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.
Paired with Zapier, the AI checks his spam folder for mail that should not be there; most scans find nothing, but the few real messages it rescues make it worth running. It also uploads and catalogues invoice payments for the finance team, work he used to do by hand.
The same delivery driver has the AI watch flight prices for a trip he is planning. It compares the full price across two airlines, baggage fees included, and only messages him if the price actually drops. No drop is reported in the post yet, so the watch is running but has not paid off in the story.
Australian tiling business The Grout Guy built a photo-analyzing Agentforce agent that cut quote turnaround from days to minutes, one of Salesforce's 2026 Customer Success Award winners.
A man runs agents called Pi on a VPS behind a small app he had them build. One listens to a WhatsApp group and spots bills, a second Pi with DeepSeek reads each bill, pulls out the amount, due date and reference, and updates the database, and a merge step clears duplicates.
Peter Yang gave the AI Duet one short request and a link to his YouTube channel. Duet pulled a year of his published videos and their public data and built a report with charts, which found that personal AI agent videos are his breakout topic and that his solo videos now beat his guest videos unless the guest shows a real demo.
A musician in a home studio asked the AI to search his Instagram followers and follows for musicians active in the past year, select two songs per musician, and compile them into a YouTube playlist. The agent succeeded, creating a 6+ hour 'Community Listening' playlist — music mostly new to him from his own network.
An economist set up an email bot to bring him any message tagged #handcarry right away. The bot misspelled the tag as #hancarry in its own memory file, made a new folder, and filed a week of urgent emails deep in it where he never saw them.
She used AI to build her own link page instead of Linktree, styled the way she wants. She posts the outfits people ask her about, links the page from her Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, and earns a commission when someone buys.
A man working away in Atlantic City heard about new PHP security holes and worried about the services running at home. Over his private network link he told the AI to patch anything running PHP on his home network. Ten minutes later everything at home was patched.
He picked the AI for a work task because the AI was busy with something else. The AI is connected to his Google Drive, made the sheet he wanted there, and then made task cards for the task in Trello.
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.
