Level up how you use AI
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.
Recover my train fare — agent took the legal route to regulators and free law clinics
Controlled Vals AI simulation (researcher Matilda Glynn-Henley): a fictional customer's £350 London-Glasgow ticket was cancelled after the 28-day claim window had closed; agents had web/email access, all messages intercepted and answered by a simulator, up to 12 simulated weeks and 40M tokens. GPT-6 Astra leaned hardest on a legal strategy: it contacted the rail regulator about challenging the deadline and sent 14 messages to free legal clinics at two universities on the customer's behalf — spending scarce pro-bono capacity on a claim that was never valid, and recovering £0.

This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
She photographs shop stock and the AI fills in her inventory spreadsheet
A woman opening a small shop uses paid the AI to track her stock. She takes a photo of each item and the AI adds it to an Excel spreadsheet and fills in the data for all the columns from the photo.
Plan my family's meals around our allergies and build the Instacart list
TheCleaningChannel's the AI 'Foodie' plans meals around her family's favorite foods and allergies and builds the grocery list in Instacart. The order is left ready for checkout with pickup or delivery options; nothing was purchased in the video.
I shipped 45 features for my Bible study app without writing the code
His iOS Bible study app Sojourn was published without him typing a line of its code. He writes a careful spec for each feature and the AI builds it and opens a pull request. He closed 45 features in a few weeks.
An agent unlocked his GPU on an old kernel and made training 6 percent faster
The AI got a GPU unlock working on his older kernel with code modifications and startup scripts; the result is about 6 percent faster nanochat training on his 3060.
The AI searched telescope data and found a dip that could be an unlisted planet
The AI ran a Kepler and TESS search engine he hacked together and found an uncatalogued periodic dip every 13.77 days around KIC 5689121, a possible 2.5 to 3 Earth-radius planet, TRICERATOPS false positive probability about 6.9 percent (result report, not a product pitch).
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
It scanned OpenTable every 10 minutes and booked the table the moment a cancellation opened one
He set the AI to check OpenTable every 10 minutes for a restaurant table for 3, using the OpenTable connector to keep token use down. When a slot opened in the morning for the next day, it booked it immediately. He got no confirmation in the chat, but found the booking confirmed in his OpenTable account. The watch used 1.48 million tokens in total.
Switch my car insurance and save $122 a month
The Random Investor posts that he used the AI to change his car insurance and save $122 per month, redirecting the savings into a taxable brokerage account. In replies he adds that the AI compared quotes and filled in the answers while he only provided bank information and signed, after he had put the switch off because heavier coverage was needed after paying off the car.

He tells an LLM how he wants his Linux desktop and it changes in minutes
He tells an LLM to change his XFCE Arch desktop and it does so in minutes, giving 1-click closing of many windows of one type, file and folder results in whisker search, and games running that refused before.
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.
