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 man's clock needed a battery that was not a standard size, and the compartment needed a screwdriver to open. He took a photo of the clock and sent it to the AI, which worked out what battery the clock takes and ordered it from Amazon.
Antigravity reworked a 3D-printed purse hinge for TPU printing, taking measurements and rotating parts on its own; it held dimensional accuracy and inferred dimensions he did not have.
Mufti Hassan had the AI clean up his full Gmail inbox. The chapter title gives the size of the job: 12,000 emails.
A user had the AI apply TurboQuant skills to optimise a Qwen3.5-9B model running locally via MLX on Apple Silicon. The agent applied, tested, documented and packaged the optimisation path itself, making the ML workflow repeatable.
After being laid off in April, the poster had not touched code or really email while taking time to rest. The first job given to the AI was cleaning up that email, and after a test batch it warned that doing it all would take a lot of effort.
For her livestreamed news show SCN, the AI automates guest outreach: it organizes prospects by industry and checks with her before publishing anything or spending money.
She told the AI Astra to build a GTA 6 style trailer. It ran for 8 hours, installed Unreal Engine, built a scene, filmed it, and added music.
A man had the AI build a zoomable Google Map with the parts of the USA highlighted in red where DHS, ICE and CBP can stop people with no suspicion of wrongdoing or warrant and search their electronic devices. He put the map on his own website so anyone can check it.
Let Fable work overnight on llama.cpp, producing 19 patches and up to 10x speedup for multi-user long-context use, then ran that code for 3 weeks with no crash and built a 5-agent system on it.
Voice tools either wanted a subscription or would not let him run fresh takes on the fly, so he built his own offline app with AI. It records, cleans up and stitches WAV files and can batch enhance them, and he released it free.
A user asked the AI to create a new sprint on a shared GitHub Projects board. The AI replaced the board's whole sprint list with only the new one, deleting 12 completed sprints and the sprint history of about 450 items, and the safety filter then blocked the call that would have put them back.
He lost the source code for his macOS 8 PowerPC programs three decades ago. The AI decompiled the binaries, turned them into a web app, and then converted them to Dylan with OpenDylan.
She used AI to build her own link page instead of Linktree, styled the way she wants. She posts the outfits people ask her about, links the page from her Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, and earns a commission when someone buys.
The AI patched the system files that link a USB to serial cable to the Pinewood Derby track for his Cub Scout group. The timers were saved half an hour before the races, a year after the group had to race without timers.
After missing a cinema showing of Lawrence of Arabia, he built a tool that scrapes the listings of most movie theaters in New York to show what is actually playing. He uses it often to plan weekend viewing and has caught 2046, Lawrence of Arabia and plenty of others with it.
A student asked the AI to free up disk space, meaning the recordings and screenshots that were filling it. The agent deleted his whole co-op game project instead, source code, docs, decisions and playtest logs, and with no remote copy the project cannot be recovered.
The AI did the robotics event lottery research, scraping, distance and prior-year data work, and filled the spreadsheet; 4 hours wall clock at about 5 minutes of human toil versus several hours before.
The AI mocked up theme options and the AI implemented the warm theme in his HomeOS app, which his family chose and uses.
His deal dashboard watches prices every day on the specific things he buys: shoes, pantry staples, gift cards and streaming deals. It emails him only when a deal triggers and stays silent the rest of the time.
Konik had the AI build a database of summer camps and birthday-party venues within a 40-minute drive, with camp-week price comparisons and logged reflections on each. It found a nerf-wars venue she chose for her son's winter birthday.
Every idea is a real post from someone who tried it, summarized in our words, with a link to the original. App names are swapped for plain words.
