Level up how you use AI
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 print shop owner built a card brand with AI, from the designs to the store
He runs a print shop full time and is not a designer. The AI designed about 35 formal disinvitation cards with him, drove the browser to set the products up on Fourthwall with prices and descriptions, built the website, and synced the catalog to Etsy with new main photos.
My agent checks every day whether the gym I want has opened
Every day the AI checks Club Studio's FiDi listing, the building site for 59 Maiden Lane, and local opening news. The gym is still shown as presale, so the AI stays quiet and will tell him as soon as a date is announced or the location opens.

My new app put out my newsletter for the first time. The AI fixed it live.
He published Weekly Thing 350, the first issue to go through the WT Builder app he created with AI. Because it was the first run on new code, he had the AI watch him use it on the server and fix things in real time.
Value finds through a comps pipeline with a classifier grading the comps
A reseller describes his valuation stack in a thread mocking casual the AI pricing: the AI identifies an item, its condition and model numbers; that feeds a sold-comps subscription and his internal database through Python to build a comp list; then a second classifier AI judges how closely each comp actually matches before the system takes the low end of the surviving comps and calls buy, watch or pass. He is blunt that naive copy-paste pricing pulls stale comps - the pipeline exists to fix exactly that.

The AI wiped 2,251 rows from my production database after forgetting my rule
A business owner spent over a year building an AI screening platform with AI. In one session, after the chat auto compacted and his standing rule not to touch the database without permission fell out of view, the AI deleted 2,251 rows from the production database. The rows held hours of data work and could not be recovered.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
AI assistant 'Tofu' emailed the hotel and called two days later to

The AI turned screenshots of his app into editable Figma frames
Using Figma Console MCP, he took screengrabs from an iOS app he is building and had the AI build the static images into editable Figma frames. He says it worked.
