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 maker had the AI design a circuit that shows a picture stored in a memory chip on a standard VGA screen, using common logic chips, and write the chip code for it. He routed the board himself, had it made for $6, fixed the one missed error with a wire, and the board works.
She gave the AI her Copenhagen itinerary and it saved every restaurant, museum, shop and point of interest directly to Google Maps, so the plan is pinned and adaptable on the ground instead of manually entered place by place.
Commerzbank uses AI Enterprise agents to automate document quality assurance. Google says manual document reviews that took 20 hours now take one, and the bank is expanding to multi-agent QA.
The AI connected to the creator's Instagram and pulled every positive DM and comment from the past five months; she hand-wrote them on sticky notes arranged around a world map.
Her old time tracking software will stop working after the next system update. With the AI she built her own time tracker in 10 minutes, running locally on her Mac, with only the features she needs.
Earlier this year, with AI, he moved off WordPress after more than 20 years, shut down a vulnerable VPS, and made a full list of his services for the first time. Last night he had the AI check that list again.
The AI modified a NYT-style web game in about 10 minutes to change the rules for his wife; she was delighted.
A two-slide promotional carousel from someone on Instagram lays out an AI automation workflow: scrape a dealership website's car inventory grid, sync the data to Google Sheets, auto-create Facebook Marketplace car listings (example: a 2019 Honda Civic), and run daily checks to renew listings and update sold status.
When Jack asked the AI to send an email, it stopped with an approval prompt showing exactly what it would send: Allow, Always allow for this recipient, or Deny. She denied; nothing was sent.
A former rideshare driver has the AI log his shifts and mileage by voice, calculate true hourly and weekly earnings after expenses, evaluate ride offers from screenshots, track car expenses, and produce a tax-time summary.
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.
