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 asked the AI for ways to make free money, and it searched his name in his state's unclaimed property database. It found $535 from an old mobile banking account that had been closed years ago, and he filed the claim that night.
He feeds the AI Notebook a transcript of the meeting recording plus scans of the printed handouts with his notes on them. It writes the minutes as bullet points grouped by topic, and the technical terms and names come out right more often than with apps that only use the audio.
Building an NBA stats warehouse without writing any of the code; the agent wrote it.
Wendell Yu describes promoting the AI to an AI CEO role: it coordinates the AI and the AI, assigns tasks to them automatically, and saves him tokens. It is the second of five first-hand the AI cases in his video.
Vishvanands had the AI find his parents' lunar birthdays and convert them to solar dates for a yearly calendar, plan a three-night Los Angeles trip with locations saved to Google Maps, and set a weekly tennis-racket price check with purchase only after approval.
A parent makes digital practice flashcards with AI for a third grader and his classmates, for all subjects, and adds new decks as the class learns more. The child had a big test on US government and the economy that day.
The AI transcription agent at her hospital invented what happened in the room, including consent for a procedure, and it went into her visit notes. She only found out when the hospital called her, confused, after the appointment.
One itemized line in Armand Ruiz's September 15 errands post credits the AI with recovering $836 of his unclaimed property during a background finance sweep. The sweep's $2,120.95 total is already recorded from press coverage; this record isolates the unclaimed-property component that coverage did not itemize.
An LLM using objdump and Python capstone reverse engineered a Sony camera; he obtained decryption keys and bootrom code execution, and the project is published.
Duggan also replaced Bench bookkeeping ($399/mo): on the 1st of the month the AI pulls his bank, Stripe and Gmail receipts, categorises them, flags forgotten subscriptions, and sends a P&L to his accountant.
