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.
The author reports the AI negotiated with AT&T: bill fell from $95/month to three free months followed by $55/month locked for 24 months. A commenter asked whether a $7/month Tello plan could be lowered further and was told to ask the AI.
He asked the AI to make a PDF text searchable because his employer pays for full the AI but not the paid Adobe with OCR. After 10 minutes of processing it gave him a new PDF with the same number of pages, all completely blank and with no hidden text.
Used the AI to make a browser extension that redirects articles to their archived version, which he uses instead of resubscribing.
The AI in Antigravity attached GDB to the GPU driver, reverse-engineered the kernel queue ioctl interface, and authored an LD_PRELOAD shim that got ROCm llama.cpp working on his Strix Halo.
A testimonial graphic quotes someone: after asking the AI to negotiate their AT&T fiber bill ('I pay $80/m'), the agent got it lowered. Shared via someone as part of the #MuseMoneyChallenge wave.
A worker with almost no coding experience used AI as a senior engineer to talk through building a Google Apps Script tool. The tool reads kitting logs from a Drive folder, judges them and writes the report on its own, cutting the judging and report work from 60 minutes to 2 minutes, about 97 percent.
His Ubiquiti access points are full of firmware bugs. Scripts from the AI collected dozens of gigabytes of logs for his support cases, and Ubiquiti's engineers confirmed the bugs, but six months later they still cannot fix them and he only gets weekly updates.
He runs Home Assistant on an old PC and used AI to make a menu bar app for his Mac. A keyboard shortcut now sets his lights, though he says it may not work as well for homes with lots of different smart devices.
A dental worker had the AI run Blender on his own computer and write Python add-ons for his design work. It built a tool that turns a shell into a based model, one for basic aligners, an automated baseplate designer, and a custom impression tray designer. A fifth add-on, for copying dentures, did not come out as well.
He found a 24 chapter site on CAD history that would once have taken days of fiddling to convert by hand. Working with GPT for a couple of hours, he turned it into a clean offline EPUB for his phone, with linked footnotes and captioned illustrations.
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.
