A small contracting business owner, replying to a day to day uses thread, says he has the AI updating his QuickBooks from his online receipts. Bookkeeping from scattered receipts is the classic end of week chore for a small contractor; his agent pulls the receipts and keeps the books current.
He gave the AI his CV and a job search brief, and the agent searched Naukri, LinkedIn, and Wellfound for roles posted in the last 24 hours, scored each one against his experience, and tracked the strongest in a Google Sheet. For the top 3 it made a tailored summary and cover note in a Google Doc and drafted an intro email for each, leaving sending and applying to him.
A Korean creator set up the AI to find possible clients on its own. Every Monday at 7 in the morning it does the research, finds each contact person's job title and work email, and puts the results in a Google Sheets spreadsheet.
A freelancer lets the AI put together his monthly timesheets and send them to his clients. Once a client signs a timesheet off, the AI creates the invoice for it. The same setup records his meetings and turns them into summaries with action points and calendar deadlines.
Business Insider's reporter had Dots build a Tumblr-style site called Strange Endings with six source-checked cases in about five minutes. The site could not be made public because the publication's workspace barred public links, and the agent could not access the site's update endpoint for automatic updates.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
A teacher asked the AI to make a presentation from her pacing calendar. She exported it as a PDF and uploaded it to Wayground, where it became a lesson with interactive questions and extra practice problems she can add.
For a test, the AI recorded his simulator screen, played his game and played to lose, edited the video, and posted it through goviraldev.com. He is now asking whether to let the AI run all his game marketing.
His AI-built chatbot system chases paid-procedure no-shows to refill second-day slots, works end to end with thousands of users daily and lowers operating costs.
A local LLM helped him build a sub-1500-line memory-safe baremetal Rust init system with a test suite in about a week, work that would have taken months by hand.
Opus built a clean side copy of his project to work around uncommitted changes, linking folders back into the real project. Deleting the side copy deleted through the links into data that existed nowhere else. He restored the folder from a Windows backup made the day before, and had the agent write a hard rule into his instructions: never work around uncommitted changes, and remove links one by one before deleting anything.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
