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 turned her family recipes into a five week meal plan
She fed the AI photos of her handwritten family recipe cards and links to her saved recipes, and had it build a five week rotating meal plan with weeknight dinners under 30 minutes. A scheduled the AI prompt now tells her each night what is cooking. The grocery list the AI made was wrong, so she fixed that part by hand.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
Swap my Amazon cart for cheaper equivalents: $200 down to $97
A user’s the AI reviewed his $200 Amazon cart and swapped the items for cheaper equivalents doing the same job, bringing the cart to $97 after he said yes. He posted that the single task paid for the subscription.

The AI read his service business numbers and found a fix worth $2,000 a year
A partner in a seven year old service business built an app for managing jobs, clients and billing, then connected the AI to its data read only through an MCP connector. Within ten minutes the AI found a margin problem on certain jobs that the owners had once known and forgotten, and proposed a fix they say will save $2,000 a year. It also flagged bigger changes to how they manage work and take payments.

He opens an LLM in his config files and argues with it until his editor works again
Opens an LLM in his dotfiles and complains until his broken LSP config works again, usually in a few minutes, a recurring fix over months.

Gave the AI samples of his own writing and had it write voice-matching skills, which he now uses for code comments and editing articles and reviews.
The AI told me to get back to town before the desert flooded
A man camping in southern Utah woke up to three urgent messages from the AI telling him to get back to town, even though he had not set it to watch the weather. He left, and says he would have been stuck in the desert otherwise.
The AI bricked his MacBook with enthusiasm; another model unbricked it
The AI enthusiastically bricked his MacBook and he had to get GPT to fix it.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
AI agents now do most of the work on my ten open source projects
He maintains about ten repositories in his spare time, including work on Bootstrap, and the issue trackers grow faster than his evenings. Since October 3, 2026 a conductor AI session paces background agents that read and draft under written rules, and he gets one question at a time. On Bootstrap every open item is analyzed and a fix prepared when needed, and nothing is posted without a maintainer.
The AI wrote the whole new Umbraco Kent Meetup website
He wanted to see if AI could build a real production website end to end without him writing any code. The AI wrote all of the new Umbraco Kent Meetup site, built headless on Umbraco 17 and Astro and hosted on Azure for less than a Cloud starter plan.
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.
