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 man fed an expanded spec sheet into AI Sites and got a working booking website for his rehearsal space in 30 minutes. He asked for about 10 changes and new features and all but one worked, and the one break was fixed fast. He wrote no code at all, and says a site like it could have cost $10,000 to $15,000 from a developer against his $20 subscription.
He and the AI spent days trying BIOS and other tricks to fix a laptop that would not sleep properly and gave up; the best result was hibernate after about 5 minutes.
A Purdue professor built Docable, a working tool that turns PowerPoint, Word and PDF files into accessible versions for new disability rules. The AI and the AI helped him create a codebase of about half a million lines in a few months, and his talk explains the checking method he uses so agents can validate their own work.
Vanshika Singhania (2.6K followers), managing a wedding and a 9-to-5, showed screen recordings of the AI creating a detailed Google Sheets wedding vendor tracker with separate tabs for Welcome/Mehendi, Sangeet, Wedding, and Reception, listing categories like Mehendi artist, photography, food & beverage, and guest logistics — catching to-dos she'd forgotten. Another recording shows a weekly content-plan spreadsheet with scheduled video ideas, and the AI attempting a Saturday brunch reservation at Shu
Agent built pricing and scheduling tooling that routes jobs to contractors and handles exceptions, and his complaints pipeline dried up (Airbnb and move-form parts duplicate his 50053301 records).
Creator Leslie Samuel has the AI manage his Facebook Marketplace selling. When a buyer asked the dresser's dimensions, the AI relayed the question to him, sent his answer to the buyer, and she bought it the next day. The AI also reports inquiries per listing and reminded him of two year-old listings he had forgotten, deleting them after his approval. He has listed three items this way in a week: one sold, one pending pickup.
Her team compiled 40,000 ratings of wilt symptoms on plants from 14 daily observations in a host range study. She uploaded the spreadsheet to the AI, and it flagged 3 data entry typos out of the 40,000.
An LLM configured his Rocky server in about 5 minutes; the server is still running with no effort from him after 6 months.
Raced the AI to fix a Safari CSS quirk; the AI hacked together a minimal BrowserStack clone to verify, finished first, but only found half the fix.
For a year he plugged in a USB WiFi dongle because his built in WiFi was not working and he could not fix it himself. The AI fixed the built in WiFi in 10 minutes.
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.
