The AI named the broken fridge part from my photo. It arrives tomorrow.
A clip snapped off his fridge door, so he sent the AI a photo of it. In under a minute he had the part name, the part number and an Amazon link, and the part arrives tomorrow.

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’s decision engine sorts his private photo library at just under 85 percent accuracy
The AI built and optimized his local decision engine for his private image organizer, reaching just under 85 percent accuracy across 500 validation prompts with sub-second responses.
Our kitchen whiteboard is now a family display that updates itself
Josh Kahn replaced his family's kitchen whiteboard with a TRMNL e-ink display that shows the family Apple calendar, a dinner menu calendar, and the weather. GPT helped him build and refine the custom Liquid templates behind the plugins, and the display now stays up to date on its own.
His draft language got its honest review from an agent re-implementing real notebooks in it
Tested his draft DSL by having a coding agent re-implement a colleague's notebooks in it; the output uncovered warts in the DSL he had not caught testing it himself.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
My bot talked a treadmill seller down by $750, then paid
A SpaceX launch engineer says his AI talked with a treadmill company's sales rep and got the price, the subscription and the assembly fee lowered, then paid. He says it saved $750, and no brand or receipt was shown.
$750
Non-engineers at his robotics company ship real internal apps through an AI skill
Internal app platform with an AI skill for writing and deploying apps; non-engineers used it for inventory, scheduling and other forms and databases at a robotics company.
Plan my family's meals for my weight-loss challenge
A dad of two under two steered the AI to build Forkcast, a weekly meal-planning and calorie-tracking web app, because existing apps plan only a day at a time. It generates his grocery list from the week's plan and imports recipes from photos and labels for his 90-day weight-loss challenge.
The AI runs his Etsy channel, Chrome extensions and Facebook pages on autopilot
He describes the AI running on autopilot for his business — managing his Etsy channel, building Chrome extensions and operating his Facebook pages daily, needing his approval only rarely.
Build my clean-eating Instacart basket — it shopped for a family of 12
A finance blogger prepping for a Hyrox race asked the AI to build a clean-eating Instacart basket and reorder a week of family staples. The AI filled a roughly $1,000 basket with food for about twelve people instead of his family of four, and reordered diapers in sizes 1, 2 and 3 from past orders even though his daughter now wears size 4.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
The AI attached a debugger to the GPU driver and shimmed his local AI into working
The AI in Antigravity attached GDB to the GPU driver, reverse-engineered the kernel queue ioctl interface, and authored an LD_PRELOAD shim that got ROCm llama.cpp working on his Strix Halo.
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.
