The owner of a 13-location sauna chain built Lucy, an OpenClaw assistant running on his own Mac mini, connected to WhatsApp, Instagram, Slack, Gmail, the Reenio booking system and Trello. She answers questions, checks availability, applies compensation rules and escalates complaints. He swapped an expensive model for MiniMax-M2.5 via OpenRouter.
Brad Smith, who logged into GoHighLevel every day to check leads, contacts, calendar and open rates, trained a Grok Bot to manage the account. The bot organizes the pipeline, handles contacts, flags scheduled calls, messages leads and sends reports twice a day. He published the template for others to copy.
Ascendea, a UK CRM and automation company for small businesses, uses Manus as a "chief of staff" (nicknamed James). With it, the company turned scattered process knowledge into a library of standard operating procedures that later served both to train new hires and as instructions for its internal agents.
k-ID, which helps companies comply with child-safety rules in 285 markets, uses Manus Wide Research to watch more than 500 regulator websites. The task is split across hundreds of parallel subagents, each one checking a source, analyzing changes and reporting back.
A user handed Comet's agent the job of networking on LinkedIn: search for HR professionals and real estate agents in Singapore, open each profile, check for 500+ connections and a post in the last two months, and only then send the invite, while keeping a list of who it had already reviewed.
A father of twins asked Grok Bot to book his kids' dentist appointments. The bot booked the first one on the website; no slot showed up for his sister, so instead of stopping, the bot wrote and sent an email to the clinic asking for an appointment.
PongFox, a robot maker, handled customers through several people's WhatsApp accounts and nobody knew the status of each case. The team connected an OpenClaw agent (SupportMate) to Chatwoot and Discord: each ticket becomes a Discord thread, and the agent suggests fixes from past cases, points to support videos, estimates hours and parts for billing and drafts the final reply.
Reason Network is a free, open-source, peer-to-peer engine that lets different agents, such as Grok Bot, Claude Code and Codex, talk to each other. The idea is for the whole team to put their agents on the same network so their work doesn't collide when they're coding at the same time.
Christian Schaller of Red Hat gave Claude Code control of a Windows VM running the vendor driver and captured the USB traffic from the Linux host. By comparing captures from the official driver with those from the driver in progress, the agent built a SANE backend for an unsupported film scanner and later fixed the MIPI camera on his laptop.
Linus Torvalds steered Claude Code at a long-standing kernel bottleneck where many threads reading the same file fight over the folio reference count. The agent wrote the implementation, the test programs, the review and the first draft of the cover letter, and Torvalds ran the benchmarks on his own machine.
Eric Porres, a Logitech executive and father of four, spent two weeks with an OpenAI Dot (a persistent ChatGPT agent) that he named Jarvis. By voice and text, he handed over entire trips, old to-dos and follow-ups, with the rule that nothing is bought, booked or sent on his behalf without a yes.
Ray Zhu downloaded a Chinese TikTok video, which landed in iCloud Photos synced to the Mac mini running OpenClaw and a local transcription model. He sent a message asking for English subtitles that don't overlap the Chinese ones, and the finished video went back to iCloud so he could post it from his phone.
Up to 16 coding agents spent 3 months rebuilding a first-person shooter, coordinated through GitHub issues and a Discord channel, with a script that only accepts functions that are byte-for-byte identical to the original.
Cockroach Labs organized its agents into hospital roles (triage, Fellow, reviewer, discharge) running on GitHub Actions: no code ships without a reviewed plan, and every merge goes through a final audit.
Banco BV uses Gemini Enterprise to create personalized scripts for its relationship managers, who reach out to clients with tailored financing and investment offers. Google cited the case in its Gemini agent announcement.
Quinn Nelson of Snazzy Labs had a handheld console stolen from his porch. He filed the police report himself, then used ChatGPT Dots, OpenAI's personal assistant, to file a claim under his Chase credit card's purchase protection. The claim was approved for the full amount.
Brian Roemmele installed Bill, a Grok Bot template shared by another user (DJ), which audits the bill and usage, looks for cheaper plans, forgotten credits and fees that can be waived, and talks to the carrier's chat and reps. The phone negotiation ran past 45 minutes, and the rep confirmed everything in writing.
ColonistOne, an agent running on Claude, was tasked with promoting a project by email and started writing to researchers with real technical questions from its own work. Some academics have kept the conversation going for months.
To show off the Manus 2.0 video editor, the Manus team loaded 125 clips from a three-day trip, almost two hours in total, straight from an external drive. The agent transcribed and analyzed every clip, built a story that follows the trip's itinerary and handed back a timeline where everything stays editable.
AJ Stuyvenberg, an engineer at Datadog, got a $50/month fiber offer from Comcast and asked ChatGPT's agent to negotiate with Verizon over live chat. The agent pulled promotions from Verizon's own website and the competitor's offer as leverage, was transferred to a supervisor (another AI agent) and closed a retention discount.
Jeremy Judkins asked Grok Bot to audit the US federal income tax return he had prepared in TurboTax. The bot pointed out errors, and his before-and-after screenshots show the tax owed going down. Weeks later, the bot even flagged on its own an error it had missed and walked him through fixing the forms by hand.
Silvia, from the Automate with Silvia channel, built a Grok Bot that takes the link to a new YouTube video and writes that issue of the DoNow newsletter as a draft in Beehiiv, in the tone of past issues. Nothing goes out on its own: she reviews it and hits send.
Ripple Treasury (Ripple's treasury management platform) used Devin playbooks to build a triage system called Guardians 2.0: four agents modeled on engineering roles investigate every customer-reported bug and deliver a technical analysis, steps to reproduce and a development plan. A fifth agent reproduces and fixes the bug in a real Windows environment.
The GDELT Project gave Gemini Deep Research nothing but the PDF of its daily trends report on a foreign TV channel (Iran, Russia, Congo) and asked for a sourced backgrounder for American journalists and scholars unfamiliar with the country. It then expanded to cross-reference the day's 65 reports into tailored analyses by topic.
Francis, an angel investor in the New York area, spent an hour a day pulling together context for founder meetings scattered across Gmail, LinkedIn and X. He connected Comet to Gmail and Google Calendar and asked for a briefing on every meeting of the day. For LinkedIn and X, the browser opened tabs and searched the conversations on its own.
