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.
Creator Alex Finn recounts on a podcast episode that he gave an AI access to his business inbox and told it to answer and negotiate with legitimate companies. Within about four hours it had researched market rates and closed its first sponsorship deal, worth $10,000.
The AI walked his Android TV box through installing SmartTube, changed the playback settings, and imported his channel list from a NewPipe backup. It was done in minutes and replaced a setup he called poor man's Netflix.
A man used AI to lower his internet bill by $60 a month. He says it was free, took 30 minutes in the background, and needed very little from him.
Every release of his app used to cost him a weekend taking store screenshots in 16 languages, cropping them and pasting them into store cards. He and the AI built a small tool that drives headless Chrome through the real app, grabs the screens in each language and composes the finished cards with captions and backgrounds. A release is now one command.
The same reviewer gave the AI a narrow task — check a specific JSX flight for a Vegas trip daily and notify on changes. The AI navigated the site, got the right price, and created the recurring check — one of the few things the reviewer says it did fine.
Fully rolled out a custom PR review running on GLM-5.3-Flash for his devs last week.
Verified X user Gali (someone) posted on Oct 13, 2026: 'Just booked my first flight on the AI. Time: 18 minutes.
Antigravity reworked a 3D-printed purse hinge for TPU printing, taking measurements and rotating parts on its own; it held dimensional accuracy and inferred dimensions he did not have.
Lexie Alford asked the AI to turn 6,000 saved Instagram posts into a mapped Florida bucket-list organizer. Saved-post archaeology turned into a usable travel map — the same pattern as the recipe-PDF case, applied to travel.
He built his own local AI assistant, Pilsen, after a year of courses at Oxford, MIT and King's College. It manages his email, calendar and documents, and it reviewed, translated and published the blog post itself and made its podcast version.
