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.
Erica at Bank of America ordered my replacement card
The poster used Erica, the Bank of America AI assistant, to order a replacement card, and says it was faster than hunting through the bank's menus. Erica went from a curiosity to a time saver.
The AI matched 242 files to her site by fingerprint and moved 288, deleting none
A creator's business folder was full of logos and images and nothing said which ones were still live on her site. Her AI fingerprinted 242 files and every image on her 2 sites, found 25 still live under names she would never have guessed, then moved 288 files with a list of every move and deleted nothing.
I asked Astra to order free samples to my door, and it did
From one prompt, Astra found free sample offers and ordered them to his house: energy drinks, bin liners, lotion, suction cup hooks and perfume samples. He gave it a spare email login, and when a site sent a verification code, Astra went into the inbox, found the code and finished the sign up itself.
The AI made the advert for the event I help run
The AI researched the event, looked at the programme and speakers, and picked a style. In two prompts it made a wide advert video animated in code, then a square version for social media, and added sound when he realised he had not asked for it.
The AI installed my GTA4 mods and picked the files that work together
He spent about 5 minutes picking the mods he wanted for GTA4. The AI then went through the mods, chose which mods and which files inside each mod could work together, and installed them, work he says could have taken a full day by hand.
Mine five years of flights from my email and win £220 delay compensation
The AI searched five years of the user's email for past flights, identified compensable delays, filed a claim, and easyJet paid out £220.
£220
The AI cataloged 20 years of my backups. 8.1 million files.
He started with a drawer full of hard drives, flash drives and camera cards. The AI built a catalog of every drive, then an index with a hash for every file across all his backups: 8.1 million files, 3.6 million of them unique, going back about 20 years.
The AI plans my training each week from my Strava history
He just subscribed to the AI and is setting up a Strava link. The AI gives him a weekly training plan based on his goals, his past workouts, his time, and his injuries, and it got to know him fast.
Built a dinner outfit from pieces the user photographed and uploaded from
A young man (OUT OF OFFICE, 30K followers) photographed his wardrobe and fed the pieces to the AI before a dinner reservation. Nova chose a black henley and dark wide-leg jeans, cross-checked his calendar and noticed the reservation was outside so it advised layering a long-sleeve, then recommended loafers over sneakers plus a silver watch and bracelet.
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.
