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 Korean AI educator split his Naver Blog automation in two after learning Naver blocks the AI’s browser tools by policy: The AI drafts posts into a queue file on a schedule, and a Playwright script on his own computer publishes them daily via launchd. Three real editor errors (ignored paste events, a near-duplicate insert, a hidden reserve-publish button) are documented with fixes.
X poster someone had the AI compare 3 shops, email 2 installers, and book a Thursday install: $1,450 vs the original $2,300 quote, saving $850.
He asked his bot to sign him up for the side events around All-In Montreal. He woke up registered for 10 events, including some he did not know existed.
A podcaster connected his bank accounts to the AI. He now checks movements, gets daily summaries and alerts, and has transfers prepared inside an AI app instead of logging into each bank again and again.
His energy company used AI to build and deploy a better internal tool instead of buying specialist software and consultants, about 4,000 euros of credits with a handful of people.
Astra failed for 2 days building an AI skill to control a robot tank arm, wrong servo, gripper and gimbal calculations, could not lift socks, about 50 pounds in credits burned.
Agency owner Nick Saraev documented handing his business's work to the AI for a week: auditing every task, having the AI plan the automation systems, building evals, and turning the winners into reusable skills. The tasks that scored well were scheduled to run without him; he kept judgement calls for himself.
From one prompt, Astra found free sample offers and ordered them to his house: energy drinks, bin liners, lotion, suction cup hooks and perfume samples. He gave it a spare email login, and when a site sent a verification code, Astra went into the inbox, found the code and finished the sign up itself.
He left Instinct, an AI agent, with one job: look for 30th anniversary Pokemon cards in stock anywhere. It sits in the background and alerts him to places that have stock.
The AI pulled all the interesting footage and shots from a 24-hour public tourist webcam and produced a shareable artifact.
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.
