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.
He wired a double entry bookkeeping tool into AI and snaps photos of receipts as they come. When he fed it a batch of bank statements for his rental property, the reconciliation flagged a missing $47 charge for him to check.
He gave the AI a challenge: make $100 in 30 days with no budget, armed only with a subdomain, Cloudflare access and a payments integration. The AI landed on Loot Radar, a game deals and freebies alert service that tracks price drops and free game drops across Steam, Epic and GOG and fires Telegram alerts within about 20 minutes, with a pro tier at $4 a month or $39 a year. The site is live and taking sign ups, payments wired. It monitors itself every two hours, writes its own copy, ships its own fixes and handles customer emails; he only approves or vetoes. The $100 itself had not landed yet on day one, so the outcome is partial.
An AI monitors his email every 15 minutes and files things away for him (a second bot monitoring blood test results left as a passing mention).
Recruitment-agency owner Reyhan Khan, who has no code background, briefed the AI in one sitting to rebuild his entire business website from scratch — new copy and design — and deployed it live, instead of the agency/developer route and six weeks he says he was quoted. The video shows before/after, the seven steps, and what he had to fix.
Jailbroke his Kindle with GPT-5.5 Sol and turned it into an external e-paper display; the project code was written by GPT-5.6 Sol.
DeepSeek upgraded gnarly, exploitable PHP 7.x code to fully patched PHP 8.3 in about 15 minutes for a few dimes of tokens.
Andrew plays casual online chess against a friend he is dead even with, and was about to buy a Chess.com membership for unlimited game reviews. Instead he gave the AI his Chess.com account; it automatically pulls and reviews his game log every day, and the premium upsell lost its reason to exist.
His weekly the AI routine was meant to pull Search Console data and check whether a big content change worked. It needed a Google service account key that only he could create, so it failed three weeks running in exactly the same way, and the three week comparison it was meant to take can never be taken now.
One user listed what his AI did over a few weeks: filed his homestead exemption back to 2024 (about a $4,000 refund on the way plus roughly $2,000 a year), switched his car insurance to Progressive (about $1,500 a year), moved him to a cheaper power plan (about $800 a year), filed 20+ class-action claims for him and his wife (about $500 expected) and applied to 15+ jobs that led to interviews. He put the total at about $9,000, with forms prepared for his approval.
