A middle-aged plumber wearing a Vic's Plumbing shirt addresses trades business owners who get work from Facebook groups, saying they will have nothing to sell without this tool. He programmed the AI to watch his 14 local-area community groups for service requests; each alert carries the post link so he can go directly to engage, answer questions, and offer his phone number.
A Korean essay analyzes a public user case in which the Aside AI browser migrated 110 Brunch posts into Naver Blog in 2 hours 40 minutes, carrying formatting, images and links intact; the posts drew 260 views the next day. Brunch, Naver Blog and Maily offer no posting API, and the user had previously tried AI with Playwright, which was slow and often gave up; Aside instead inherits the user's already logged-in browser session.
He released version 0.6.0 of his software, and his agent fleet built most of it. A pre-launch check caught a routing bug where one agent was being sent another agent's model id. Now every routing path runs as a canary before a release.
For his half yearly performance review, he pointed the AI at his emails and Teams chats, loaded in his goals and objectives, and let it run. The review it produced made him look brilliant.
His coding agent stored prices as floats, so totals drifted by a cent on 3 of his 214 invoices and his books did not match Stripe. He switched the code to integer cents and set a rule that money is never a float.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
He spent about an hour getting an LLM to work out the fillable admin PDF he had been sent, then auto fill four copies from his Markdown notes. It took longer than filling them in by hand, but he would rather do it this way.
Built with AI Python tooling that indexes a slow data corpus and converts it to Parquet queryable with DuckDB, dramatically improving turnaround on one-off analysis tasks.
Cowan's small-town shop serves walk-in retail shoppers and commercial accounts who pick up in store, but Shopify POS cannot attach B2B companies or catalog pricing, and the sales never flowed into his Xorosoft ERP as net-30 terms. Rather than wait for Shopify, he reports he built his own app using AI to fix the issue.
He runs a Shopify based company alone. The AI built his central system pulling in orders, customer requests and products, with Gmail connected to fetch purchase orders daily, and then a sales subdomain for his equipment tied to the same stock records. Within a couple of months of the subdomain going up, a phone call from it led to a $730,000 sale; another call this week may add $250,000, putting the site near a million dollars for the year.
