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.
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.
Creator someone asked the AI to research and book a Burmese restaurant for the weekend via OpenTable, with her approval. Cuisine-specific restaurant booking with an approval gate — the delegation pattern working as designed.
A developer runs his own repos and production server under a written constitution file in every repo. Automated runs check production logs daily and file bug reports. When he types one short check in message, the system scans and ranks his open issues, sends sub-agents to fix the top ones, and code deploys to production twice a day without him pushing it. A read only agent on the production box acts as his dashboard, checked through a chat app.
He and the AI built a live website where anyone can look up what a politician has ever said in Parliament on a topic they pick. He calls it a moral manoeuvrability monitor.
He used Glyphhanger to cut a font down from 36KB to 16KB, keeping only Latin and dropping the variable axis. Then he let the AI try, and it redrew the glyphs and got the font down to 6KB.
Jen Lehner says she asked Instinct to handle returning a Ralph Lauren puffer coat. The agent managed the entire return process and sent her the required barcode.
DoltLite, a SQLite fork with Git-style version control, was built with 2k agent PRs and released in beta.
Engineer AJ Stuyvenberg let his AI handle his 2026 Hyundai Palisade purchase by email, and it played dealers against each other over several days. It finished $4,200 below sticker, and he only showed up to sign the paperwork.
Simmons asked László to check in with his father once a week about the business sale and report back, judging his father more likely to talk it through with an AI checking in than to raise it with his son. The article records the arrangement being set up, not its later results.
Facebook version of chelseakauai's Sardinia plan: The AI created a seven-stop Sardinia route map, produced a list of boutique hotels with live availability checks, and emailed hotels directly on her behalf — securing a €240 discount by booking direct instead of through a platform. The AI asked for approval before any payment.
