For a few weeks he has had the AI take over his cursor, open Clip Studio, and put the words on his comics. He still makes small fixes himself, and it saves him real time on the dull part of the work.
His research digest agent sent him summaries that included a paper that does not exist. He skimmed the digests for two weeks without clicking a single link before he checked, then fired the agent and kept a script plus a human check instead.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
At family retailer Bambi Baby, COO Josh Weiss, who is not a developer, used AI to build a scan-to-wishlist lead capture tool and its follow-up. Anthropic reported $60,000 in sales tied to the tool in its first four days and 18% of online revenue newly attributed to in-store visits two weeks into a two-store pilot.
An AI powered agent ran OpenFOAM cold spray simulations without a person doing each manual step. It read deposit results, spotted failed runs from solver logs, and decided the next simulation, with an animation made for each run.
Caption+image creation scored 7.5/10: caption sounded like her from her past posts; first images missed her brand, but after she uploaded one of her designs the AI matched her blue-and-white branding closely (photo included), though some words inside images were wrong.

He runs a music school and cannot code. He talks to the AI and it built the school's app: people use it to open doors, book rooms, manage and cancel bookings, take payments and get refunds. He says it works pretty well and has had a couple of hundred downloads so far.
The AI modernized a 22-year-old legacy system, updating dependencies, auditing security and adding features, raising test coverage from about 65 percent to about 80 percent.
