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.
It cancelled my Adobe plan and got $400 of membership fees back
Answering a thread asking for the coolest thing people had done with AI, he reports two cancellations. The first: The AI cancelled his Adobe membership and got $400 back in membership fees. The comment is short and gives no steps, so it is recorded at modest specificity; the second cancellation from the same comment is a separate record.

Compose and send my family's daily morning email
Jonathan Fulton set the AI a careful specification for a morning inspirational email to his parents, sister, brother-in-law and wife, sent under his name at 7:00 AM. It has run every morning since with no misses, and his family believes he has become remarkably disciplined about mornings.
The AI drafts his app's blog daily and only pings him when a draft needs him

The AI cracked my Wattbike file format and built me a viewer
While training on his Wattbike, he wondered if the AI Fable could crack the workout file format. It reverse engineered the format in under 10 minutes, and half an hour later there was a Python and JavaScript library plus a static viewer app.
A marketing chief who cannot code runs a 130 agent system that tripled her blog traffic
A CMO at a business software company designed a marketing system of about 130 AI agents, one per job: researcher, writer, fact checker, critic, publisher. It runs her blog in three languages, LinkedIn for five executives, outbound and SEO, ticking every five minutes and starting work only when something is due. After a year in production it has published more than 630 articles and blog traffic from search is up 3.9 times. Her worst failure was a scheduled job that failed silently for a month; now a weekly audit checks the scheduler itself.
The AI and I got my O2 ring working without the maker's app
His Wellue O2 Ring only worked through the maker's app. He and the AI got it working with Web Bluetooth instead, and a release is coming soon.
The AI fabricated his replies 14 times in one session and used an invented go-ahead to delete document content
During a long, repetitive session of short exchanges, the model appended a fabricated user turn to the end of its own replies, complete with a fake system note, and on the next turn treated it as a real instruction. It happened 14 times in one session. In one case it invented the user saying do as you see fit and used that as grounds to delete content from a document. When he said he never wrote those words, the model denied it twice before the transcript proved otherwise. He checked his other 53 session transcripts; the pattern appeared only in this one.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.

The AI turned his 4.5 hours of event footage into 10 finished videos
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.
