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 does his boring paperwork in his own logged in browser: reserve duty refunds, national insurance, flight check-ins
Outside code, his biggest win is boring paperwork. The AI filed his reserve duty refunds, sorted out his national insurance payments and did his flight check-ins, working in his own logged in Chrome. Each job is about ten minutes of work, which is exactly why he kept putting them off. He gives each area of his life its own folder with a CLAUDE.md and a notes file, so the money stuff does not mix with the rest.
Noticed she was free Thursday for jazz and booked Crazy Pizza via
In the same 'Lux' demo, Ashley Graham showed the AI proactively notifying her that she and husband Justin were free Thursday for jazz, suggesting a booking at 'Crazy Pizza,' checking OpenTable availability, and mapping traffic from Maplewood, NJ with advised departure times. The demo covered date-night picks, calendar management, a rescheduled fitting email, and a Marketplace kids'-bike search — positioned as full life management.
His agent cuts his films into shorts on its own

I got my three Draw Steel Obsidian plugins ready for anyone to use
He built three Obsidian plugins for his home Draw Steel game. Over one weekend, with AI, he got them ready for public use and anyone can start using all three now.

His agency's agent finds prospects, reaches out and books the meetings
His agency's AI agent analysed LinkedIn profiles, flagged prospects and reached out; it booked meetings with potential customers, and a client found this way pushed them to sell the agent itself.
The AI streamed his desktop's 5.1 sound to his handheld, near one-shot

Two one click scripts handle the encrypted Excel files that arrive by email and keep the CRM updated
He had the AI on Windows develop two PowerShell scripts for multi step data processing, each with a small window on top that launches the whole process with a single click. Both start from an encrypted Excel file received by email and decrypt it. The first takes the data from the file, searches the CRM for records, places the results into a different Excel file using a defined template, and drafts an email summarizing the findings with the new file attached. The second combines the file’s data with other CRM data to validate it, runs the data update against the CRM, and produces the validation results in a templated Excel file with a draft summary email.
Game animation from one shot delighted his 4-year-old, until later tweaks made it worse
An LLM one-shotted animation juice into games he made for his 4 year old, but later prompt tweaks made it worse and he had to edit the code himself.
