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.
Alex (AI investor) saw his AT&T promo expire and his bill rise to $95.28. He used AI to negotiate, dodged upsell traps during the chat, and landed $90/month flat — about $63/year saved in under 30 minutes.
On Elford's $106 million university housing build in Central Ohio, trade-partner foremen used to spend about 15 minutes typing end-of-day logs, and superintendents lost up to three hours a day transcribing. Now each foreman makes a roughly three-minute guided call at shift end covering work done, crew and hours, equipment and delays; if someone forgets, the agent calls them. Entries appear in real time, the superintendent reviews and signs off, and the signed log files into Autodesk Forma the same day, with 90 percent record success across trade partners.
In 'A Month with AI', the MBI Deep Dives author writes that the AI filled out forms with five auto insurance carriers from his details and showed him quotes; switching at the same coverage saved $1,530 per year. He then set the AI to repeat the shop every five months, ahead of each six-month renewal, indefinitely.
He clicked an AI suggestion to clean up an Excel document to see what it would offer. Excel crashed at once, and his unsaved documents could not be recovered.
She asked the AI if it could cancel her Mint Mobile account. The company's chat agent had told her she needed to call in. She gave the AI her Mint details, the AI opened its own chat with the company and got the cancellation done, with no phone call and no talking to people herself.
Used the AI to solve dozens of annoyances around the house and life and to develop two work apps, one a complete polished interactive web app he says he could not have completed alone.
His AI watches prices on things he has bought. It flagged that two $67 Jos. A. Bank shirts from a recent order had dropped to $39.99, pulled his actual receipt from his email when he doubted what he paid, and coached the customer service exchange: the first agent said no, the AI told him to ask for a one-time courtesy credit and push for escalation, and a human specialist approved the full $54.02. Alert to refund took about half an hour.
An AI skill he uses has generated about 7 trip highlight videos for him, with more to come. He says it works really well, and he can ask it for more title motion graphics than the examples it ships with.
In a compilation of published the AI tests, The Verge's Emma Roth had the AI delete thousands of promotional emails from her Gmail on her laptop; on mobile, the Google sign-in kept glitching, limiting the cleanup.
The AI in Antigravity attached GDB to the GPU driver, reverse-engineered the kernel queue ioctl interface, and authored an LD_PRELOAD shim that got ROCm llama.cpp working on his Strix Halo.
