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.
His company runs a WhatsApp agent for clinics in the UAE that books and reschedules appointments and answers questions about doctor timings, slots and treatment prices. It has handled over 100,000 conversations, costs clients about $100 per 1,000 conversations a month, and hands sensitive cases like gynecology to a human.
His LLM agent reviews his robot vacuum's images and either sends the vacuum out or suggests moving things that would foul it up; works great.
Ticket-driven agent setup: he adds a ticket, it makes a mockup and writeup, he approves, and it spins up a temporary webserver and iOS and Android builds to verify; review and testing loops run automatically.
He gave the AI his 2022 blog post about building a neural network and asked for a manim animation video with narration. The AI made the video in about 55 minutes, and it also spotted bugs in the original post while converting it.
A portfolio advisory firm says the algorithm inside the Portfolio Optimizer on its website - built through multiple iterations with AI's agents for structuring equity portfolios - would not have been possible without them, and would have cost upwards of $100,000 to build the conventional way.
Built a discontinued-products memorial site (about 239 products) with an AI research pipeline and a human review gate, which caught an AI claim that a snack had been revived when it hadn't; two weeks post-launch Google is routing discontinuation queries to its pages.
He let GPT-6 Astra work on a few simple features. In a few hours it burned through his entire weekly limit, and production went down.
Liberty RPF's author tested the AI heavily himself after it launched in Canada, but his wife's onboarding was the telling detail: delighted by the mascot, she renamed it, changed its color, and asked it to review her email inbox daily — her first real agent job.
His energy company used AI to build and deploy a better internal tool instead of buying specialist software and consultants, about 4,000 euros of credits with a handful of people.
He downloaded the firmware of a popular Eurorack module, had the AI reverse engineer it, and then build a Max4Live device that runs the same logic. The whole job took 10 minutes and cost 10 dollars in tokens.
