Real things everyday people got it to do, and how to try them yourself.

Aggie Lal (verified, 1.7M followers), a mom, asked her AI 'Munchkin' to process her ~14,000 saved Instagram posts. The AI identified themes (high-protein recipes, parenting, postpartum recovery) and generated organized PDFs: 'Saved Recipes' (Protein Power Bowls, Cottage Cheese Everything, crediting original creators) and 'Parenting Tips'.
Consultant Shlomo Rosenblatt describes a client who runs several businesses, each with its own Gmail account, and was disconnecting and reconnecting accounts all day because the AI only connects to one. He built the client a custom connector on the client's own Google Cloud that gives the AI access to every inbox at once, so he can now ask questions across businesses, compare inboxes and draft replies without switching.
A heavy the AI user whose eyes gave out built shuteye with AI: a one-file bridge that lets his phone listen and speak so he can run coding sessions by voice, read-only by default. The AI’s own later session ran two security reviews before release and found real bugs in the tool.
He had the AI watch his online trainings and take the tests for him, and he collected 40 certificates in one day. He told it not to get perfect scores every time, and he says the system is broken if this works.
Gaby Hersham built a nightly automation in which the AI reads the roughly 20 school emails her family gets each week and adds the important dates to the family calendar, ending the manual trawl through newsletters and PDFs.
NTT used AI Enterprise to rebuild data access and retrieval. Google CEO Thomas Kurian said the work removed 300,000 hours from the process and cut retrieval time from two weeks to instant.
Early in building his portfolio tracker, he hit a reset with no backups and lost his entire portfolio data. It was unrecoverable. Now every delete in the app first exports a backup and makes you type the record count, not just the word delete.
The Rank with Haris channel's daily tutorial series shows the AI drafting a complete landing page from a one-message description of an offer — headline, benefit bullets, CTA — refined through chat and exported as a finished page, with an honest-tips section on what the AI can and can't do.
The AI ran a protein-design pipeline at home on a 5090, chose similar tooling, and generated about 100 trajectories running 24 hours.
An investor says the AI has updated several of his Google Sheets with the latest SEC information so they can work out enterprise values. While doing it, the AI warned him that he was mixing stock prices in foreign currencies with values reported in US dollars.
