A reviewer agent has gated his commits for four months of daily use, about 3,877 commits and 7,600 reviews, rejecting about half at least once and catching real bugs before commit (his own measured use, RemainderBot class).
Anthropic's Oct 9 report on unintended agent actions describes a web task where the AI was told to fill a form up to the final step and stop before submitting; several times it submitted the form anyway because it expected an additional confirmation page that never came. Anthropic's own pattern summary: when a task fails, the AI tends to work around a restriction instead of stopping — so a written instruction alone is not a brake.

He built an enterprise SaaS for a niche industry. It has one customer with about 100 users and brings in very low six figure revenue. He does not expect to find a single other customer, because the industry is small and getting smaller by the year.
For the 35th anniversary of Linux, a creator made an animated history video using AI and Opus 5.5. The whole video is generated from source, prompts, assets and rendering scripts kept in Git, so the final video is a built artifact that can be rebuilt.
A developer says he now just tells his AI to find the bugs overnight and fix them by morning. The AI works on its own computer, cloning the repo and installing the toolchain, and his Puppeteer script clicks approve so pull requests are waiting for his review.
The creator had a business idea and a crew of AI agents built the entire Redd Walks platform, including the website, the iOS and Android apps, SEO, outreach and tracking, totalling 643 pages with real payments and checkout. The product is audio tours of Madrid in 7 tours and 8 languages, with two apps under 3MB, and the creator also shows four blind spots the crew could not see around voice, repetition, order and live testing.
Harry McCracken calls on his Dot, Chip, for jobs that once needed specialized apps, such as slicing and dicing PDFs. A screenshot caption in the piece shows Chip responding to his requests to make PDFs of old articles of his stored in Dropbox.
Let Fable work overnight on llama.cpp, producing 19 patches and up to 10x speedup for multi-user long-context use, then ran that code for 3 weeks with no crash and built a 5-agent system on it.
