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.
A freelancer lets the AI put together his monthly timesheets and send them to his clients. Once a client signs a timesheet off, the AI creates the invoice for it. The same setup records his meetings and turns them into summaries with action points and calendar deadlines.
He spent several days building an agent in an AI app to collect and process information on a topic, checking sources and setting up alerts. He says it did not work at all.
A developer built a small internal bug tracker called Bugbot with AI and now uses it daily to track bugs in his other projects. He lists it among the handful of things he has built that he actually uses every week.
He had a pile of old laptops he had never gone through. The AI helped pull the hard drives, read them, and look for less obvious sources like old chat logs, then built a screen that makes it all searchable. He found personal history he had forgotten about.
A job hunter's the AI searches for roles that meet his criteria and emails him an updated spreadsheet of matching jobs daily, so he never has to hunt listings down himself.
The AI diagnosed the user's failing waterfall pump, selected an efficient replacement, designed a 3D-printable adapter for it, and separately saved $1,100 a year moving car insurance from AAA to Progressive.
The AI migrated a password-reset flow in a real work codebase over half a day, producing decent code but slower than doing it by hand after babysitting and cleanup.
This year he vibecoded his taxes, a completed real filing task.
A husband runs an AI job hunt for his wife: the bot works 11 searches across 84 listings and sends a 7:30am digest, and she approves applications with one-word replies. The search runs daily without either of them opening a job board.
Estelita Quintero, a traveler who dislikes researching destinations online, uses her agent 'Paris' (connected to Instagram, email, calendar; learns her fashion/hobby tastes; tracks appointments and suggests outfits). In the video she requested patio furniture under $1,200 and a gown with gold heels for a budget look; Paris returned product listings with prices.
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.
