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.
Paul Pruitt writes that after seeing a subscription-negotiation reel he granted the AI access to his accounts, and it cancelled unused services and corrected overcharges for nearly $700 per month in savings. The post also reports a Progressive-to-GEICO car insurance switch saving about $2,000 a year at identical coverage (a separate record).
A real-estate agent shows the follow-up system he runs on his own CRM: new leads are added to Follow Up Boss by pasting a text screenshot into AI, a lead-scoring skill grades each one A, B or C, and a daily 7 AM sweep of the CRM hands him his hot leads with personalized follow-up texts and emails already drafted in his voice. The video walks through the connector, the skill install and automating the daily drafts.
Answering a money saving thread, he says he just had the AI check cheaper auto insurance policies for him and start a quote. On the new policy he will save $650 a year. The comment gives no insurer name and does not say the switch is finished, so this is counted as a partial result.
Asked an LLM to write Apache Arrow bindings for Lean; it knocked out perfectly sufficient bindings.
Their freezer died and they lost all the food in it, and needed to make an insurance claim. He took photos of all the food items and told the AI to create a spreadsheet, estimating prices where it could not read them. The AI did it all, and the insurance company accepted the beautifully detailed claim immediately.
A real estate broker said her AI assistant nurtured leads for months and booked showings on its own. She closed 4 deals with buyers she never spoke to until the showing.
The AI read a 12-page cancellation policy, found the 11:59pm cutoff, and moved the booking before the deadline passed. The original post carried a referral code.
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.
With the AI doing the grunt work he built a compiler for his own language that runs on Mac, Linux and Windows and cross-produces for those plus WASM, iOS, Android, Zynq, m68k and 6502, with a signed binary running on his phone.
Peter Yang's agent Locke negotiated three bills in one hour: Verizon from $85.48 to $70.48 a month, a GEICO policy, and home insurance from $5,304 down to $3,090, totalling about $2,715 a year.
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.
