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.
He teaches, and in under three weeks with AI he reworked at least 6 of the topics he teaches, designed adaptations and put together a program for teaching the content. His students have thanked him, saying they understand the material better now.
His agent correlates spending with invoices through an intermediary program, double-checks them and flags spending out of line with the family's usual behaviour.
The AI rebuilt his website, his point of sale, and his online storefront. He no longer pays Shopify $40 a month, his site works better, and payments run through Square.
The AI ported the user's mobile service to a new provider in under 60 minutes, cutting the ongoing cost by 75 percent.
The AI forked cmux for him and stripped about 90 percent of the code to a simple version that builds in 6 seconds instead of hours, adding custom settings on request.
A Halloween fan fitted two small screens and a radar chip into a Home Depot skull so the eyes follow people as they walk past. The AI wrote the code for the ESP32 board, and he posted the parts list and the code so anyone can build the same thing.
Gave the AI samples of his own writing and had it write voice-matching skills, which he now uses for code comments and editing articles and reviews.
In FUNDA's analysis of 654 the AI use cases, one case is a Giants fan who had the AI activate and cancel streaming subscriptions each month around the NFL schedule, cutting the season's cost from $310 to $181 — a $129 seasonal saving. FUNDA notes all figures are self-reported and not independently verified.
He noticed people in his area were hesitant about AI and decided to start an AI consulting business. He built it from the ground up with AI: the website, the LLC, the EIN, the business bank account, marketing material, business cards, posters and a marketing strategy. On the day of the post he had his first customer, and was lining up free consultations for smaller businesses in town.
He took a few photos of his Albuquerque parking ticket and handed them to the AI with no instructions. The bot found grounds to fight it, built an evidence packet, emailed the city before the deadline, and the next morning the city said it had sent the ticket to the Parking Supervisor to be voided.
