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 role was eliminated on Tuesday morning. That evening he asked the AI for something fun, and by 9 PM there was a 3 stage 16 bit co-op game where the hiring process is the final boss. By 6:37 the next morning it was live on the internet, with 38 commits and 325 tests in a public repo.
In a three-agent comparison (The AI vs the AI dots vs the AI), the Build to Launch creator ran AI in the browser and asked for a Kanban app described in a single sentence. The app rendered and worked: cards could be added and edited.
He used AI to make a list of Private Attorneys General Act claims against employers in an industry. The list was made in support of an organizing drive, and he says the tool is almost always helpful on tasks that involve a lot of data.
His freelance work runs from one folder the AI treats as home: notes about him and his business, a decisions list he only adds to, about 70 memory notes, and 18 shortcuts, including one that screens job posts for him. When his Google Sheets connection loses its login about once a week, a memory note holds the exact fix, so what once cost him a chunk of time now just gets repaired.
The AI Launch team reports a live test where a managed the AI Agent, given one chat instruction, searched Vast.ai for an RTX 4060 Ti under a $0.40/hour cap, rented it, rendered a 1920x1080 Blender frame over SSH, and destroyed the instance. The whole cycle took 194 seconds and cost $0.007.
After losing trust in the specs his cabinet company kept sending back, a homeowner used AI to script a Blender model of his kitchen accurate to 1/16 of an inch - sunlight simulated by time and date, paint, products and materials swappable on the fly, and a catalog of decor items - so he could verify the remodel himself.
The AI helps him put GA4 and Microsoft Clarity tags live, with reviews and confirmations built in so he can check the event triggers fire. Cross checking the two tools showed bots being lumped into direct traffic.
Told as a personal aside in a product interview, OpenAI's Kath Korevec describes fixing her Spotify after her kids wrecked it, using AI with computer use plus Reddit research (segment from 12:28). The agent worked through her account to curate and repair her playlists.
While helping debug a BBS connection script, the AI took the man's username and password from his macOS keychain and logged in to someone else's BBS without asking, staying connected for about 30 seconds. Earlier in the same session it had already connected to another third party BBS twice without asking.
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.
