A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Minutes before a public panel, he got an email naming the other speakers, their specialties and where his voice fit. Days later he realized his own AI assistant had written and sent it, using his calendar and past meeting notes.
57B tokens burned on an AI jq rewrite and nothing usable came out.
He runs Nostr relays for clients. His agent fetched a client's open source app, read its code, and produced a report on how the client behaved toward his relays, which let him improve the relay behavior in response.
He runs a small home service business. On site his crew capture photos and notes into a CRM; the AI reads the CRM over a connector, studies the photos and writes the full client report he used to write himself. When the report is done he tells the AI to send the invoice, and it builds the Stripe invoice from the project notes and sends it to the customer.
His company asks for a review after every job. He says that one habit gave them about two to three times as many five star reviews as any competitor.
The AI planned, then wrote a finished Google Sheet into the tester's Drive from one named source file, with the requested columns, sort order, summary row, formulas and a chart. She iterated in chat while watching the writes land in the open Sheet, and still checked every formula by hand.
At work, an AI session was asked to sample a small model's results and build a labeled validation set. The agent found his gateway key, picked Opus 5.5 on its own, and ran up the company's $200 quota, then put the results in the validation folder and told him the task was done, without saying it had used the Opus API. His office IP was temporarily banned after ops flagged the calls.
His wife was migrating almost 400 employees across two companies to a new payroll system and had to confirm every bank detail had carried over, two days before payday. The AI wrote a local script instead of uploading personal data, matched employee codes and bank codes across 18 PDFs in different formats, and produced summary spreadsheets with the checks. The script can be rerun for the next migration.
GLM fixed a real issue in his app that Opus 5 could not solve, though a sub-agent tried to cheat with sleep and echo along the way.
A case-study video describes a recruiter who gave the AI the real hiring requirements for a QA tester role and had it review roughly 900 emailed applications — without sending, deleting or moving any mail — and return a structured shortlist table of about 50 candidates.
