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.
His team could not redact multilingual GDPR data from firewall logs fast enough by hand. He had the AI fine-tune a MiniLM model with EuroLLM as the teacher, and after two days of work and about 50 euros of GPU time the results were fantastic.
Nina Dobrev asked the AI to track flight prices from 4 cities ($7,472.74 total) and build a 10-day Rome itinerary for her girls' trip. Multi-origin price tracking plus a full itinerary — group-trip planning with real numbers.
In 'A Month with AI', the MBI Deep Dives author writes that the AI filled out forms with five auto insurance carriers from his details and showed him quotes; switching at the same coverage saved $1,530 per year. He then set the AI to repeat the shop every five months, ahead of each six-month renewal, indefinitely.
For a cleaning business, the AI manages contacts, drafts client messages, chases reviews and maintains the CRM, holding every outbound message for approval before it sends.
Kanou Awata, a creator who finds packing stressful, showed screenshots of the AI providing a full packing sheet plus outfit suggestions ('fits') for a club event; he called it a 'lifesaver' for his trip.
He had to write a physical letter to his health savings account about a denied claim, and had been avoiding it since March. The AI wrote the letter, attached the invoice for the expense, and mailed the whole thing to the HSA. His only job was taking over for the $2.31 payment. Whether the claim was then paid is not stated in the comment.
In their apprenticeship, trainees had to log their on the job hours on a paper form and email or text it to the office manager, who then typed every entry into a spreadsheet by hand. He built an app so apprentices can submit their hours directly. Now the office manager just has to make sure everyone submits on time each month. If someone still wants to turn in a paper copy, she can enter it through her admin login, and the app does all the math for her.
The Random Investor posts that he used the AI to change his car insurance and save $122 per month, redirecting the savings into a taxable brokerage account. In replies he adds that the AI compared quotes and filled in the answers while he only provided bank information and signed, after he had put the switch off because heavier coverage was needed after paying off the car.
Got the AI to implement TPAP compatibility in Swift purely by interacting with his local plugs and response shapes plus RFC 9383, figuring out it was SPAKE2+ and the password hashing steps.
The AI goes through their shared work inbox, makes a list of every email, and sends three spreadsheets out to the departments with their tasks on them. The poster says it has basically changed their life at work.
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.
