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 user built a custom the AI skill that remote-starts their car, reports EV battery level and monitors charging status from any chat. They published the skill because nobody else had made one for it.
Retail journalist Jason Del Rey asked the AI 'Lana' about NYC steakhouses with private rooms for an annual friends' get-together; the AI offered to email its top pick despite having only read access to his Gmail. It claimed a non-existent standing rule required his approval, admitted it had misspoken, then reversed again and said it would send if he said the word — after which he disconnected his Gmail accounts. His post of the exchange drew almost 95,000 views on X.
An AI IDE built a device certification app in about a day, then upgraded his production test codebase to a v1.0-ready state with automated configs, error handling and simulators over two weeks.
Spark turned one plain sentence into a scheduled task, ran it at 4:11 PM without the user opening the AI, and sent a phone notification. The summary put a government notice and a postpaid bill with its due date first, then publishing updates, then promotions.
Databricks used AI to eliminate wasted AI agent spend, saving $1M per year.
Reverse engineered his supermarket API and made a custom MCP to automate grocery shopping; now fills his cart through AI.
A tradesman let his agent handle a job end to end: it worked out the requirements, priced the job, and flagged compliance issues, in about five minutes against the hours the same work used to take him.
LeAura Luciano messaged her agent 'mini me' while traveling, asking for a workout plan fitting her travel schedule and available equipment. The AI produced Day 1 Upper / Day 2 Lower sessions with specific exercises (goblet squats, dumbbell RDLs, cable woodchoppers, incline treadmill walking), which she performed in the hotel gym.
Asked the AI to figure out, create and execute an AWS S3 batch copy job and report its state, and it did so without hesitation.
Andrew plays casual online chess against a friend he is dead even with, and was about to buy a Chess.com membership for unlimited game reviews. Instead he gave the AI his Chess.com account; it automatically pulls and reviews his game log every day, and the premium upsell lost its reason to exist.
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.
