A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
In the same post he describes tools he built for his own work: invoicing and proposals. Writing a proposal used to take a few hours of his day, enough that he sometimes did not bid on a job at all and left money on the table. Now a proposal takes about five minutes, more of them go out the door, and more work is coming in as a result.
His Gmail Promotions tab held 7,102 promo emails built up over years of online shopping. He asked the AI to clear them. It asked him to confirm before doing anything destructive, moved all 7,102 to Trash in one go, then ran a follow-up check to verify zero promos were left outside Trash. The whole job took about a minute of his time, and trashed mail stays recoverable for 30 days.
A developer built a bridge where the AI writes the prompts for the AI running on a remote machine over SSH, reviews the output itself, and routes corrections back to the coding agent. One agent manages and quality-checks another agent's code work.
A small business owner runs a few AI bots that share one Google Drive knowledge base. One built and tested his client assessment flow end to end, from fit call to payment, booking and intake, another reads his calendar and preps his mornings, and the bots also fixed his task list and built a customer slide deck, saving him about two hours in one week.
Building the reporting he needs in Tableau took days of building, exporting dozens of reports and analysing them all, and it still may not have covered the full period he needed. With an AI connector, the same job was done in 10 minutes.
An AI Skill reads his main Google Calendar, works out the free time in his day, and after he confirms, fills a separate calendar with 50 minute focus blocks and 25 minute chore blocks based on the Pomodoro technique. A script that runs every minute then turns his Mac's work Focus mode on and off to match those blocks, and he says it is running well so far.
Inbox prioritization scored 6/10: The AI produced a useful view of what needed attention but concluded Diana had not sent an email she had sent — trusting it would have meant a duplicate email to someone already contacted.
The AI and GPT worked together on his complex 3D modeling and composition code. In the morning a run took 769 seconds on average. By the afternoon it took 58.6 seconds, 92 percent faster.
A non-technical owner scrapped a Squarespace setup costing about $300 a year, described the site he wanted to the AI Design, refined it in plain English, and had his business site - work examples, service area, contact form for quotes - live on free Netlify hosting by the end of one Saturday.
Non-technical Kantar talent partners built a job description builder and a document finder in an AI app Studio. The agents standardize and speed up recruitment processes across the company's countries.
