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 blind AppleVis reviewer writes that he recorded a WhatsApp audio message from an Uber asking the AI to sign him up for an NFB CENA webinar on iOS 27 updates. The AI processed the signup flawlessly, relaying to him the survey questions the NFB form prompted for, and put the webinar on his calendar — one of dozens of conversational automations he set up in his first week.
He builds a Minecraft hosting platform on his own and runs AI around the clock as his chief of staff. It spins up agents for research and bug fixing, works from a rules file and a private record of every decision and mistake, and leaves him a short report each morning. Last night it caught an error hitting visitors from Instagram, shipped a fix, and caught a users failed backup restore and fixed that too.
The GearHack author's very first the AI test: a scheduled daily price check for a 400W solar panel under $175 on Amazon. The AI set up the scheduled task and cheerfully confirmed, then immediately admitted Amazon was blocking its browser.
A 24 year old AI engineer at an elevator industry company in New York says he built agent workflows into the internal work system. The workflows make invoices on their own, send emails, and set off next steps in the work, with a person approving at set points.
He used AI to create RaveMove, a site that teaches electronic music dance moves with free lessons at your own pace. The site is live and he is asking people to try it and tell him how it goes.
Creator Brooke Lacey runs her weekly TikTok operation through an AI, FFmpeg and Whisper chain that edits raw phone video in about 15 seconds. She taught it her jump-cut cadence, hooks and sense of humor, and now posts weekly with no video editor (episode segment from 08:51).
Calling sellers about his orders was one of Josh's biggest pain points — so the AI took it over: it called a seller to correct his shipping address, and called a seller to resend his missing orders.
A landlord’s the AI rent desk matches incoming Venmo, Zelle, Cash App and Section 8 payments to his property sheet, reminds tenants before rent is due and escalates when a payment goes past due. Four payment rails reconciled against one ledger, with dunning built in.
He replaced dozens of separate the AI chats with one persistent Dot chat. Dot starts remote the AI threads on his always-on Macs to update his Obsidian vault or find order details, and it messaged him on its own about flooding in Hawaii days after he had asked about Hawaii weather.
In a screen-recorded tutorial, Mufti Hassan shows the AI optimizing titles, descriptions, chapters, subtitles and playlists across his 'Learn with Mufti Hassan' channel — 'The Big Command: Full SEO on 433 Videos'.
