A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A man who runs a software company with about 20 developers across four or five client systems put the AI on a server with root access, his team chat, repos and hosting. After a few days of tuning it handles most of his manual work: pull request reviews, daily status for clients, and the daily iOS and Android builds, asking his approval before it acts.
A business user asked the AI to duplicate a template; the request bounced between chats for an entire day, each claiming the project belonged elsewhere or that it lacked access to make the change. Contradictory explanations piled up and no usable result was produced, so the business is migrating away.
Merphy made $350 from a digital template pack: The AI drafted the copy, generated the images and wrote the listing.
Company the AI hooked to Fly.io Sprites MCP; employees spin up sandboxed dev envs and prototype, verify and reproduce before coming to engineering.
Told the AI to figure out their GitHub to Forgejo migration and it worked, a much smaller problem than expected.
Nokia built an ecosystem of specialized the AI Enterprise agents that automate troubleshooting. Issue resolution time has been cut by up to 80 percent.
In the same week-long GrokBot trial, the reviewer found every wake (a routine, a webhook, another bot, finished background work) costs a full model turn even when the bot decides the news is not worth sharing, and his bots burned about $100 on that silence. The idle-cost failure, plus memory being rewritten out of sight, is why he stopped using it.
He is a delivery driver who employs a worker. Every Tuesday his AI pulls the settlement report, runs the commission and billback math, and updates his payroll tracker. The job used to eat a chunk of his evening each week. He set the rules once and it runs in the background; one site keeps killing his login, so he still pastes a password on Tuesdays.
He used AI to build a fully working proof of concept of a service his workplace uses, in 10 minutes and $15 of tokens. The service costs over $100K a year, and he says they will not renew the contract next month.
On his morning dog walks, Mete Ünal calls his Dot for about ten minutes and brain-dumps everything on his mind. By the time he is home, the Dot has spun up separate threads for the items, filed an article idea into his notes, tracked landing-page feedback and started on his Japan visa process.
