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 Facebook screenshot shows the AI's pending-order screen: 'the AI wants to place an order at Duffel' for an American Airlines round trip, Raleigh/Durham to Dallas departing Monday Oct 19, 2026 at 11:39am nonstop and returning Friday Oct 30, 2026 at 9:35am nonstop, one passenger (Paul Armstrong), total $607.09, payable by Mastercard or Link.
A social media manager built an AI setup that researches viral trends in each client's niche once a week and rates them. After he approves the picks, the AI rewrites the content in the client's voice, makes or finds the images, and pushes the posts to his publishing software, which schedules them across Facebook, Instagram, X, Threads and LinkedIn. The job took about 8 hours by hand and now takes about 30 minutes.
Allison Amini, a travel advisor (someone, 5.3K followers), asked whether to book now or wait for Christmas flights (LAX to SJO/Liberia, Dec 22-30). The AI’s 'Journey' asked clarifying questions, advised booking soon (fares ~$1,213 round-trip, peak demand), and with permission set a 3-hour watcher that only alerts on significant drops.
Connecting the agency's own MCP-based SEO service to Toby took an afternoon of wrong turns between desktop and web plugin setups, but once authenticated it created both monitored sites and completed full crawls: 44 pages for the law firm and 111 for the medical practice. Google data imports were still skipped because the service had no Google connection configured.
The AI generated his chess analysis code, annotated PGNs, HTML pages and videos over multiple sessions; he now regularly consumes the generated video.
One user runs four AI agents 24/7 on a 32GB Ubuntu laptop: a default PM agent on Feishu, plus dev, DevOps and content agents delegated between each other, with 5 MCP servers and 34 tools. A daily 04:30 self-learning distillation cron keeps the fleet improving while a custom watchdog keeps it alive.
Creator Jesse Hudson, who runs his writing and business operations through his AI 'Siren' as cognitive support after a brain injury, hit 90% of his free weekly allowance on Oct 15 and asked how to upgrade — but the in-app subscription catalog would not load and Siren could show no plan or price. Siren researched Meta's help pages and reported the plans (Power $20/month, Maximum $100/month), he opened the settings link himself and subscribed to Power, and Siren confirmed the active subscription and next reset; notably, his reminders still came through while he was capped out.
His 25 year old Intel Play QX3 microscope had no software that would run on a modern Mac, and he pulled it out for his grandkids. He worked with AI in stages in one morning to build a Mac app for it, and his grandkids were soon watching a seashell through it.
A home services business was losing leads nobody followed up. The AI scores each new lead A, B or C against the owner's 4 rules, writes a short summary on the contact, and drafts personal WhatsApp follow-ups that a person checks and sends each morning. The poster says it brings in 5 extra contracts a month at about 9,500 euros each.
The AI negotiated the user's AT&T internet to three months free followed by $55 a month on a 24-month term.
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.
