The AI Pro helped me find the right legal references for a lawyer

A legal librarian at a law firm had to check ten references for a Belgian lawyer working on warranty of liabilities cases. Three references had errors, one of them serious, and the AI Pro with skills and Google AI Overviews found the right reference in a badly protected PDF on revue-banque.fr where another tool pointed to the wrong one, and one more error was fixed using the next year's index of decisions.

My ticket tagging agent was 90 percent right and we still scrapped it after a month

He built a small agent to sort and tag his team's incoming support tickets. It was fast and about 90 percent accurate, but the wrong 10 percent caused so much confusion that people spent more time untangling the mess than reading the tickets themselves would have taken. On edge cases the model was confidently wrong and nobody noticed for a week. They scrapped it after a month and went back to tagging by hand.

This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.

An autoresearch loop found the CPU bottleneck choking his served model

Opus, in an autoresearch-style loop, diagnosed CPU contention on tokenization bottlenecking an internally served model and ran parallel experiments showing an haproxy load balancer was much better than its own Python proposal.

This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.

Build my client's production clothing store, synced to their ERP

A solo developer built a women's clothing brand's production WooCommerce store with AI writing most of the code: a custom block theme matched to the client's React prototype, real-time CommerceML sync with their 1C ERP (including patching a stock parser that silently dropped nested per-warehouse counts and cleaning up roughly 1,000 orphaned variations), and zero dollars in platform licenses. Two client revision rounds of about thirty items each cleared in days, and the whole build took weeks instead of months.
