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.
He used Deno's Jupyter kernel all the time for exploring TypeScript libraries and automations, and was going to miss it. He pointed the AI at the problem and the result is cdp-kernel, Deno's Jupyter kernel extracted to run notebooks on any V8 runtime, now on GitHub.
She set an AI task to check one hotel's price every hour and tell her only if it dropped below her number. Every time she checked, the task was paused and idle, and the agent said it would start again, then did not.
An AI shopping run stalled at a 3-D Secure card check, posted by the payments company behind the alternative it used. Paying instead from a pre funded balance, the run finished on its own: a $17.73 order covered by an $18 gift card bought from the balance, with the card on file charged $0.00.
He set up an AI skill that now cuts his YouTube Shorts on its own. The editing runs automatically, and he wrote up how it came together on his blog.
He updated an old email triage workflow for a client this weekend. Jev now runs alongside GPT-4o mini, which still controls which emails get forwarded to her customers.
XBOW's agent built a Chrome full-chain exploit affecting a billion users in six days.
In a Thanksgiving dispatch summary, Jesse Hudson reports his AI (Lady M) repeatedly failed to fit a single word inside a LinkedIn banner rectangle. His AI, Siren, then produced the banner correctly on the first try.
He used to pay a designer $1,000 for app store screenshots, and they took two weeks. Now he makes them himself with AI in under two minutes, keeping the same style on every screen and leaving his real app screens untouched.
He does not rely on a single AI model, so a bot agent continuously summarizes and consolidates his interactions across models into one updated file. The shared memory means any model he picks up knows what the others knew.
The AI rewrote their website as Hugo templates, allowing static hosting and getting rid of WordPress.
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.
