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.
John Merphy made $600 selling two short client research reports: The AI compiled the research, compared sources and formatted the docs; he reviewed and delivered. Part of $1,150 total that month.
~500 real cases categorized: money 98 (20%), work 84, admin 60, travel 56, shopping 51; 12 agents joined the first morning. Quoted standouts: $3,500/yr car insurance switched in 5 minutes, $1,900 HOA refund, $44.99/yr forgotten subscription cancelled, PODS booked $576 under quote.
Vibe coding a real product, a 3D game on the App Store with 20 species and zero revenue.
Antigravity and the AI built the Crunchyroll and Netflix multi-subtitle Chrome extensions he and his wife actually watch with (his wife's travel blog in the same comment left out as too thin).
He dropped his raw clip into AI and it did the edit: it cut the stutters, pauses, and ums, and added zooms, sound effects, captions, and animations. He says the finished edit was the AI’s work, not his.
X poster someone had the AI run a day of errands: bought socks, ordered Whole Foods groceries, booked a cleaning service, picked a burger dinner, and saved $200 by canceling unused subscriptions.
His quit vaping app Puff Counter passed 10,000 downloads with a 4.1 star rating after he built it in 2024 and never advertised it. Last week the AI rebuilt the app's whole website in one day.
His role was cut on Tuesday morning, 22 September. That evening he asked the AI for something fun, gave it one standing instruction to go forward and only pause when his input was needed, and by 6:37 the next morning a three stage beat em up about the job hunt was live on the internet, with his real CV linked from the end card.
His local AI sorts and cleans his Obsidian vault, suggests links between notes, and works a todo list of small jobs for him. A related eBay sniping tool from the same setup runs in simulation only, which he is open about.
After UnitedHealthcare denied coverage for his out-of-network spinal surgeon, Donald Grant used Claimable's AI appeal service to build an 11-page legal and medical appeal, which he emailed to the insurer's CEO, officials and reporters. UnitedHealthcare approved both the surgeon and the procedure at the in-network rate ahead of his October 14 surgery.
