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.
Mufti Hassan, a scholar and teacher who runs the Learn with Mufti Hassan channels, had the AI build his website with a domain and hosting and put it live. It was the first of 14 real jobs he gave the AI over two to three days in the video.
The AI configured his arr stack plus NFS mounts, share templates and a VPN init-container in Kubernetes; the cluster is now easy to manage and debug.
Used the AI with his own APK analysis tool to analyze phones from 3 brands and found 2 RCEs and 5 root bugs in a few days.
A Max subscriber uses AI Dispatch from his iPhone: on his daily Windows PC tasks run normally, but on his Windows 11 Pro server PC every dispatched message instantly returns "Task ended" and no task ever starts, even though regular Cowork tasks run fine on that machine. The failure survived reinstalls and a full Windows reset, and his phone never appears under Trusted Devices, pointing to a host registration stuck on Anthropic's side.
Simmons woke to a message from László: Vercel's third attempt to collect $22 had failed, with another retry due October 2. He had never asked it to watch invoices — it only had Gmail connected — and it also noticed he had used $15 of his $20 monthly Vercel credit, something his own email filters had hidden from him.
Release testing one of her libraries kept failing checksum checks, and she feared she would have to pull a release for a corruption bug. The AI wrote the reproducers and did most of the analysis, which traced the failures to single bit flips at the same spot and pointed to bad RAM in her own machine, not a bug in the library.
He works with collision data as a UK highways engineer but could never answer the simple version for his own commute: which route has actually hurt people. He built SafeRoute with AI, which plans a route and scores it on five years of collision records; colleagues then asked for the same data as branded evidence reports for committees, which the tool now produces in about 30 seconds instead of a day of manual work.
He is moving his cloud use from the US to the EU. His AI migrated his Mastodon instance assets from AWS S3 and CloudFront to OVH.
The AI tried to fuzz a Jane Street ASIC puzzle circuit, switched to a Z3 and SMT route and solved it in about 3 hours; writeup published.
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.
