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.
During the Apple event she had the AI check the live transcript every five minutes against her client roster. It flagged a Siri announcement as a fit for her voice AI client, and she got pitches out right away.
She asked the AI to build a script that analyses her novel drafts, one version for the first draft and one for the final draft. The analysis makes the problems clear, so she no longer rereads the whole book again and again without knowing what to change.
Without being asked, Harry McCracken's Dot began flagging incoming messages it judged urgent or important in an inbox flooded with PR pitches. It also resurfaced an email from a freelance author that he had overlooked for weeks and nudged him to respond.
A man created a virtual credit card in Robinhood for his AI. He had the agent buy his tickets to a jazz show that night.
A Japanese non-programmer who posts about shochu, his garden and the AI across X, Instagram and Facebook gets a 7 AM message from the AI with today's paste-ready post text, the photo to use and 3-4 posting steps, prepared from a one-page work memo of what is due and what is already posted. Drafts are scored against his rules and only those scoring 80+ are sent; the agent must ask him rather than invent personal experiences it cannot know.
Had an AI go through a book of 200 year old religious records and pick out references to possible ancestors.
The AI 3.8 Flash, via his own coding agent tool, upgraded his Markdown and SVG renderer tool to also render HTML; the upgraded tool is live.
After a corruption incident cost him data, the AI recovered 4 unpushed commits to atcr.io. Those commits were among the things he most wanted back.
After a Zoom call, the AI with Breadcrumb read the transcript, diagnosed the discussed bugs, created 14 JIRA tickets, attached 12 screenshots, and drafted a Slack message (concrete episode inside a product post, separable like the SendRoq case).
The writer asked his dot for help with his new broadband provider. The dot did deep-dive troubleshooting, contacting the provider's support itself, and figured out a login issue he says he could not get around on his own.
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.
