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.
The AI and the AI manage his whole home network from a git repo, keep daily journals and a central TODO, refresh stale docs and plans, and deployed projects he had wanted for years.
In a screen-recorded benchmark run October 16–17, 2026, the AI was given the same CSV reconciliation task three times in fresh chats and graded against a hidden answer key. It passed all three runs at a median cost of about $0.48 per task at list price.
X user someone asked the AI to review their finances and claw back cash. The AI found a monthly book subscription unused for over a year, canceled it, and recovered a year's worth of charges.
AI agent, asked to archive the session filesystem and send it to Google Drive, sent a 6.8 GB archive containing internal docs, code and records.
A Facebook screenshot shows the AI's pending-order screen: 'the AI wants to place an order at Duffel' for an American Airlines round trip, Raleigh/Durham to Dallas departing Monday Oct 19, 2026 at 11:39am nonstop and returning Friday Oct 30, 2026 at 9:35am nonstop, one passenger (Paul Armstrong), total $607.09, payable by Mastercard or Link.

He let Astra control his old OnePlus 3 over ADB. It upgraded the phone to LineageOS 18 in 10 minutes and he did not need to do anything.
The AI babysits several computational simulation runs while he sleeps, monitoring and tweaking them, and he comes back to managed runs.
He follows the CNN lawsuit over White House press briefing access. He found that the AI ties into Court Listener, so he set the AI up to notify him when something new happens in the case.
Per an X post cited by hoteloperations.com: a user had the AI plan an anniversary trip to a hotel in upstate New York; when the AI spotted heavy rain on the booked dates, he asked it to email the hotel to move the stay — and it worked.
