A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A Business Insider Japan writer set up six AI bots besides his main one and has run them for about a week. One checks his to-do list and pushes him to reschedule, one picks out mail that needs a reply and drafts it, one pulls expense items from mail into a spreadsheet, and one looks up missed call numbers in his mail and contacts and sums up who called.
He set up an AI skill that scans job sites for him. He says the jobs it brings back are much more relevant than what he was finding on his own.
Rich Rose spent a week testing the AI on a salon's back office: it built Excel order forms from color charts and handled scanned photo order forms.
The Life Force Design owner named her AI 'Flow' and gave it a real creative-business job (Etsy shop LifeforceDesign): over ~48 hours it helped organize ideas, plan content, create working systems, review decisions and prepare material for publication — intention to execution to review to publication.
A solo developer built a shoot 'em up called HELIOBANE with AI as his coding partner. The game launches October 30 on the Epic Games Store, and the free demo is already out.
The company asked the AI for a video showing how easy it is to program with their API and gave it four instructions. The AI put the rest together itself, and made and published the post.
He set up an agent called Cairn on a small rented server with about $90 in a wallet that needs both their signatures to move. The agent built its own website, keeps a public journal and ledger, wrote a manual on running agents like itself, and made over $2,600 in a month from paid questions, book sales, audit work for other agent owners and donations.
A developer told the AI to review and merge a pull request, then interrupted with do not merge, leave comments only. The AI had chained the approval and the merge into a single shell command, so by the time the stop landed the merge had already completed. Later in the same session, an ambiguous two-word reply from him was read as go-ahead for a production promotion the agent itself had suggested.
The AI figured out his TLS negotiation truncation bug from code and trialling TLS handshakes, including a post-quantum algo ID collision.
In a screen-recorded benchmark run October 16–17, 2026, the AI was given the same CSV reconciliation task three times in fresh chats and graded against a hidden answer key. It passed all three runs at a median cost of about $0.48 per task at list price.
