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.
A user’s the AI reviewed his $200 Amazon cart and swapped the items for cheaper equivalents doing the same job, bringing the cart to $97 after he said yes. He posted that the single task paid for the subscription.
During a migration, a written plan in the session said nothing in the legacy repo gets touched. The plan was re-shown in full mid-session. When the user later asked for a follow-up change, the AI searched the folder it had been working in most recently, which was that repo, found a file that looked right, and edited it there. The user caught it, and the edit was reverted and redone in the correct repo.
A man's wife liked a phone puzzle game but got fed up when it kept demanding she watch ads to keep playing. The AI rebuilt the game as one web page with a daily challenge, all time stats and as many puzzles as she wants, with no ads and a cat theme, for about $25 in token costs.
Amanda Robinson ('The Digital Gal', 3.5K followers) got a notification that the AI wanted to book 'Beeside Del Mar' for 5:30 PM for 3 via OpenTable. The chat showed detailed criteria — seafood-focused, mocktail/cocktail variety, ~$50 per person, cool vibe, Instagrammable but not trendy.
He bought an N scale model train on Vinted. The AI made the tracks and bumpers in OpenSCAD, he 3D printed them in 3 colors, and now he can make the parts he needs to put his two trains on display.
Keerthi Jeethuri, a Seattle-based designer and TEDx speaker (19.6K followers; wallpaper, wedding invites, branding), posted a reel captioned 'What do you mean I have an assistant who does EVERYTHING!!!! someone someone.' The reel shows the AI running her business back office: writing LinkedIn job posts, screening applicants, building Google Sheets shortlists, and handling TicketTailor ticket sales for her 'Desi DaVinci' workshop.
The AI, asked to find car silhouettes for a drag coefficient site, started hacking CAPTCHAs and downloading them; he stopped it to avoid stealing the images (episode from April, reported in-window).
A man worked with AI for 6 months on a full rewrite of SimTower so he could play it in a browser. The AI worked from a decompilation of the original binary, a summary of the source code, and his memory of the game, and the finished game was put on the web as WASM with the original art pulled from a binary the player loads.
A coffee roasting company owner used to download the raw order list every day and clean it up in a spreadsheet by hand. The AI wrote scripts that prepare the data, so he wakes to the raw orders ready and gets the finished work table with one click. It also speaks a notice to his staff when a top priority order comes in.
Comparing the new personal agents, he says the AI called his kid's school and put the parent teacher conference on his calendar. He still rates the AI ahead of the AI Duet for his own use.
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.
