Team Data Platform Agent, evolved over 2 years, is widely used for SQL questions, on-call alert triage, lag monitoring, and scheduled workflows fixing bad data.
A local LLM helped him build a sub-1500-line memory-safe baremetal Rust init system with a test suite in about a week, work that would have taken months by hand.
He was working through a 1.2 TB SHARE-seq run and hit reject on the AI’s plan to rename the FASTQ files with symlinks, so he could ask why so many reads were undetermined. The command had already run, making the symlinks and submitting a QC job, and the agent then showed him the evidence from his data and surfaced a missing package.
Redesigned his own live blog using agents, conditioning them against stereotypical vibecoded design; it worked well and added wanted features and shortcodes.
He uses AI to check his email hourly, mostly overnight, handling customer mail and marketer pitches while it does not act during the day. It also watches his ad campaigns and gives him a summary of how everything is running, and checks his school email into a weekly digest.
Luke Davies runs Davies Construction with a team of the AI set up like a company org chart, with bots for estimating, admin, books, sales and project work. Day to day the bots sort the inbox and draft replies, pull tasks out of meeting notes into a list a person approves, and create and update the job tasks in ClickUp as work moves on the Wunderbuild board.
Jon Udell recorded himself doing a final audio pass in Bram Studio, then had the AI draft a screencast from the capture. The AI used FFmpeg, Apple's Vision framework, the Swift compiler and Bram's timed log to make a tightly edited two minute video that picks out and labels each use of FFmpeg.
The creator of Babylonian Twins had the AI port his 2010 game engine and the original 72,758 lines of 1993 assembly into Godot. The Definitive Edition is live on iOS and Android, the 1993 original is free on itch.io, and a fix found from a one star review shipped as version 2.0.3.
His free French teaching site Ralentir travaux, used by millions of visitors, had been more or less abandoned because its old code ran to thousands of pages. Over about six months the AI and the AI cleaned, fixed and modernised the code and added new tools, and the rebuilt site relaunched for its 20th anniversary.
She scans new papers as a science journalist. Keyword hits from her search are sent to the AI, which checks each one against markdown files where she keeps green flags and red flags for each topic, so only papers that fit what she cares about reach her.
