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 Genworth alternatives analyst built a SharePoint-based credit surveillance agent in an AI app Studio. It reviews more than 1,000 documents across 250-plus fund investments and surfaces trends, risks and upside from completed deep reviews.
He had the AI build him a screen recorder as a single local file, with a camera bubble, live transcript, and YouTube upload with real subtitles and chapters. He built it because he wanted to stop paying for Loom.
Yair Savlevi asked the AI to watch a booked United fare and get a credit if the price dropped. The AI secured $1,000 in credit.
School news for his two kids comes through six Facebook groups as well as email. The AI watches all of them, asks him which events he wants to track, spots clashes like a field trip on the same day as a dentist appointment, and keeps his calendar updated, and it also pulls the Scouts dates together and, before a camping weekend at two different spots, told him the weather at each one and what the boys should pack to stay warm.
He runs a B2B cold outreach agency at $58,500 a month in recurring revenue. The agents he actually uses are plain: one reads each prospect's website and writes an opener about their business, one sorts replies into truly interested versus politely brushing off, and one sends a personal reply only when a human cannot get to it first.
A man says the AI finished a hardware project he had started, working across three areas at once. The AI finished the firmware in Rust, changed some board parts and finalised the board design, sourced the parts that do not come with the board, and wrote all the documentation for the installer, and he judges the result good enough.
He sends his RingConn 3 wearable data to his AI email address. It sends back a dashboard and tips to improve his health.
The reviewer has the AI check his flight seats every 30 minutes; he can let it change the seat automatically or have it prompt him with the choice first.
Arbisoft says its team used to check more than 2,000 receipts by hand. Now an AI agent flags what can be claimed on its own. The company says review time fell 56 percent and the change saves more than 800 hours a year.
In the same roundup, another user's Dot went through a live chat to cancel an in-flight wifi subscription and obtained a refund. No amount or provider is named in the account.
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.
