Level up how you use AI

Real things everyday people got it to do, and how to try them yourself.

A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.

A non-technical product manager shipped a restaurant recommendation app, and the AI wrote every line of it

He is a software product manager who cannot code. His app GoodFinds turns restaurant recommendations from people you trust, chefs, publications, influencers and friends, into a live map, and it is out on the App Store. The AI wrote all the code. He also had it build the data pipeline behind the app, which pulls venues out of influencer posts and chef interviews and matches them against Google Places, and a monitor that watches food subreddits and pings him on Telegram when a thread is worth replying to.

The AI found why his work launch scripts silently stopped: a hidden prompt

His frontend launch scripts were failing with nothing in the logs. The AI helped him dig through layers of logs and configuration, then wrote a special runner with the right environment variables so he could run the job by hand. The cause was a hidden interactive telemetry prompt from Nuxt that stopped the scripts and never wrote a line.

The AI ran Blender and built my dental design tools

A dental worker had the AI run Blender on his own computer and write Python add-ons for his design work. It built a tool that turns a shell into a based model, one for basic aligners, an automated baseplate designer, and a custom impression tray designer. A fifth add-on, for copying dentures, did not come out as well.

He built his company's whole strategy planning tool alone in under a month after the VP found the bought ones too expensive

His VP of engineering reviewed two or three strategy tools on the market and they were prohibitively expensive, so he asked if it could be built instead. He built it alone in less than a month: long term objectives broken down into annual objectives, improvement priorities, projects, milestones and tasks, with bowler charts tracking the KPIs, full project management tools, and containerized staging, development and production environments. It cost roughly $1,000 to $2,000 in an AI app credits. The VP then put his own name all over it, and made him replace his own name in the about section with the name of the organization.

My AI checks my Amazon ads every morning and queues the fixes

The WisePPC team sells on Amazon under its own brands. Every morning an AI reads the account health check and the change history in WisePPC and sends a short Telegram message: which campaigns hit their budget early, which advertised product went out of stock, and which bids changed the night before. It then queues proposed bid cuts and pauses, with its reasons, for a person to approve or decline. Nothing goes to Amazon without that approval.

Coordinated wedding logistics: emailed a photographer about Perona Farms timing, cleared sales

Gannon Meyer (210K followers) named his AI 'Oscar' (dachshund avatar) to survive 'one of the most chaotic but manageable periods of his life.' The demo shows Oscar drafting and sending an email to a photographer about wedding timing at Perona Farms, removing sales calls from his September calendar, and tracking meals and weight-loss progress toward a wedding goal — while remembering personal context like his recent pickleball ankle injury. Oscar proposes actions but executes only after a

Negotiate my car purchase down $4,200 by email

Engineer AJ Stuyvenberg let his AI handle his 2026 Hyundai Palisade purchase by email, and it played dealers against each other over several days. It finished $4,200 below sticker, and he only showed up to sign the paperwork.
