A session generated a Word document with a script. The user then edited the document in Word for about 40 minutes and saved. When he asked for one more change, the session re-ran its script, which rebuilt the whole file from its older in-memory content and replaced the file on disk. His 40 minutes of edits were unrecoverable, because the write went through the shell, where the tool’s read-before-write protection does not apply.

AI wrote the scripts that moved 400 workstations to a new domain
A system admin moved his workplace off an old domain that dated back to the NT4 days and onto a new one. Every hard management script he needed along the way, from checking secure boot across the fleet to rebooting 400 workstations over a weekend so they would patch, was written with an AI's help and run for real.
Build my event-attendee workbook with a repeatable the AI pipeline
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.
My AI bought and set up 20 cold email accounts in 30 minutes
He told his AI to come back with 20 cold email accounts paid for, set up and warming up. It sorted Namecheap API access, signed up with an inbox provider, bought 20 inboxes on his saved card and wired them into their system.

The AI checked 5 years of our JIRA bugs in under 30 minutes
Going through five years of his team's JIRA bugs looking for patterns would have taken him about two weeks. The AI did the analysis and collation in under 30 minutes.
A solo lawyer had the AI work through 15,000 pages of case documents for his motion
A solo litigator had about 15,000 pages of discovery to dig through for a summary judgment motion. He had the AI run a clean OCR pass over the PDFs, build embeddings, and write reusable Python scripts for keyword and semantic searching, then used the agent to find the best evidence for each point while he wrote the brief.
Prepare me for my call — from the right email thread, unprompted
In AI Agents Library's structured 10-task business test (Sept 27, 2026, free plan, real business material), Diana gave the AI almost nothing for meeting prep: it found the correct email thread among several plausible candidates, located the calendar invitation, and prepared questions — including some she had not thought of. The task scored 10/10, the best result of the test day.
