Real things everyday people got it to do, and how to try them yourself.

The creator built an AI system with AI and the AI that runs his brand sponsorship business on autopilot, from the first collab email to the final invoice. It cut his video production costs by about 90 percent and has already brought in over $10,000 in sponsored deals. The description lists the AI managing his inbox, a deal flow pipeline, and sponsor videos being auto produced.
He gave the AI with GPT-6 Astra the measurements of his kids room and what it needed, a divider and a desk for each kid. It built the layout, rendered it in Blender, and made a complete shopping list with the exact furniture models and a ceiling rail for the curtain.
In one Saturday his AI assistant moved his newsletter to a new home, 92 posts and 798 subscribers, and drafted the new issue and a talk for Thursday. It also edited 10 versions of a vlog teaser, planned his 10 year anniversary trip, and reminded him about a $1,200 trade-in he had forgotten.
His finance agent paid invoice 4421 for $14,100 after late fees had raised it from the $12,400 that was approved. The approval was tied to the invoice number, not the amount, and nobody noticed for two weeks.
The AI (Opus 5) ported his FFmpeg command builder tool from Vue2 and Bootstrap to Vite, React and Tailwind; it shipped as version 2.0.
He got a Psion Series 5 and a USB to RS232 adapter working and saw the OPL programs he wrote as an 11 year old run again. He had the AI port some of the OPL code that had changed between the Series 3a and the Series 5.
Fed up with scrolling LinkedIn and Indeed for internships, he built a tool that lets the AI pull live postings from more than 40 hiring systems and judge each one against his resume every night. Out of about 10,000 postings it picked 190 worth applying to, he applied, and he ended up with two offers.
He takes notes on both a Boox and a Samsung device and the two formats did not mix. He built an Android app with AI that converts both formats back and forth, so he can move his notes between them.
Tom Mulholland, 66, owner of Mulholland Grocery (Malvern, IA; team of ten; US Chamber 2026 top-100 small business), had the AI produce social ads: he sent pictures of warehouse-catalog items and got ads in ~15 minutes vs hours of typing.
Andrew plays casual online chess against a friend he is dead even with, and was about to buy a Chess.com membership for unlimited game reviews. Instead he gave the AI his Chess.com account; it automatically pulls and reviews his game log every day, and the premium upsell lost its reason to exist.
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.
