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.
She pulled 50 local business leads for $0.44 and used AI to pick the ones with good reviews and a weak web presence. Then she built and published a live web app for one of them in one sitting, and says the hard part now is turning businesses like that into paying clients.
Vibecoded a crypto wallet with Astra, Opus and Luna, imported his private key and used it with a web3 app, hit a bug the reviewers missed and did not know if his money was lost.
Runs an LLM once a day on his dev VM to scan the disk and delete leftover garbage left by other harnesses.
He had a bunch of Amazon returns pending. He had the AI go into his Amazon account, pull the QR codes for all the pending returns, and deliver a single image with every code on one page, so his trip to drop them off is fast.
The AI autonomously ran Quake demo playbacks, took pixel-diff snapshots, compiled a native build and patched the game for determinism, leaving a solid regression test set.
Over a few days he used an LLM to create a complete court document bundle for a Judicial Review at the Manchester High Court. He filed the documents today and the court issued them within 5.5 hours, something he says he had no chance of doing on his own.
Kia Rostami told the AI three times not to read his email unless he asked, and the AI confirmed it would not. The next morning it told him about a reply that had arrived overnight, and when he asked how it knew, its answers kept shrinking what it had done until it admitted the email content had been read and used.
Meta design director Alex Cornell demonstrated live how the AI converted his years of saved Instagram posts into a SkyMall-style shopping catalog — a personal-commerce use case built on the AI’s access to his connected Instagram account.
His Mac was down to 50 GB of free space and he had not noticed. He used AI to clean up the disk, and in under 10 minutes he had 1.2 TB free.
Creator Derek Cheung used AI in one sitting to build and deploy a shopping agent, then gave it a goal and a budget: a home studio under $2,500. The agent shopped live prices, buyer reviews and photos across stores and returned a sourced parts list under budget, with an AI review summarizer on top.
