Create social media visuals with Canva MCP
The poster tried Canva MCP in Claude Code to produce app marketing visuals and found it a disaster.
How it went The reported result was simply that the Canva MCP attempt was "a disaster," with no metrics or concrete failure mode described. The thread mainly turned into advice on other workflows rather than a postmortem of what happened.
Generate websites, a course and a 318-page ebook
A newsletter author used Manus over three days to produce websites, interactive courses and a 318-page ebook from simple prompts.
How it went She got a deployed interactive course site and a 318-page formatted ebook, though design and branding needed polish and prompts needed review. A third test, an infographic, came out illegible even after retries.
Create and publish YouTube videos from script to upload
An n8n pipeline writes a script, adds a voiceover and stock footage, assembles the video, uploads it to YouTube and updates a Google Sheet.
How it went The author reports about $0.30 of voiceover and a 3-5 minute render for a 10-minute video. No view or revenue results are given, and the long-term daily render load is untested.

Plan article topics and draft web articles
A web writer uses Cowork for keyword selection, building a topic table that checks overlap with past articles, and drafting articles that learn from corrections.
How it went The writer now produces 40 to 50 pieces a month, commissioned articles and notes combined, and no longer copy-pastes between chat and files. Drafts still need manual fact-checking and rewriting of the experiential parts.

Alex C. had Hermes Agent write lyrics, produce music stems, generate visuals and add audio effects to make a music video on its own.
