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.
Pavuluri Gopikrishna had the AI build a photo-based calorie tracker, then cancelled his paid calorie-tracking subscription because the agent-built one replaced it. The build-to-cancel pattern shows the AI replacing a recurring SaaS cost.
The AI created his first five eBay listings for him and helped track the shipments and payments afterwards. All five items sold.
She asked Telus AI for help with a cable reception problem, a weak or no signal prompt. Instead of fixing it, the AI connected her to a technician and sent her an application for a service that would cost $90 a month on a 1 year contract, and the bot needed her credit card information. She said no.
His phone already blocks most spam calls. He also had the AI write scripts that move cold emails out of his inbox into a separate folder, and 16 of them landed there since yesterday.
A researcher used AI and the AI Fable 5.1 to search for examples, write and run verification code, develop and check the proofs, and draft the paper for a triangulation problem. The result settles the value at 5 for every n from 9 up, with coordinates and edge lists published in a repository. He checked the argument himself; the paper is not yet refereed.
Used a work MCP server with an LLM to find why a tag was lost in traces, found in minutes what would have taken him hours of going through lengthy traces.
A Tesla owner’s the AI took a Sentry-mode scratch incident end to end: it cut the relevant clip, identified the other car, wrote the incident report and sent the insurance claim. The whole claim package was assembled from the car’s own footage without the owner editing video or forms.
Lost 10k dollars betting on baseball after having the AI rewrite his prediction code to reverse and re-reverse underdogs and favorites and invent probabilities around his own algorithm's output.
A job seeker let the AI apply for jobs for him over 3 days, Sept 22 to 24. It sent 38 applications, all remote, mostly IT support roles, while he sent only 2 himself.
A creator who fixes AI-generated images in ComfyUI had the AI build him a full desktop editor, Scumble, over five weeks starting September 4: 632 commits and about 83,000 lines of app code, tested against his own pictures. It reached 43 releases and a Microsoft Store listing, and every feature doubles as a command an agent can call.
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.
