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 AI makes his listings for eBay and Facebook Marketplace and researches what similar items sold for. He approves the price before anything goes live and sends the photos himself, which he says keeps the listings honest.
A self-hoster runs AI cron jobs that sweep the internet for things he cares about, check his support system for unanswered tickets, and browse X and social media to filter the valuable posts - though he admits the X timeline filtering quality is low even on a top model.
Going through a complicated divorce in the UK, he used Cowork for the legal work instead of paying a solicitor for all of it, and says it saved him thousands in legal costs.
His company paid $180 a month for five seats on SmartSuite, the tool holding their documents and HR files. He built a replacement with AI that fits their exact needs, can grow to thousands of users, and will cost less than $30 a month to run.
Yair Savlevi asked the AI to watch a booked United fare and get a credit if the price dropped. The AI secured $1,000 in credit.
Used the AI to build an omit needless words app and used it to edit a document he is working on, accepting about a third of its suggestions.
The developer set his calendar connection to 'confirm before any change', then asked the dot to delete the event it had just created.

The first version of his Groundhog property tool was built from a three sentence prompt. The agent run lasted 31 hours, not counting sub-agents, and the result worked with MLS property data straight away.
Built his own personal-life organizer with AI in a few weekends; it syncs WhatsApp, Telegram, Gmail and calendars locally, indexes them, and runs scheduled scans, daily briefings and reminders with plugins.
Built with agents over about a year: a production billing system for his small telecom company, a multiplatform app, internal tools in use, and a coding agent harness now used by non-technical colleagues.
