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 same investor says he also has the AI watch special situations and send him push notifications when a situation changes. He mentioned it alongside the investing sheets the AI keeps updated for him.
He upgraded Proxmox on 3 nodes, with about 30 containers moving from Debian 12 to Debian 13, and put Opus at the wheel. The upgrade finished with zero drama.
The AI pursued a refund for a defective product by claiming on the extended warranty attached to the user's Amex card, rather than the retailer's return window.
His AI Scout built a staged pre-trip checklist ('a few days before', 'day before', 'morning of') for traveling with his dog — pet-friendly lodging, vaccinations, mail hold, packing — then sent reminders that day and a final 8:41 AM morning checklist before they drove off.
She was using AI to archive legislative material when it flagged a serious vulnerability in a state legislature's website. She had to stop and report it.
The AI decompiled his old VB3 game and recompiled it as a Linux AppImage. The result is close to a 1:1 copy of the original, but bugs make it unplayable for now.
Kndarp sent the AI a photo of a broken IKEA cupboard door with its article number. The AI searched his emails for the original order number, reached out to customer support on chat, and arranged a replacement parcel arriving next week at no cost — 'No £ spent.'
Got the AI to build a focus app for his Mac; he uses it daily and says he does more good work with it.
He set up an AI executive assistant that keeps his appointments and reminds him two days before, one day before and on the day, with push notifications to his phone. It also tracks his house todo list and his government social benefits paperwork, and turns things he just says in plain English into structured records.
Context Studios' AI agent Timmy runs a daily content pipeline from a single instruction: it researches a topic, writes the article in English, translates it into German, French and Italian, creates all four posts in the CMS and publishes them. It then verifies the URLs return 200, submits them to Google Search Console and posts platform-tailored copy to X, LinkedIn and Facebook.
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.
