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 reviewer gave the AI rules based on dates and locations and had it rename his Strava activities that carried generic names like 'Morning Run', adding who he was running with to each name, while the AI kept a log file of the changes in case he wants to review anything later.
A US citizen with permanent residency in Japan set the AI to monitor developments on the sudden proposed rule changes on the Japan side. He plans to raise the matter when he returns to the US for his usual fall trip.
His dad lost the magnetic board games he used on road trips. He had the AI research and build simple digital versions of the games, and his dad plays them now.
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 mined his old Twitter archive with help from the AI. His old threads of more than three tweets and his collections of links are now on his own site as historic blog posts.
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.
The AI created an audiobook for him from the Robin Buss translation of The Count of Monte Cristo, which had no audiobook.
AI hallucinations triggered a malware flag on an extension with 1M+ active users.
Engadget reporter Karissa Bell tested the AI for a few days starting with her Meta-app activity, since she was initially cautious about granting access. Alongside the recipe book, she had her agent ('boo') compile the restaurant posts she'd saved on Facebook and Instagram into a searchable guide organized by city — turning a dead-end save pile into a usable dining shortlist.
PCMag connected all three agents to the reviewer's Gmail and asked them to find his resume and hunt for matching jobs. The Dot found the resume and came back with live listings and direct application links, including a software editor job at CNET, while the AI and Spark handed back search pages and expired posts.
