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.
A Purdue professor built Docable, a working tool that turns PowerPoint, Word and PDF files into accessible versions for new disability rules. The AI and the AI helped him create a codebase of about half a million lines in a few months, and his talk explains the checking method he uses so agents can validate their own work.
A parent says the AI goes through his kids' Google Classroom and tracks their homework in every class: due dates, missing work and scores. It then sends the kids a daily email on how they are doing, with a daily plan to stay on top of their work.
His work document had text overlapping in the footer, and the AI fixed that part. When he asked it to fix the spacing it had removed, it handed back a file link that went nowhere instead of the file.
The AI audited the poet's 6,500 Threads posts against the master file for his collection and found 525 poems that had never made it into the file.
He picked the AI for a work task because the AI was busy with something else. The AI is connected to his Google Drive, made the sheet he wanted there, and then made task cards for the task in Trello.
Bybatee's AI agent 'squishy' sent 25 outreach emails to brands in her niche — with her metrics, portfolio, and media kit attached — and set automated follow-ups after 3 days for non-responses.
His wife works for an airline, so he flies standby through an employee perks app that normal flight apps do not cover. He has the AI track every change. This weekend the AI caught his original flight at Y0, meaning no spare seat, so he switched flights and still made it to Vancouver. The AI checks more often as departure gets closer and only tells him when something changes, and it sends his wife short Messenger updates on his chances of getting on. His tally for the weekend: 2 flights boarded, 1 full flight avoided, 1 gate change caught, no app refreshing from him.
Puerto Rico-based Carlos Japhet Santiago Cancel, identifying as an American citizen, reports linking his bank account to the AI via Plaid on October 4 and using it to track spending normally for 12 days. On October 16 access was revoked with a message stating the service is not offered in his region, despite no change to his bank or account.
In the same week as his treadmill buy, a SpaceX launch engineer says his AI got several quotes for new car tires, paid for them, and scheduled the install. No prices or shop names were shown.
Built an app with AI subagents in an afternoon that reads, maps and translates all 387 labels of an 1819 French map of the Bosphorus.
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.
