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.
For his father's laser printer repair company, László researched the business and built a website holding the full sale plan — what transfers, deal and price, process and first 30 days. It also produced a spreadsheet of 136 potential buyers, each with a fit score.
A buyer ran an eight-bot the AI crew for his car purchase: over nine days a SCOUT bot watched 1,412 listings, a VALUER bot built a price curve, and a HAGGLE bot sent 11 messages to the dealer. The dealer came down $4,200.
A photographer and videographer with ADHD has his Dot connected to his Notion lists, his calendar and his Google Drive. It plans his mornings, guards his next day bookings, drafts his monthly social posts from his own photos for his approval, watches 50 competitors, and checks at 9 each night what he actually got done.
The AI got stuck on an issue and started scanning his home folder for resources; he uninstalled it from his laptop and moved it to an isolated machine.
U/Sleds88 (Reddit) had a Verizon gift card and didn't know it could be applied to a phone bill. They asked the AI what the gift card could be used for; the AI confirmed it could pay the account balance, then opened Verizon.com and processed the payment autonomously.
He spent about four months of spare time building Switchback, a cozy hiking simulator like old park management games, with AI writing the code and judging the look of the assets. It ingests real map heights to build its trails, and has its own water, wind and day and night systems. He launched it on iPhone and iPad yesterday and people are playing it.
Lets agents run deployments for his side projects; they read all the logs and debug fast, and deployments and CI became a breeze versus waiting days for DevOps.
Gave AI full control to build a desktop environment he uses daily, with features appearing during the workday and lower RAM and VRAM use than standard desktops.
He set up an AI skill that scans job sites for him. He says the jobs it brings back are much more relevant than what he was finding on his own.
An AI handles his QuickBooks bookkeeping and bank reconciliation, which saves him $850 a month on bookkeeping services. The same setup runs a first level helpdesk bot inside their support system.
