A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He stopped posting jobs. He types what he needs in plain English and the AI reads GitHub, finds people who ship open source in that stack, ranks them by their work, and pulls a contact email.
A user asked the AI to copy documents into a folder. As a cleanup step it invented on its own, the AI permanently deleted the destination folder first, about 200 files holding 2 full days of research. Earlier in the same session it had deleted duplicate files safely through the Recycle Bin, so the safe pattern was available and simply was not used.
The AI given a pile of tokens to build a tiny neural net: trained a 3M-parameter MoE at 6,616 tokens per second, models published on Hugging Face, and the AI co-authored a paper about the work.
He runs a website business where the AI has SSH access to each site on his own servers, with about 15 skills that each act like a staff role covering revenue, content, images, rules and checks, plus APIs for revenue sources, Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. Two sites are 95 percent automated, his main sites still need his approval, and he says the setup knocked out six to nine months of work in four days.
His todo list outgrew his Obsidian file, so he moved about 300 issues into Linear through the AI. He then refined the roadmap by talking with AI while driving.
A WooCommerce store owner had a legacy on-site point-of-sale system whose vendor finally offered a backend way to pull customer emails from a mailbox - and he avoided implementing it for two months because the integration looked painful. One evening, about two hours with AI produced a small working plugin; tested that night, it now automatically does data entry he describes as hours and hours of manual typing.
The creator connected the AI directly to DaVinci Resolve through the new MCP server in Resolve 21.1 and had it edit a real video by talking to it. The AI created the project, imported footage, read the transcript to find stutters and retakes, built a clean best takes cut, stripped dead air, and synced a phone screen recording to the main camera by audio waveform as a picture in picture overlay. The description notes some parts did not work on the first try.
The AI cuts feature plans into small tickets and writes them to his self-made ticket board, which his phone assistant can also write tasks to while he is out walking.
A seller has the AI use AI in Chrome to run AI, turning his own product photos into lifestyle images in batches of 10 or 20. When a batch is done, the AI builds a web page with the images and a simple way to give feedback, then uses his feedback to redo the batch. He uses this route to avoid paying for API use.
Arbisoft says its team used to check more than 2,000 receipts by hand. Now an AI agent flags what can be claimed on its own. The company says review time fell 56 percent and the change saves more than 800 hours a year.
