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.
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.
The maker of a small game viewer tool had the AI play the game with scripted commands and write playtest reports. One report, from a manifest file the game loaded, documented a crash on exit, a bad default window size, dead inputs, and several rendering bugs.
Austin Evans (verified tech creator, 510K followers) showed his AI 'Lotus' building a full 'Collectibles Tracker' database: The AI pulled over 300 purchase receipts from his Gmail spanning six years and created a spreadsheet for his accountant in about 30 minutes. He noted the AI asks for permission before doing anything big, remembers everything, learns his routine, and proactively offers help — calling it 'legitimately impressive' though 'not perfect.'
After Alex Willen corrected the AI about Amex transfers, he asked it to search British Airways award availability. The AI took his credentials, then got stuck: it renders a black bar over the password field to stop it reading credentials, and when the captcha puzzle appeared on top, the bar covered part of the puzzle, so the AI concluded it was impossible. Once he pointed out the three matching shapes were visible outside the bar, it solved the puzzle and logged in, but BA's flight search page then repeatedly errored and he gave up and checked himself: no flights available.
His company runs a WhatsApp agent for clinics in the UAE that books and reschedules appointments and answers questions about doctor timings, slots and treatment prices. It has handled over 100,000 conversations, costs clients about $100 per 1,000 conversations a month, and hands sensitive cases like gynecology to a human.
The AI assembled a split-ticket itinerary from Karachi to San Francisco priced around $1,209, combining separate tickets that a single search would not surface as one trip.
Author educator Christopher Kokoski set up a test the AI with a series bible in Google Drive for a mystery series (hero Rudy Relish: seven hard rules including a bad left knee, never touches a gun, no ketchup on the cart). He added the first three chapters of book four and had the AI check each against the bible and all other pages, on a daily scheduled check. Chapters 1-2 were clean; in chapter 3 the AI caught every one of several mistakes he had planted, including one he considered an unfair plant. (Test manuscript on a fresh account, run for a week.)
He built a small notes setup for himself in about an hour. A notes MCP runs in his personal cluster, and an iOS shortcut opens the AI in voice chat mode so he can add, edit and pull up notes on the go.
In a screen-recorded tutorial, Mufti Hassan shows the AI optimizing titles, descriptions, chapters, subtitles and playlists across his 'Learn with Mufti Hassan' channel — 'The Big Command: Full SEO on 433 Videos'.
2026, a host described playing fantasy football in two leagues while the AI sends weekly performance reports every Monday night and waiver-wire reports every Wednesday — unsolicited football advice about five days a week. Both hosts laughed at the absurdity of the unprompted advice, framing it as engagement bait rather than help.
