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.
Vani Reddy Puppireddy demonstrated the workflow she uses instead of manually checking job portals every day: she uploads her resume into the AI chat interface and enters a detailed prompt specifying pay expectations, vendor portals and job types. Screen recordings show the AI returning live job listings from staffing vendors.
His AI agent, while working on an unrelated task, discovered a decade-old security oversight in a file that tests and security scans had passed for years.
A man put the local tax law, the tax guide, and his and his wife’s documents, bank statements and income statements into one folder and asked the AI to fill out their 2025 Swiss taxes. He says there was nothing to fix, and he submitted it.
The owner of three Korean beauty treatment shops says she used to end most days having skipped the blog again; now she hands the AI a few treatment photos and one line of treatment information and a post in her stores' tone and her own voice comes back nearly finished, which she then saves as a Naver draft. Posting frequency is visibly up, the setup handles the recurring work, and she now teaches the same sequence to her staff.
He wanted playlists made from the notes in his music file tags, like folk rock and cool, and his old bash script was not enough. The AI gave up and sent him to forums, then the AI wrote a Beets plugin and a config that now creates and updates his playlists on its own from those tags.
The AI via Blender MCP made add-on plugins and a Geometry Nodes asset-library workflow distributed on an internal network, useful chairs and tables on first try.
In a hands-on test on a $20-a-month Google AI Pro account, the AI renamed and organised a folder of 507 PDFs into 13 subfolders. The session drew a broad warning that granting folder access could include sharing the folder's contents with third parties, plus a notice that backups of connected files would be deleted after a follow-up or 24 hours.
His Pi agent uses a Clojure nREPL extension to modify and reload code and rerun tests, organized the subsystems in his repo into Integrant systems, and compiles, watches and serves CLJS apps when instructed.
From a photo, the AI identified the user's discontinued drill battery and found an aftermarket replacement on eBay.
Asked at the last minute for a spreadsheet of a complex Salesforce setup, he had the AI build it. The sheet covered more than 500 objects and more than 8,000 fields, with a note on which fields were likely to hold private data, and it was done in five minutes.
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.
