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 same investor says he also has the AI watch special situations and send him push notifications when a situation changes. He mentioned it alongside the investing sheets the AI keeps updated for him.
He gave the AI access to his Auth0 tenant to check his JWT validation. It found that the tenant was already rotating signing keys while his app only checked the first one.
He scraped a friend's two social media profiles, made a plan, and had the AI create a website for them. In about half an hour he had a site to show them.
Martin Cox set up Shopify's shop.md in an AI app and told it the running shoe model he normally wears. The AI found the exact pair in his size on sale from the brand, built the cart and checked out with Shop Pay, all inside the chat.
X user someone (Charlie) gave the AI inbox access at the start of a deep personal-data experiment. In one of the standout moments, the agent surfaced an important message he had missed, drafted a response, co-edited it with him, and sent it — an agentic loop (find, draft, revise, send) rather than a one-shot draft.
The AI handled the user's medication refill end to end: messaging the doctor through the portal, getting the approval email, and placing the pharmacy order.
He told the AI to request anything it could get sent to him for free, with no limits set. So far a fabric sample and a lot of state travel guides have arrived, and he is a bit worried about how much more is coming.
His local Qwen agent computer with full PC access does file organizing, analyzed his local data and wrote several small tools to manage it automatically, coded a KDE widget for VRAM model swaps.
He gets 215 GitHub notifications a day, so he built a bot to triage them.
He filmed about 4.5 hours at a village event weekend with no plan to edit it. Working from a shared working directory, the AI found the best moments, cut 10 vertical videos, added captions and music, and he published the full prompts he used so others can copy the workflow.
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.
