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 screen-capture reel from someone (Irene, 'Smart American Life', 59 followers) shows a Chinese-language message documenting an AI negotiation with a retention rep named Kia: $1,440 total savings via a $20/month discount for 24 months, a $10/month autopay discount, 3 months of free internet, and a new rate of $45/month down from $75/month plus tax. Presented as a US life-hack with itemized terms.
Commenting on the 26 use cases post, he says he has the AI building dashboards from all his Samsung Health metrics. He has one for weight, BMI and body fat percentage, another for daily steps, a third for exercise, and a separate one with gas gauge style dials showing weight loss, daily steps, exercise minutes and activity calories burned. He shared screenshots.
Dan spent ten years building a tactics card game. He fed the rulebook to the AI and now it is a free to play app at Mercenarium.com, where people can play against bots or invite friends.
A dental worker had the AI run Blender on his own computer and write Python add-ons for his design work. It built a tool that turns a shell into a based model, one for basic aligners, an automated baseplate designer, and a custom impression tray designer. A fifth add-on, for copying dentures, did not come out as well.
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.
He debloated his Android TV and replaced Google Assistant with AI.
He is juggling several legal cases of his own, and his lawyers do not have time to answer him every day. The AI transcribes audio, organizes his evidence and writes the case summaries he hands to them. He calls it the best tool he has ever had, and says stopping would mean going back to doing all of that alone.
The AI modified a NYT-style web game in about 10 minutes to change the rules for his wife; she was delighted.
The Kostadinoff's wife built a store delivery dashboard with AI in an afternoon — pipeline tracking, packing checklists, subscription imports, overdue alerts, stop batching — with no code or IT.
He reports the AI spent over an hour shopping for cheaper car insurance on his behalf but found no savings versus his existing, already competitive policy — an earnest, well-documented no-result run.
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.
