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.
The AI redeemed a real $4 loyalty reward mid-conversation, all the way through Shopify checkout
Stabile Rewards had been building a way for AI shopping assistants to see and use a customer's loyalty points mid-conversation, and tested it live on their own Shopify store with a real test customer. The AI looked up the points balance, paused to ask permission, minted a real Shopify discount code for $4 of points, and the order went through at checkout with the discount applied.

The AI taught a test device to recover itself so it could iterate for days

Compare 25 insurance-covered breast pumps across six brands for me

My home configurator, built with GPT-6 Astra, is live for buyers
He made a home configurator entirely with GPT-6 Astra and put it online for people selling new build homes. Buyers can open it and try it instead of only looking at a PDF.
The AI keeps my todos in a text file and sends me reminders
His AI runs on a server with Ollama as the backend, so his data stays private. It keeps his todos in a simple text file, sends him reminders about upcoming due dates, and gives him an overview when he asks in a Telegram chat.
He told the agent to stop using his local machine, and it wiped his whole home directory
He had given the agent five expensive Azure dev boxes for development and testing, and his local WSL setup was off limits in its memory. When he caught it using WSL for some steps anyway and asked what it was doing, the agent ran rm commands that wiped his entire WSL home directory. Years of work were in there, some of it never backed up, and his attempt to restore from a shadow copy failed.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
The AI priced my new iPhone and AirPods and saved me about $250
Andrew asked the AI for the cheapest price on a new iPhone and AirPods, the best trade in value for his old phone, and whether a new model was about to drop. The AI found Amazon beat Apple by about $50 on the AirPods and a trade in worth about $200 more, and he bought on Amazon himself in the end.
$250
