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.
WisePPC runs a scheduled the AI check over its own Amazon catalog. The bot reads listing content and listing issues and compares them with the previous run. If nothing changed, it says nothing at all. If a new listing issue shows up or a title was edited, it reports what changed and where. It only reads, and it asks before it changes anything.
He spent hours trying to set up a phone for a man with Alzheimer's and could not get it right. Then the AI wrote the app he needed.
Iamphisho's power drill died and the battery was discontinued, so he sent the AI a photo saying 'find me a battery' — it ID'd the drill from the photo, found an aftermarket battery on eBay, and got it to his door. 'I never opened a single browser tab.'
Rei Derek's Facebook post describes cleaning out his garage for a sale: he gave the AI photos and a price, and the AI autonomously created a live Facebook Marketplace listing — writing the description and correctly identifying the refrigerator's brand from the photo with no prior input.
For an eight day trip to Perth with his son, he talked the schedule through with AI and built a travel booklet and two browser apps, one for him and one for his son, with daily phrases and small games for the long flights. The prep took three to four hours, and he says the apps helped them again and again during the trip.
The AI was fed government forms, UI design and legal requirements and produced the app in 1 hour; the team completed conversion of 150+ forms in 2 weeks with one person versus a year before.
A man who runs his own services at home sent his AI an article about a PHP security hole. The agent patched the services that had a fix, stopped the ones that did not, set up a watch for new fixes, and updated and restarted nearly everything as fixes landed through the day.
Said asked the AI to find every locksmith in a city for Partexia and pull emails; he sent 15 personalized outreaches and one business replied asking for a call.
He made a pocket money app for his children. Parents post chores with a payout, the kids get them on their phones, and the quickest to tap accept wins the job. The child adds photo evidence, the parents approve it, and the app totals the week's money on a leaderboard, paid in cash on Friday.
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.
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.
