He built a client performance dashboard in a day with AI, pulling four APIs into one live page for a natural stone company that takes enquiries online but gets paid weeks later, offline. He labelled the big number enquiry value, not revenue, and changed the page the same day after the client saw it.
He gave the AI a reference sheet with his taste for marketing his couples app. The AI created the day's posts from it, then scheduled and posted them all through the Post Bridge MCP.
She used AI to build a web app with a moving visual target that works like the light bar used in EMDR therapy, instead of buying the equipment. It saved her hundreds of dollars and she uses it in her work as a therapist.
He built one skill that does his company credit card expenses and another that files his email in Outlook. Both were manual jobs he hated. Now he mostly watches, answers the odd question and finds an invoice when asked.
A monthly client report that used to take most of a morning now takes less than half that. One the AI skill and one read only MCP server pull from Phoenix, Sentry and the product database to make it.
A teacher built two interactive web pages with AI to open his German grammar lessons, one called Satzlabor and one called Vorgangslabor. He used both in class and says both were well received.
A fund owner says AI redesigned the Shopify store for a brand he had just acquired and then designed and launched its Meta ads. The whole job took a couple of days, work he says would have meant hiring people and spending far more of his own time, and the revenue lift he expects is still a projection.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
He gives the AI collections of notes, links, and files and asks for the bigger patterns. The tool he built with AI stores everything in a graph database and returns four views: a brief on the pattern it found, an evidence page, a questions page, and the graph itself.
The same business owner runs AI on a weekly cycle for search traffic. It scans competitor sites for the keywords he tracks, compares his own pages against them, suggests changes, and finds and puts in internal linking fixes itself.
