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 had the AI benchmark around 20 models on his own machine and give him a report comparing run speed and quality. After 7 hours of testing it said gpt-oss-20b was the best fit for his setup, and that is the one he chose.
He asked his AI to edit an entire video and it did the work, from picking the takes to lowering the music in the quiet parts. The video is the third in his series about building his toolstack with an agent.
The founder of the Gym Commitment app connected the AI to it through a custom MCP server so the AI works as the trainer inside the app. In a real test, a user described his goal and schedule, the AI asked up to 12 questions, searched 1,872 exercises, and pushed a 4 day plan to his phone in about 5 minutes, only after he approved it.
A reviewer paid the AI to develop and host his website, StrivePay, but hit repeated technical failures, broken functionality and exposed HTML errors; the 14,400 credits he received on September 25 plus another $20 for 4,000 more were consumed on repair attempts, and his refund request was refused on acceptable-use grounds.
He asked the AI to write a short email to his hotel asking for a better rate. The front desk called him back and dropped the room from $330 to $240 a night, saving $90 a night, and he says the whole thing took about 30 seconds of his time.
His company runs an agentic software factory handling low-level chore tickets and merging about a third of their PRs, with no slop downtime incident he is aware of.
Mom of two picky eaters (ages 5 and 2.5) asked her agent 'Daisy' for a week of meals. The AI produced the plan and compared prices at Aldi vs ShopRite (about $5.47 cheaper at Aldi); she filmed the actual shopping trip and the cooking.
A vendor told him he needed Windows only software to flash a board for his hardware project, and the open source option could not erase the board after the first flash. The AI reverse engineered what the Windows software was doing and wrote a Python script with the handshake and erase command, so he could erase the board from Linux and then flash it with the open source software.
Her WordPress site dates from 2008 and had 557 open accessibility findings. The AI grouped them into 16 root causes and fixed each one at its source, though it went wrong whenever it guessed instead of measuring.
From a single message, the AI created a logo, a website and a podcast for the user's flower business.
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.
