AI Examples: Real Plans Built With an AI Assistant
Worked examples of an AI assistant and a Holly's Homestead tool working together, one for each of the eight tools that accept an AI handoff. Each one shows the plain-English request, the exact prompt, what the AI did, the real result loaded into the real tool, and what you should still check yourself. Every example uses a different part of Australia, so wherever you live there is one close to home, and each includes notes on how the answer changes in other climate zones.
If you haven't used an AI with the site before, start with the AI Guide for how the handoff works. Every example uses an invented household, but the numbers on screen come from the actual tools.
