Tomoya Fujita runs Convika's growth loop with agents: 64 questions to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Mode, guides for the gaps, and indexing within hours. Measuring 1,498 LLM answers cost $4.19, and daily Google clicks went from 1 to 20.

Masahiko Ebisuda ran five language-learning YouTube channels from an automated pipeline for 19 months and 4,807 videos, then gave Claude Code full control of the improvement loop. Local metrics rose, its pivot cut monthly views to roughly one-eighth, and June 2026 revenue was $1.38.
