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.
Booked a restaurant reservation for nine people at Laila in Bay Ridge
Creator someone asked the AI to book a restaurant for nine people at Laila in Bay Ridge and plan a multi-island Hawaii trip. Group dining plus a complex multi-leg trip in one delegation.
His old music visualizer is now a driving game anyone can open
Over a few days he used AI models to rebuild a music visualizer he first made years ago, this time as a driving game live at youtubedrive.com. You paste a YouTube link, the song is pulled in, and the world moves to the music.
The AI and his own tool found 2 remote-code bugs and 5 root bugs across 3 phone brands
Used the AI with his own APK analysis tool to analyze phones from 3 brands and found 2 RCEs and 5 root bugs in a few days.
Every star, like and bookmark I save now lands in my notes
His reading was scattered across Readwise, Karakeep, GitHub stars and YouTube likes, away from his notes. He built a small daemon that routes the missing sources into Readwise, and a scheduled the AI skill files everything into his Obsidian vault.
Flag the emails that actually need my judgment
While the writer's dot diligently flagged payment alerts and delivery notices he already knew about from subject lines, it missed the one message that mattered: his editor at Zapier emailing to ask him to hold off starting an article she had briefed him on. Had he started the work, the missed flag would have wasted real effort.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
The AI built a plugin so anyone can see my Goodreads books
He likes Goodreads but people without an account cannot see his books there. He told the AI about it, and the AI created a WordPress plugin and made a books page on his own site, thatsportsgamer.com/books/, that shows his books using the Goodreads RSS feed.
It helped me fight a PayPal tax claim and the whole bill went away
PayPal had told the IRS he had done tens of thousands of dollars of business through it, when the real figure was $150. With its help he disputed the claim and the entire tax bill was eliminated.
His small businesses run on separate AI agents for inbox, outreach and quotes, and nothing goes out without his phone approval
He runs his own small businesses with AI agents. Each job has its own agent with its own instructions file: one triages the inbox, one handles outreach, one prepares quotes. The agents only draft; he approves every email and quote from his phone before it goes out. A brief arrives at a fixed time every morning with the overnight replies, what is waiting on him, and the follow-ups for the day, and it replaced his own daily check-in. When he corrects something, the correction goes into a shared notes file that every agent reads, so he only has to say it once.
