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.
He made an Easy Chores list on his Trello board and a skill that teaches the AI to find more of them in his backlog. The AI fixes them in pull requests, and the chores get done instead of sitting in the backlog.
Self-described non-cook (just learned what a skillet is) named her agent 'MOTY' (Mother of the Year). It surfaced a sheet-pan dinner recipe from her saved Instagram posts, built a grocery list from ingredients she already had, placed the grocery order pending her approval, and later gave her cooking-timing reminders while she cooked.
An AI finance desk handled a business’s finance admin around an $87,055 receipts figure, run with read-only account access plus a dedicated receipts@ inbox so the week never has to be rebuilt from browser tabs. The desk’s design keeps money movement out of the bot’s hands.
The AI configured his network, fixed an incomplete fast-roaming setup and a DFS channel delay issue.
A non technical founder, who spent 25 years in banking, has six AI agents running his small business magazine: a CEO agent, trend scout, researcher, writer, SEO agent and publishing agent. He has caught real errors, including a sales agent that wrote a full report for a fake email address and a CEO agent that burned money by waking up too often.
He gave his AI its own author account on his WordPress site. The agent decides what to write and when to post, and its first post is live.
Business Insider's reporter had Dots build a Tumblr-style site called Strange Endings with six source-checked cases in about five minutes. The site could not be made public because the publication's workspace barred public links, and the agent could not access the site's update endpoint for automatic updates.
A hobbyist designs his own furniture in OpenSCAD with AI, reusing code from earlier pieces. A new design takes a couple of hours including the PDF blueprints, drawn like shop instructions, that he prints so the person cutting his wood panels cannot go wrong.
Kay named her agent 'Lizzie McGuire' and asked for a stick-to-it routine instead of saved workout videos. The AI built a 4-day home plan using dumbbells and bands on Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri mornings, set a 6 AM daily reminder, and offered to send daily exercise details.
Elon Musk posted that he asked the AI to research the most fun Lego Star Wars kits for young kids and order them; the shared confirmation showed five sets totalling $241.34 with free delivery. The screenshot also exposed his order number, email and partial card details, and users claimed they used them to try to cancel or alter the order via Lego’s service bot.
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.
