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.
Planned multi-city international trips (Toronto, New York, Dubai, Korea, Singapore), found flights,
Creator someone asked the AI to plan multi-city international trips — Toronto, New York, Dubai, Korea, Singapore — find flights, book a hotel, and email the full itinerary to her husband. Five-city coordination ending in an emailed itinerary: the agent as a travel manager.
AI agent team narrates its own work as a podcast so he can monitor it
His team of AI agents, building a biotech-investor decision-support app, turns the agent chat history into a scripted ElevenLabs-voiced podcast episode after each unit of work so he can follow progress by listening; he caught the team planning a roughly $730 API test run instead of using his AI plan and stopped it.
Sign into AT&T, cancel two unused Apple Watch lines, and switch my plan
The father says the AI signed into his AT&T account, found two forgotten Apple Watch lines, cancelled them and switched his plan — about $75/month saved. He says he never opened a settings page himself.

She had pension paperwork scattered from 9 permanent jobs since 1990. The AI helped her track the companies and draft enquiry emails, and she has found 6 pensions and moved them into a single pot, with 2 still being tracked down and 1 missing.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
Fill and submit UK master’s applications from one master file
A student built one file with his personal data, grades, language scores and certificates, then had the AI complete his UK master’s applications — selecting programs, auto-filling forms, asking only when data was missing, and cutting each application from 1–2 hours to under 10 minutes.
Negotiated a monthly internet bill from $100 down to $85
Facebook user Joshua Rieth says the first thing he tried with the AI assistant 'the AI' was negotiating his monthly internet bill, which dropped from $100 to $85. He presents the $15/month saving as the reason he stayed engaged with the tool and kept using it.
$100

Creator asked her agent 'Everest' for a 5-day PCOS-friendly meal plan at 100g protein per day, Mediterranean style. It produced the plan, a grocery list, a Sunday prep schedule, and set a Saturday 6pm calendar nudge for weekly prep.
The AI found why we were bouncing our own active SMS clickers
His company's system was bouncing active SMS clickers who threw too many 30003 errors. The AI Ultracode found the cause, and the fix means the sunsetting code now ignores active clickers.
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.
