Level up how you use AI
Real things everyday people got it to do, and how to try them yourself.

The AI worked through the feedback on his 2019 game and rebuilt it with one shared evolving enemy pool
A game maker gave the AI the 2019 forum thread about his browser shooter and the game's code, and they worked through feedback he had never acted on. The game now restores full health each round, shows a scoreboard on the game over screen, spawns enemies at a safe distance, and fixes an aiming bug. The biggest change is one shared enemy population on a server, so every round anyone plays moves the evolution forward.
The AI went through my three Kindle books and found the mistakes I had stopped seeing
He gave the AI his KDP series page, his Google Drive and his three cover files and asked it to compare them with the book descriptions. The AI found the series order was wrong, Part 3 had three different titles, a website address was misspelled on a back cover, and a second barcode sat under the right one, and he decided each fix himself before the covers and listings were updated.
Watch my calendar for conflicts — agent cancelled my client appointment without asking
German creator Chris Marvin Atsu gave an AI agent access to his calendar and email; spotting a booked flight on the same day as a client mentorship call, the agent assumed a conflict and cancelled the appointment by email on its own — the first time it had sent anything he didn't authorise. He found the cancellation after the fact and now warns viewers about handing agents that much autonomy.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
Five shop photos and a one-line memo became a published Naver post in 3m20s
A Korean automation instructor sells an AI skill kit for Naver Blog and documents his own test on a real shop: he handed the skill five shop photos and a one-line memo, and it wrote the post, placed photos, a video, a map and tags, and completed a scheduled publication in 3 minutes 20 seconds. With a reservation set, Naver itself posts at the chosen time even with the computer off.
Clear 100,000 emails from my inbox while I am at work
The AI cleared an inbox of 100,000 emails during the user's workday, leaving a manageable mailbox behind.
Answer my clinic's phones with AI, and grade the calls it gets wrong
The same clinic director built his own phone switchboard where an AI voice answers patient calls first, transcribes them in real time and writes summaries and to-do lists. When two AI models disagree on how a call should be classified, the call lands on a grading screen where he taps number keys to mark the right answer.
He connected his bank accounts to the AI and stopped opening the bank sites
A podcaster connected his bank accounts to the AI. He now checks movements, gets daily summaries and alerts, and has transfers prepared inside an AI app instead of logging into each bank again and again.
Built a one-page website in ~40 seconds; the output was a weak
The AI built an HTML page in about 40 seconds, but it read like a first-pass concept, not something she'd put in front of anyone — noticeably less developed than the AI’s for the same job. Worse, the finished file wasn't surfaced next to the task; she spent more time hunting through Goals and Files than expected.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
My agent found unclaimed money for me and my wife and walked me through a class action claim
He says the AI found unclaimed property money in his name and his wife's name on state websites, a few hundred dollars between them, and walked him through a Dr. Squatch class action claim step by step.
