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 ran AI on the task with 6 agents at a time, about 75 agents in total over about 6 days. They produced transcriptions of tens of millions of handwritten images and indexed them all.
The maker of a small game viewer tool had the AI play the game with scripted commands and write playtest reports. One report, from a manifest file the game loaded, documented a crash on exit, a bad default window size, dead inputs, and several rendering bugs.
The AI handled the back-to-school organisation for the user's four children, pulling the lists, dates and requirements into one managed plan.
A nightly coding agent works his backlog and never merges.
The AI interfaced with FPGA boards over USB, set up UART, created an on-chip logic analyzer, and troubleshot a synthesis problem to a workaround.
Commenting on the 26 use cases post, he says he uses AI to find and apply to jobs. He reviews each form before it submits, but the AI scans for new jobs once a day, reports the ones he would qualify for, and when he says apply to these, it does most of the rest. It remembers his preferences, like salary range. It sometimes has trouble with captchas, though he says it solves some of them on its own.
Seany (verified, 7.9M followers) spent a day exploring 'the coolest and most viral restaurants in LA' with his AI 'Locca' (a fox avatar). Locca suggested Baltaire in Brentwood for its viral tableside cinnamon-roll brunch; Seany booked Sunday Sep 13 at 10:30 AM through the app, visited, tried caviar for the first time, and called the cinnamon roll 'the greatest dessert I've EVER had.' Locca also picked lunch (Faregrounds, Beverly Hills) and dessert (ChocoDip LA, North Hollywood) spots he
Gave the AI sudo on his dev machine: it commits, pushes, checks pre-push test results, deploys as another user, checks smoke tests, and adjusts the Cloudflare pipeline and environment variables.
Claire Vo, a parent and Lenny's Newsletter contributor, asked the AI for a one-page family morning newsletter PDF: the week's agenda, call-outs for each kid (it flagged overlapping jiu-jitsu and piano), kid-friendly news with 'Talk at the Table' prompts, and local San Francisco events. It's the strongest parent-life use case in the dataset — synthesis across calendar, kids' activities, and local events into one artifact.
The AI reads analytics, Search Console and Partner Center twice a week and produces an actions report, plus a weekly strategy review that sets the next week's plan.
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.
