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.
Personal-finance creator Tiffany Aliche (someone) had her AI 'Monae' pull her saved Instagram posts about New York City events and organize them into a dated 'Fall NYC Itinerary' — including Morgan Library and Frick Collection free Fridays — set it to update daily, and add selected events to her calendar.
AI agent Rosey in a family iMessage chat does meal planning and Walmart grocery shopping via BrowserMCP.
Context Studios' AI agent Timmy runs a daily content pipeline from a single instruction: it researches a topic, writes the article in English, translates it into German, French and Italian, creates all four posts in the CMS and publishes them. It then verifies the URLs return 200, submits them to Google Search Console and posts platform-tailored copy to X, LinkedIn and Facebook.
The AI worked through data-broker removal requests for the user and got four broker listings about them suppressed.
Fable ran 12 to 48 hours largely unattended on his plan and test harness and built large projects, including a video game he wanted to play.
His poker group has played together since high school. During Covid they played on a website that later shut down, and there was no good replacement for friends who just want a game of Texas hold'em online. He started building his own with AI while playing with the group, and after he was laid off from his database engineering job he spent two weeks going full time on it: front end, logins, authentication and stats. It is live in beta and free while he waits for his bank to approve that it is not a gambling website.
He runs a five level system where the AI Design makes his Instagram carousels, from a basic prompt up to a full design system with AI generated images and a looping video cover. The first carousel made this way reached 4,500 views with 89 saves.
In a Spanish-language demo, tech creator MarcianoTech shows entering his BeforeBoarding login into AI's secure credentials store so it never has to ask permission, then the AI reporting back two completed VIP lounge reservations made with his Banreservas Infinite membership: flight AA2265 on December 3 (departure) and AA1154 on December 7 (arrival). When the departure system got stuck, the AI asked him to confirm the correct outbound flight, and he corrected it to AA2099.
A dental worker had the AI run Blender on his own computer and write Python add-ons for his design work. It built a tool that turns a shell into a based model, one for basic aligners, an automated baseplate designer, and a custom impression tray designer. A fifth add-on, for copying dentures, did not come out as well.
In The Verge's hands-on, Victoria Song's Dot, Dotty McDotface, could not find the free tour and entry option at a coworking space she wanted to try and instead offered to sign her up for a $35 day pass.
