The figures

90% — 90% of developers still rely on manual prompt writing, while top performers use Skill Package to automate 80% of repetitive tasks, saving hours weekly. →
90% — 90% of beginners fixate on tools (e.g., Pi’s 4 default tools: read/write/edit/bash) instead of defining clear task boundaries. →
5 minutes — WorkBuddy + BrowserAct combination delivers competitor price lists in 5 minutes and product opportunity reports in 7 minutes. →
40 seconds — By using an AI agent to automate responses, negotiation, and price adjustment, the average response time can be reduced to within 40 seconds. →
$10,000 — Sam Shore handed roughly two-thirds of Typeshare’s equity to two people with established audiences, Dickie and Cole, and monthly revenue moved from $10,000 to $15,000 inside 30 days. →
70% — Codex’s office automation capabilities, which are severely underestimated, can be transformed into powerful document processing agents, as shown by real-world developers, one of whom automated PDF data extraction to PPT report generation, cutting document processing time by 70%. →
2 hours — One developer processed 200 PDFs in 2 hours, a faster improvement in efficiency compared to the manual process, which would typically take 10 hours. →
$63,000 — Jordan’s Resellbot started as 30 lines of JavaScript written because his partner was manually reposting listings every day, and it now runs at roughly $63,000 a month, which probably says more about picking a visible problem than about any distribution tactic. →
