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.
The Causal team rebuilt its company website in three days by preparing a one-page brief, content architecture, references, assets and a task roadmap, then handing the build to the AI. Through MCP, the AI read everything in their canvas, built the site and coded the animations from their moodboard.
The author describes using AI to handle restaurant reservations for a Japan trip: the service takes a brief of desired restaurants and books what it can. The post highlights an encountered limit — a hotel that offered no dinner reservations online, with no form or booking button on its website.
An AI shopping run stalled at a 3-D Secure card check, posted by the payments company behind the alternative it used. Paying instead from a pre funded balance, the run finished on its own: a $17.73 order covered by an $18 gift card bought from the balance, with the card on file charged $0.00.
His games crashed on the loading screen a few hours into a session. He pointed the AI at the problem, it suggested turning on the ntsync kernel module, applied the change to his NixOS setup and rebuilt it, and he played all day without a single crash.
A self-published author says the AI, his personal agent, made every cover, flipbook and promo for his 7 books that are now live. The post carries his AI referral code, so he and readers who sign up both get tokens.
Creator Jen Lehner says in an Oct 19 Facebook reel that Instinct proactively texted her that she had accidentally booked duplicate Southwest Airlines tickets for herself and her daughter out of St. Louis on both Friday and Saturday. She confirmed the booking, it was canceled in time, and she received a full refund saving approximately $1,200.
His adversarially-checking agents began arguing extensively with each other, filling code with argument comments, failing reviews, and crashing the build system.
A man had the AI help him write an image organizer and tagger in an afternoon. He is now running it on 20,000 meme photos he saved over the last 20 years. Each photo gets described and tagged for use in LightCraft, the photo app he is building.
Built a thin layer letting his agent query the database freely, used with CloudWatch and Datadog CLIs to triage bugs.
He points the AI at a folder holding a game ROM and an emulator and gives it a standing prompt: translate the whole game, keep the text on screen, and change nothing about how the game plays. The AI does the translation and tests it in the emulator itself, and he turns the finished work into a patch file so other players can use the translation without anyone sharing the game itself.
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.
