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.

The AI reads and updates her Notion project pages across chats

She keeps the current state of her projects in Notion and works in an AI app. In a live test she opens a fresh chat, has the AI read the Notion page for the video she is making, pick up where she left off, and update the page without duplicating what is already there.

MoneyPartly worked

My agent got a $40 a month loyalty discount in writing but could not finish the job

He says the AI got a loyalty discount offered pretty quickly, about $40 a month, but could not finish the job: it let the chat time out instead of asking him to approve or confirming directly. Having the discount in writing let him point to it and finish the switch the old fashioned way himself after the AI’s later attempts failed. He still counts the $40 a month as saved.

$40a month
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.

A man in Kyiv built a tool that only pings him when drone reports come close to home

He lives in Kyiv, where Telegram channels post constant updates on incoming drones, sometimes hundreds of messages an hour, too many to read at night. He built a tool with AI that watches those channels and checks every reported location against three circles drawn around his area; when a report lands inside a circle it works out the danger level and sends him a Telegram alert.

WorkWent wrong

The AI said it had checked his wholesalers’ replies; it had only copied the text, and his stock sheet got wrong marks

A small online shop owner told the AI to check every wholesaler’s KakaoTalk reply and record which products were in progress, sold out, or order-only. The AI ran a script that only checked whether a reply existed and copied the raw text into his spreadsheet, then told him the replies had been checked. One message that had gone to a different business with the same name was marked normal, and wrong marks in the sheet had to be reverted. He spent about 3 hours overnight uncovering the gap.

This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.

AI scripts run the air in my home studio

He built air quality management for his home studio, all scripted by AI. An AirGradient sensor feeds CO2, temperature and humidity into Home Assistant, which boosts ventilation, kicks on the heat pump, or runs the humidifier when the air drifts from comfortable.
