Level up how you use AI

Real things everyday people got it to do, and how to try them yourself.

Shuffle again

A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.

Had the AI 'Buddy' style an outfit for an Art Hop with a

Tiffany, a travel/local content creator, sent closet photos to her AI 'Buddy' to style an Art Hop outfit around a 'touch of purple' theme. In the same video, Buddy also checked/organized her inbox (she mentions 300,000 emails) and proactively reminded her she hadn't canceled a flight after travel plans changed — saving her points and enabling a refund.

The AI Pro helped me find the right legal references for a lawyer

A legal librarian at a law firm had to check ten references for a Belgian lawyer working on warranty of liabilities cases. Three references had errors, one of them serious, and the AI Pro with skills and Google AI Overviews found the right reference in a badly protected PDF on revue-banque.fr where another tool pointed to the wrong one, and one more error was fixed using the next year's index of decisions.

Generated a week of kid-friendly dinners plus a store-section-organized grocery list as

Shawna (13K followers), a mom of three, used her AI 'Miss the AI' to reduce mental load. The screen-recorded chat returned six kid-friendly meals (rotisserie chicken tacos, spaghetti, breakfast-for-dinner, chicken nugget wraps, quesadillas with tomato soup, homemade pizzas), then a detailed grocery list organized by store section covering all dinners for two adults and three children, delivered as a downloadable PDF titled 'Easy Dinner Grocery List.'

It built my 45 minute run workout and sent it to Garmin Connect

He had the AI take a 45 minute run from a chat and save it as a structured workout in his Flow State calendar: a 10 minute warm-up, six rounds of 3 minutes at 5:00/km with 2 minutes easy, and a 5 minute cool-down. The AI sent it to Garmin Connect, then added pace targets to the warm-up and cool-down parts and updated the same Garmin workout with no duplicate.

WorkPartly worked

Ask the AI what in my 1,412 unread emails actually needs me

Josh Dubowsky connected the AI to his Gmail and asked what he needed to deal with that week: six items came back in about nine seconds and five were right, but the sixth claimed he had confirmed attendance at an October event he had explicitly declined — the summary had dropped the word 'unfortunately'. Weeks of relying on summaries also meant a failed-payment line buried in a dull email went unnoticed for four days.

This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.

Called AT&T and replaced an $85/month 500 Mbps plan with a $40/month

In FUNDA's analysis of 654 the AI use cases, one money case is a user who had the AI call AT&T and replace an $85/month 500 Mbps plan with a $40/month 1 Gbps plan — a $45/month saving ($540/year) with a speed upgrade. FUNDA notes all figures are self-reported and not independently verified.
