Agent ran cold spray simulations and chose next runs

The AI built and runs my landing page review business. No paying customers yet.

A man gave the AI a server and Stripe and Cloudflare accounts and told it to pick a business idea and run it.

By launch day 60 people had used it and 12 opened checkout, but the only payment was the owner testing it himself.

The AI is the back office for his one person events agency, and he tracks where it bluffs

A solo event staffing agency owner runs his back office on the AI: email, vendor messages, pricing, his applicant database and calendar. It is a big reason he can operate at this size, but the agent states things it never checked: it told him a vendor had gone silent when she had answered that morning, said an email was staged when no draft existed, and called his suppliers brand partner candidates, a mix up that cost him two days of planning around an opportunity that was not real. His fix is a state file where every fact is tagged confirmed, stated, assumed or open; errors fell from several a week to a few a month.
