He rebuilt his EV charging sizing tool for the web in minutes
For 4 years his team has built simulation tools to size EV charging installations, using tools like Simulink and Jaamsim. Yesterday he built it in web format in minutes using AI.

Level up how you use AI
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.
Pay my parking ticket from a photo, no instructions needed
In a Vox feature on personal agents, entrepreneur Matt Van Horn said his wife sent Instinct a photo of a parking ticket with no instructions at all. The agent, which already had her credit card on file, simply paid it.
Turned 87,000 customer reviews into a full SWOT analysis in minutes
Nathan Daggett of Live Bearded (Phoenix) had the AI go through 87,000 website customer reviews and build a full SWOT analysis; by hand it would have taken months, the AI did it in minutes.
The AI one-shot a dashboard for his air conditioning system
The AI one-shot a custom web dashboard to control his Samsung AC system.
'Mila' coaches Day 19: three garage-workout options plus weekday reminders
On day 19 of using her AI Mila, the agent offered three beginner low-impact workout options built around her garage equipment — she did all three — and keeps weekday workout reminders running.
The AI designed a flexible circuit board that passes the factories' checks
The AI with KiCad MCP produced a flex PCB that validates in JLC and PCBWay DRC tools, not yet ordered or programmed.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
Converted 6,000 saved Instagram posts into a mapped Florida bucket-list organizer
Lexie Alford asked the AI to turn 6,000 saved Instagram posts into a mapped Florida bucket-list organizer. Saved-post archaeology turned into a usable travel map — the same pattern as the recipe-PDF case, applied to travel.
Set up a new AI model on my two home servers while I stay in bed
A home-lab owner reported on X (via WhatAgentsCanDo, Oct 19) that, still in bed, he sent the AI a link to a post containing a setup recipe for a new DeepSeek model (DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017, EXL3) across two NVIDIA DGX Spark machines and asked it to do the setup. The AI was not installed on the Sparks, but they shared a network with its computer, and everything was ready to test by the time he got up; he says he does not know exactly how the bot reached the machines.
Our focus timer app, built with AI, is free on iOS
WildFocus is a free iOS pomodoro timer that invites people to stop scrolling and sit still, and someone joins you. The studio says it was built with AI, and it is live on the App Store.
An AI assisted computation produced a counterexample to a graph coloring method
A question asked for counterexamples to a graph coloring algorithm that reduces coloring to polynomial equations. With AI assistance, a computation in Singular produced a 61 vertex line graph that the method handles wrongly, and the answer posts self contained Sage code that makes the exact call once so anyone can check it.
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.
