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 small business owner runs a few AI bots that share one Google Drive knowledge base. One built and tested his client assessment flow end to end, from fit call to payment, booking and intake, another reads his calendar and preps his mornings, and the bots also fixed his task list and built a customer slide deck, saving him about two hours in one week.
He replaced Evernote with Apple Notes. The one thing in the way was his old document scanner, which would not scan straight into Notes, and the AI solved that problem fairly quickly.
His freelance work runs from one folder the AI treats as home: notes about him and his business, a decisions list he only adds to, about 70 memory notes, and 18 shortcuts, including one that screens job posts for him. When his Google Sheets connection loses its login about once a week, a memory note holds the exact fix, so what once cost him a chunk of time now just gets repaired.
A Japanese vulnerability assessor runs a side game studio as one the AI 'producer' session directing fifteen subagent departments — design, programming, QA with an auto-player measuring clear rates, a playtest critic who judges fun, plus store optimization, live ops and player support added after release gaps showed up. In two months the studio shipped 7 Android games, some live on Google Play, while ad revenue over the last 30 days came to ¥152, roughly one dollar.
John Merphy made $600 selling two short client research reports: The AI compiled the research, compared sources and formatted the docs; he reviewed and delivered. Part of $1,150 total that month.
Fed the Windows Remote Desktop binary to the AI, which patched two decade-old bugs (NOPs and a stack offset fix); the fix worked.
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.
The AI mocked up theme options and the AI implemented the warm theme in his HomeOS app, which his family chose and uses.
He uses AI Desktop as his social media manager and mailing list manager. Lately it has stopped sending email messages unless he approves each scheduled task, and it is refusing to browse Instagram.
Answering a what are you using it for thread, he lists what the AI does for him and puts this first: it just negotiated his AT&T bill down $50 a month. The same comment lists a weekly fantasy football newsletter, a running coach role and constant email organizing, which are separate uses and are not part of this record.
