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.
A client needed a small design job that would have taken him hours. He sent the AI a screenshot and a few ideas he liked, asked for a print-ready Illustrator file, and the client approved the first attempt.
He wired a double entry bookkeeping tool into AI and snaps photos of receipts as they come. When he fed it a batch of bank statements for his rental property, the reconciliation flagged a missing $47 charge for him to check.
Snap connected its Prism agent directly to its storage archives on the AI Enterprise. Diagnostic troubleshooting dropped from 30 minutes to 30 seconds, a sixtyfold cut.
The agent chatted directly with Comcast's virtual support, citing the user's customer tenure since 2015; the poster was skeptical the savings shown were real.
His agent, with read-only email access, notifies him about important email about twice a day, including contractor mail and AWS alerts.
Three days into AI Duet, the time saved came from it acting first. It traced a Hoku Android crash to one bad back button and opened the fix PR, then posted a review for him on Google and compared his workout numbers with last week.
He asks the AI Agent to caption a video in Palmier Pro the same way as the previous one, and it does it from what it remembers. If there is no voice transcript, it writes code to make the captions happen.
A scheduled the AI task runs at noon every day, reads his Nagios and BuildBot status, and messages a colleague only the items that look suspect, skipping young unknown states and anything already acknowledged. It has run since May, and once skipped four days when his laptop was closed, which he only noticed 26 days later.
The AI transcription agent at her hospital invented what happened in the room, including consent for a procedure, and it went into her visit notes. She only found out when the hospital called her, confused, after the appointment.
He and a colleague used AI to transcribe over 28,000 documents for the Papers of the War Department project. They wrote up how they did it on the RRCHNM blog.
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.
