Level up how you use AI
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.
He keeps his photography tool alive with an AI harness and dropped his Adobe subscription
Built and maintains a photography workflow tool with an AI coding harness and discontinued his Adobe subscription.
We let an agent run our blog. It made up tests that never happened.
They let an AI agent on the AI run their whole blog. 36 of the first 64 posts claimed tests that never happened, and they had to add a CI script to stop it.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
A semester of lectures turned into an hour long animated recap video
He downloads all his lecture slides and feeds them into NotebookLM for an audio overview. A pipeline then transcribes the audio, has the AI write a timed spec, uses AI Design for the animations and the AI for the filler content, then renders and stitches everything into an hour long recap of the whole semester.
The AI made me games on demand for a cross country flight
On a cross country flight he asked the AI to make games for him on the spot. One kept him playing for 5 hours, and all of them worked on his phone.
The AI checks my email every morning and flags what needs doing
He forwards all his Outlook mail to Gmail so the AI can use the Gmail connector. Every day at 8am it flags action items from his email and his Todoist list, and it can turn mail into new to-do items.
After Indeed laid off his wife, he built a job service that now applies for people inside an AI app
A builder whose wife was laid off by Indeed built a job search platform with AI, then a connector that brings it inside an AI app: search about 15,000 new jobs a day for free, drop in a resume for matches and tailored versions, and have the service submit applications on employers' own sites once the user approves. It launched the week before his October 14 post and already has 450 users with 75 active daily; paid users on autopilot are seeing 83 interviews per 100 subscribers.
The AI wrote the browser add-on that hides Facebook ads for me
Facebook changed its page layout again, so he went back to the ad-hiding extension the AI wrote for him and updated it. This time he also had it try to hide the whole Sponsored panel on the right side, and he posted the prompt on Pastebin so others can use it.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
One founder runs his whole company through AI sessions
He is the sole founder of BlueVeta, where a customer uploads one product photo and gets back a full marketing campaign for 20 platforms. Every part of the company runs as its own AI session, the sessions message each other and share docs, and nothing is built, deployed or spent without his OK first. The company has real paying customers through Stripe, and the AI does about 75 percent of the work in each customer pack.
Catch a $244 duplicate hotel charge and draft the dispute email
Posting in an AI Facebook group, Joshua Moore reported that the AI caught a $244 duplicate charge on his hotel stay (two identical charges for the same night), drafted the dispute email, and he sent it himself; the hotel processed the refund. His words: "$244 back in my pocket."
$244one time
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.
