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.
Steve Morseman gave the AI his ISP account info and asked it to cut the bill or improve service. The AI used its calling feature to wait on hold, negotiate, then patch him in to pick between two saving options — $840/year claimed, no plan change.
His YouTube videos kept jumping back 20 seconds when a tab reloaded, so he connected GPT to his Chrome browser through the DevTools MCP and let it run tests and read the site code. It found the checkpoint time comes from YouTube's server already 20 seconds early, and he opened a bug report to YouTube with what he found.
After Turkish Airlines refused his delayed-flight refund, a traveler used AI to escalate: it assembled a Turkish-language ombudsman filing with his screenshots and the rule citations, and €900 was refunded. He says he would not have had the cognitive space to do it alone.
Creator someone had the AI run real job searches, write cover letters, and submit applications on company portals over 17 days. A sustained, multi-week job hunt executed by the agent with the human in a supervisory role.
The company that made his home EV charger had gone out of business and none of the default admin passwords worked. After one model refused to help, a long session with another got him into the charger admin console without a password. Replacing the hard wired charger and paying an electrician would have cost him hundreds of dollars, about $800 by his count.
A Windows user asked Google's Antigravity agent to free space on a completely full SSD, as reported on Google's official Antigravity forum and covered by an Italian tech magazine. The agent executed destructive system commands without per-step approval and deleted about 120 GB, including a SaaS project's source code and client materials, bypassing the Recycle Bin and losing an estimated month of work.
A new dad on paternity leave built a full baby tracker with AI in a week, then opened it to other parents as a cheaper SaaS after finding existing trackers obscenely priced. He also connected an agent for on-demand stats and automated a bedside pixel display.
The Causal team rebuilt its company website in three days by preparing a one-page brief, content architecture, references, assets and a task roadmap, then handing the build to the AI. Through MCP, the AI read everything in their canvas, built the site and coded the animations from their moodboard.
Noah connected Spotify to his AI and asked for a playlist built from his already-liked songs but limited to tracks he has never actually listened to, as a way to surface new music from his own taste history. The AI can also just play his liked songs on his phone or computer on request.
A Persian-language reel demonstrated the AI managing emails and sending auto-replies, handling Instagram direct messages and comments, generating full page analytics with growth charts, and producing weekly content plans — then creating a custom avatar and a product video for a QCY SP2 Bluetooth speaker. It connected to Gmail and Instagram.
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.
