Agent uses to try
Travel & Bookings · Dots
Rebook a missed connection before landing
A flight agent found a new route and handled a free rebooking while the traveler was still in the air. The new booking was secured without an overnight stop in Seattle. The same approach was used again mid-Atlantic when the Seattle-Munich trip was delayed too.
Try this prompt
I’m on [airline] flight [flight number], and the delay may make me miss my connection at [connecting airport]. Contact [airline(s)] by chat, look for the best no-cost rebooking to [final destination], and show me the options, new itinerary, and any fees. Stop and wait for my approval before you confirm any booking change, then send me the final details after it’s done.
Coding & DevOps · n8n
Auto-review GitHub pull requests with n8n
They used an n8n workflow to inspect new GitHub pull requests, generate a review with an LLM, and post feedback back to the PR. In a test pull request that added iota cryptocurrency support, the agent left one overall comment and added the label. The review was useful as a first pass, but it tended to be wordy and could overlook the main issues.
Try this prompt
Set up an n8n workflow for my GitHub repo [owner/repo] that starts when a new pull request is opened. Fetch the changed files and diffs, compare them with these team rules: [paste guidelines], and ask an AI model to review the code for bugs, readability, and missing tests. Draft a single PR comment and suggest a label like [label name]. Before anything is posted, stop and show me the exact comment and label for approval. If I approve, then post the comment and apply the label to the pull request.
Science, Security & Hardware · Devin
Scan code for business-logic and auth bypass flaws
A developer used Devin to split a codebase into parts, trace exploit paths across files, confirm issues in a sandbox, and open fix pull requests. On Cognition’s 50-vulnerability benchmark, Devin Security reached 72% recall at $90.23 per run. Claude Security scored 68% at $131.87, but this was a vendor benchmark rather than an independent one.
Try this prompt
Review [repo name] for business-logic errors and auth bypasses. Split the code into sections, inspect them in parallel, and look for attack chains that cross files or services. For each possible issue, try to reproduce it in an isolated sandbox and stop before any real-side effect. Before doing anything irreversible, pause and ask me to approve it. Return confirmed findings in priority order, then open a draft pull request with a separate fix for each one. Do not merge changes or use production systems.
