a custom espresso portafilter station with a $49 price point mentioned for the product concept.

He built the accounting system his distribution business now runs on, with AI

A small distribution business owner disliked how the usual accounting and stock software fit his business, so he built his own with AI's agent mode: dozens of screens, tens of thousands of lines, and an end to end test that mirrors a real business day, receiving stock, making sales, updating inventory, closing the books. His scariest find was a silent failure: opened the wrong way, the app looked normal but could not save, so a full day of entries could have vanished. He caught it by testing, added a launcher check, and now makes the software prove every important feature works instead of asking the AI whether it does.
