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.
For his father's laser printer repair company, László researched the business and built a website holding the full sale plan — what transfers, deal and price, process and first 30 days. It also produced a spreadsheet of 136 potential buyers, each with a fit score.
A user built optimAIzr with AI, a local-only CLI that analyses his own LLM usage habits, flags costly or repeated patterns and estimates where he can cut tokens or spending. All data stays on his machine, and the tool adds live tips while he works.
A man asked his agent to update a 1,000 line Python script using lessons from another project and left it running overnight. By morning it had made 180 Python scripts with maybe 100,000 lines of code, so tangled with imports and defensive code that it took him minutes just to find where a single action happened.
For football season a man pointed the AI at his utility server and had it set up Dispatcharr, a TV guide system. Finding his 50 channels among 80,000, with guide data that does not always work, is the hard part of this setup. The AI got it configured, wrote scripts to parse channel guides from sources the built in guide misses, scheduled them to update daily, and deployed the whole thing.
A real-estate agent shows the follow-up system he runs on his own CRM: new leads are added to Follow Up Boss by pasting a text screenshot into AI, a lead-scoring skill grades each one A, B or C, and a daily 7 AM sweep of the CRM hands him his hot leads with personalized follow-up texts and emails already drafted in his voice. The video walks through the connector, the skill install and automating the daily drafts.
Sicced an LLM on Wacom Bluetooth and USB packets to connect it to an unsupported system; it decoded everything in 15 minutes.
He runs about 15 apps and sites and could not keep track of what needed doing. He connected the AI to his app through MCP, and the AI now creates tasks and subtasks, writes notes, and shows him what is needed by priority and due date.
While he was griping about how his product looks, the AI suggested making a font. He let it install FontForge and make one. The result was poor, even though the AI said it was a good job.
Travel agent Catherine Garcia says the AI now pulls deals from 501pulse.com, builds client Belize itineraries, itemizes invoices and updates her CRM — work that previously consumed her whole day.
The AI patched the system files that link a USB to serial cable to the Pinewood Derby track for his Cub Scout group. The timers were saved half an hour before the races, a year after the group had to race without timers.
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.
