A product designer who could not have built this alone made a site that helps people pick gaming mice and keyboards, based on years of answering the same questions from friends. He built it in an AI app and keeps improving it from reader feedback. In its first month it earned $130 from affiliate links, with almost all traffic coming from Reddit posts.
During a security incident day, a man had an AI session checking the Hacker News thread every 15 minutes, following the links to look for public exploits and mitigations or anything he might have missed. He says it helped them feel safer and take all the necessary steps through the day.
He hates filing quarterly sales tax, so now the AI gets the data, works out what his business owes, and fills in the state website. He checks it and pushes the final button himself.
A person's OpenAI dot could not push its work to GitHub. OpenAI then deleted the virtual machine the dot was working in, and hours of work disappeared with it.
He runs a B2B cold outreach agency at $58,500 a month in recurring revenue. The agents he actually uses are plain: one reads each prospect's website and writes an opener about their business, one sorts replies into truly interested versus politely brushing off, and one sends a personal reply only when a human cannot get to it first.
He had an idea for an NMR experiment he had been sitting on for years. The AI did the literature review, found reference data, ran spin and spectrum simulations, checked if the idea could work, and compared it with other methods, all while he ate dinner and watched TV.
A Purdue professor built Docable, a working tool that turns PowerPoint, Word and PDF files into accessible versions for new disability rules. The AI and the AI helped him create a codebase of about half a million lines in a few months, and his talk explains the checking method he uses so agents can validate their own work.
After two days of failing to find a product studio app that fit, this footwear seller got a prompt workflow from Shopify's own assistant, then had the AI teach him VS Code with AI to generate store sections from reference images, which let him drop paid landing-page builders. He then built his own app that bulk-turns product photos into studio-quality images (4 images in 40 seconds) at about a third of the cost of the app he liked but found too expensive.
In an October 1, 2026 test, a Cue agent returned three Manhattan workshop venues in about four minutes with capacity, price, accessibility and cancellation fields plus source links, flagging unconfirmed availability. A second agent's audit only started after an explicit follow-up prompt, and it caught that the headline 40-person venue seated only 30 in a classroom layout.
LLM maintains the taxonomy and index for his automatically collected browsing archive in an Obsidian vault, used for his writing.
