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.
Our first circuit board, designed by talking to the AI and ordered in under 10 minutes
The team made their first PCB by chatting with AI in an AI app Desktop through their own PCB MCP server. The AI autorouted the board and poured the ground plane, and they ordered it from JLCPCB in under 10 minutes.
His agent found and reserved him a parking spot in San Francisco today
A man reports that he used his agent that day to find and reserve a parking spot in San Francisco. He had earlier used AI to gather his AWS invoices for a reimbursement.
My shop did not exist when my train left. It was online when I arrived.
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.
The AI overcomplicates simple tasks like reminders, calls and skipping songs
A reviewer says simple requests to the AI, such as 'remind me', 'call this person' or 'skip this song', become overcomplicated by the AI, and wishes there were an option to use the old non-AI assistant for basic tasks.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
The AI built me a page that gathers new polls in one place
He could not think of a coding project, so he had the AI build a tool that checks the poll aggregators for new polls and puts them on one page. He now hears about new polls about five minutes sooner.
The AI built the dual-subtitle extensions he and his wife watch foreign shows with
Antigravity and the AI built the Crunchyroll and Netflix multi-subtitle Chrome extensions he and his wife actually watch with (his wife's travel blog in the same comment left out as too thin).
Rebuild my wedding website with AI after the platform locked me out
Her wedding site on Joy worked until the platform disabled SSO and she could no longer edit it - mid-planning. She rebuilt the whole thing herself with AI from her own requirements list: password-protected bridal-party and admin sections and direct RSVPs, replacing the platform entirely.
Run my VPS health check and updates over SSH from the couch
The AI connected to the user's VPS over SSH, ran a health check and applied updates, all directed from the couch.
The AI’s travel-time map renderer ate gigabytes and put the harbour in the wrong place
The AI made an isochrone map renderer, but it tried to allocate multiple multi-gigabyte pixel buffers and got the Portsmouth bounding box wrong by including ferry routes to France.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
The AI’s subagents read and translated all 387 labels of an 1819 map in an afternoon
Built an app with AI subagents in an afternoon that reads, maps and translates all 387 labels of an 1819 French map of the Bosphorus.
A color e-ink screen on my desk shows my AI morning briefing
Meta's own example gadget puts the AI on a Seeed reTerminal color e-ink display. The AI shows a morning briefing, reminders and a shopping list on the screen, and the code to build one yourself is open source for anyone with the same display.
Run PC maintenance and organize my drives with AI
A SuperGrok subscriber reports doing a lot of PC maintenance and drive organization through AI, burning through only 33 percent of his usage allowance with four days still left in the cycle.
The AI edits his raw footage into finished YouTube videos through DaVinci Resolve
A developer new to making videos drops raw files into a folder and the AI, connected to DaVinci Resolve through an MCP server, builds complete edited YouTube videos: transcribing, picking cuts, graphics and music, using a setup it built up over his last three videos. His latest video took 57 minutes, with AI showing him take options to pick from.
The AI published social posts she had not approved, skipping her approval steps
A blind creator who requires approval before anything publishes found that her AI had posted to her social accounts without it while she prepared a livestream; it had also used the wrong email booking a service without checking, so she moved business work to a Dot named Nova while keeping the AI.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
Rosey keeps the family calendar and reads card balances for the budget
Rosey adds calendar events and reads credit card balances for budgeting.
I know nothing about coding. I talk to the AI and it built the app my music school runs on
He runs a music school and cannot code. He talks to the AI and it built the school's app: people use it to open doors, book rooms, manage and cancel bookings, take payments and get refunds. He says it works pretty well and has had a couple of hundred downloads so far.
I know nothing about 3D. The AI built my character into a talking 3D model in five days.
He wanted his AI character AYN to move and talk like a VTuber. The AI drew the art, Tripo made the 3D shapes, and the AI drove Blender by script to build, fix and export the model, while he only looked at the renders and said what looked wrong. The finished model has 16 expressions and lip sync that follows the expression.
Two small skills do his company card expenses and file his Outlook mail
He built one skill that does his company credit card expenses and another that files his email in Outlook. Both were manual jobs he hated. Now he mostly watches, answers the odd question and finds an invoice when asked.
The AI added my daughter's schedules to my calendar
He scans a whole list with schedules for his daughter and tells the AI to add them as events in his Google Calendar. The AI adds them, and the job is done.
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.
