Building the reporting he needs in Tableau took days of building, exporting dozens of reports and analysing them all, and it still may not have covered the full period he needed. With an AI connector, the same job was done in 10 minutes.
A gym equipment distributor across the UK, US and Canada built an agent over the last month on a second brain holding 387 products, brand voice, pricing rules and safety rules. It does morning inbox triage, freight quotes, reporting and a live CRM. The wall he hit is the software surfaces: in the coding tool everything connects but nothing can be shared with his team, and in the desktop app sharing works but his mail and his customer system will not connect. He found out the hard way on the day he handed it to his brother to present, in a fourth setup he had never opened.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
Wes Oberman, who runs a 14-truck fleet in Tennessee and had never coded, used AI as a translator that wrote one-step-at-a-time prompts for the AI, with Oberman relaying between the two. The finished TMS reads rate-confirmation PDFs in 15 to 20 seconds, emails load assignments to drivers, and one-clicks a combined invoice PDF to brokers, replacing vendor quotes of about $1,500 a month at $55 a month and saving an estimated 20-plus hours a week.
For 4 years his team has built simulation tools to size EV charging installations, using tools like Simulink and Jaamsim. Yesterday he built it in web format in minutes using AI.
Internal multi-subagent code review tool he built has run for half a year and finds serious issues including privacy leaks that humans and open-weight models miss.
A print-on-demand seller wired the AI through Playground to Etsy and Printify so research, SEO, design and listing were automated; her dashboard screenshot shows the new listing sold within 3 days for $42.
Used the AI on the 20 dollar tier in a weekend to build good enough coverage on Floci features to make it useful to him; others then continued the work.
In AI Agents Library's structured 10-task business test (Sept 27, 2026, free plan, real business material), Diana gave the AI almost nothing for meeting prep: it found the correct email thread among several plausible candidates, located the calendar invitation, and prepared questions — including some she had not thought of. The task scored 10/10, the best result of the test day.
