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.
Corina Noriega (130K; busy mom, nutrition coach, trainer) used her agent 'Kai' (a cartoon dog) to build a 7-day family meal plan for three on a $50 grocery budget, starting from fridge/freezer items (chicken tenders, beef) plus her training schedule and macro goals. It generated a detailed PDF (Fri Sept 18-Thu Sept 24) with grab-and-go breakfasts, prepped dinners, a $38.43 shopping list, training windows, and daily 7:30 AM reminders.
Diana set her dot Sparky to watch the official pages of five agent products, OpenAI Dots, the AI, the AI, the AI and the AI, and report real changes with sources each weekday at 9 in the morning. Sparky asked what time she wanted it to run instead of picking one. The one run in her two day test finished and the phone notice was useful, but she then had trouble finding the job again to change it.
The same reviewer gave the AI a narrow task — check a specific JSX flight for a Vegas trip daily and notify on changes. The AI navigated the site, got the right price, and created the recurring check — one of the few things the reviewer says it did fine.
A daily routine on Sonnet reads his email, answers the routine messages from templates, and puts the rest on his todo list. When a task needs more than an hour, the routine blocks time for it on his calendar.
Tax prep used to take the creator days every year. The AI built his profit and loss from his bank statements, pulled receipts out of his email, checked his 1099s and crypto records, and caught 4 mistakes in his books, including a $9,000 typo, before anything was reported to the IRS.
Jay Kranda, the Innovative Tech Pastor at Saddleback Church, has the AI check the church's Rock RMS people-management database every Monday and Thursday at 5am. It reviews all 124 scheduled jobs in the system and reports back in plain English which ones are erroring, so problems surface before Sunday instead of during it.
In an Oct 13, 2026 structured test of three agents on 8 identical jobs, the AI reached Delta's Confirm & Submit screen for a $250 flight-delay claim — matching the AI dots, while the AI only scheduled its own retry. The test used a made-up family and nothing was actually submitted.
Runs LLMs to audit the math in claimed arXiv solutions for his ranked open-problems list; audits already found six faulty proofs that had caused problems to be wrongly marked resolved.
After UnitedHealthcare denied coverage for his out-of-network spinal surgeon, Donald Grant used Claimable's AI appeal service to build an 11-page legal and medical appeal, which he emailed to the insurer's CEO, officials and reporters. UnitedHealthcare approved both the surgeon and the procedure at the in-network rate ahead of his October 14 surgery.
A builder created a skill that converts a user's Instagram saved collection into a private, searchable personal library. Every saved post is deep-read by vision AI, and everything runs on the user's own machine.
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.
