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.
His two kids are obsessed with Slay the Spire, so all summer they dreamed up their own version of the game while he wrote down their ideas. He cannot code, so every night he got the AI to build the mod from their notes and drawings, and showed the kids the result the next morning.
Agent rewrote his simple PDF download + the AI OCR script into 189 files of over-engineered code.
His multi-agent trading stats setup has a second agent on another machine recompute results from the written method only; today it caught 2 numbers resting on an unwritten assumption, an import crashing above about 150K rows, and an outdated threshold, after the first agent's tests all passed.
A runner replaced uploading Garmin screenshots into AI with a self-hosted agent on a Mac mini that reads his Garmin data (sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, VO2 trend, laps) through MCP plus his Strava uploads: it messages him at 8am, designs the day's run and writes it to Garmin Connect, then grades each session against the prescription when it lands on Strava and decides when training load goes up. He hit his sub-20-minute 5K goal about a month later, and it saves him the hour a week he used to spend planning.
The AI configured his network, fixed an incomplete fast-roaming setup and a DFS channel delay issue.
An agent one-shotted an Unreal Engine plugin from a 3k-line plan.
Creator MR. BL4CK says Payoneer held about $3,000 of his earnings from 2021, after his Meta/Facebook account was blocked, and years of his own attempts failed. Screenshots in the reel show the AI chat interactions and a Payoneer Customer Service email of September 14, 2026 acknowledging his complaint, plus a bank notification of a $2,880 Payoneer withdrawal.
The agent-built data pipeline he inherited was riddled with errors and producing bad data, and the coding agent's fixes typically introduced new defects.
His weekly package delivery came with no delivery notice, and the couriers did not ring the bell. The AI built a small API script that uses the tracking link and signals his Homey, so he gets the alerts he wants.
Amy, 58, who never wrote code, built Wally on the AI for her brother after laryngectomy left him voiceless: one tap speaks urgent phrases like 'I am having trouble breathing,' plus daily needs and family phrases; it also pulls live golf scores, hosts family messages and a medical ID page. He used it daily until his death in August 2026.
His ultrawide and BenQ monitors plus a 7.1 receiver gave Windows a decade of phantom displays, lost windows, G-Sync stutter and audio sent to the wrong place. He explained the problems to the AI, which scanned his connected devices and log files, found problems he did not know about, and built him a utility with display and audio modes on hotkeys that keeps Dolby Atmos on and his mic volume right.
Told the AI to figure out their GitHub to Forgejo migration and it worked, a much smaller problem than expected.
Stuck in Manhattan with three hours after a drop-off, Eric planned aloud with Jarvis while driving: they weighed a museum, galleries and an observation deck against the mood he wanted, and Jarvis produced a Chelsea gallery walking route. At the end of the call he told it to put the plan in his calendar, and it did.
Perk credits Hunter, its Agentforce sales agent, with 60 percent of its sales pipeline, per Salesforce's release.
Rosey updates the kids chore chart on a Skylight frame every morning.
Harvard physicist Matthew Schwartz built BootLoops, an open-source harness that points the AI at exact, checkable calculations, and ran it for three months across roughly 400 candidate problems: the result was 36 manuscripts in 18 fields with 19 coauthors, including 15 Feynman integrals never computed before, Watson's 1939 'final problem' solved, and a forest model showing Panama's Barro Colorado species mix changes 4.5 times faster than neutral theory allows. The AI reproduced results from his own paper in about 20 minutes that had taken him weeks to code.
Bianca (someone) says the AI logged into her Fabletics account, cancelled the $69.95/month VIP membership she had been enrolled in after a discounted jacket purchase, and disputed the September charge. Twenty-one minutes later she had a full $69.95 refund to her original payment method, not store credit.
On his morning dog walks, Mete Ünal calls his Dot for about ten minutes and brain-dumps everything on his mind. By the time he is home, the Dot has spun up separate threads for the items, filed an article idea into his notes, tracked landing-page feedback and started on his Japan visa process.
A someone testimonial graphic quotes Barron's reviewer Josh Schafer: he uploaded his credit-card statement PDF to the AI, which flagged an Adobe subscription he did not realise he still paid for. Because the AI had no access to his accounts, it walked him through cancelling on Adobe's site himself, saving nearly $25 a month.
At the start of a 2 hour 7 minute TGV ride from Paris to Valence, his shop did not exist. Talking with AI, connected through a new MCP link and without opening the WiziShop admin once, the shop was online by the time he arrived.
