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.
Joseph Devoy uploaded his Liberty Mutual policy ($5,183/yr) and the AI switched him to Progressive at about $1,488/yr, buying the new policy and cancelling the old one in roughly five minutes. The switch saves him about $3,500 a year.
A creator built a free browser-based video editor with AI for his own clip work after tiring of heavy desktop editors. It finds loops, trims, and exports using in-browser FFmpeg.
Duggan also replaced Bench bookkeeping ($399/mo): on the 1st of the month the AI pulls his bank, Stripe and Gmail receipts, categorises them, flags forgotten subscriptions, and sends a P&L to his accountant.
Threads user adambader reported saving $600 by having the AI monitor already-booked flights and hotels for lower prices — distinct from the Reddit price-drop rows in the earlier scans.
The AI completed and filed the user's resident tax report through Korea's HomeTax system.
He set the AI to check OpenTable every 10 minutes for a restaurant table for 3, using the OpenTable connector to keep token use down. When a slot opened in the morning for the next day, it booked it immediately. He got no confirmation in the chat, but found the booking confirmed in his OpenTable account. The watch used 1.48 million tokens in total.
When a restaurant booking of the writer's was canceled, his dot found him alternative tables on its own initiative, part of a few days of proactive schedule and logistics management after he connected it to his Google account.
He gets 215 GitHub notifications a day, so he built a bot to triage them.
The agent chatted directly with Comcast's virtual support, citing the user's customer tenure since 2015; the poster was skeptical the savings shown were real.
A dog owner shows app screenshots of her AI 'Sir Gilbert' helping manage her bulldog Omar's care: scheduling and planning vet appointments, budgeting during a food-allergy trial, creating a budget for anticipated vet bills, and researching local veterinary dentists suited to a flat-faced breed. She frames it as offloading the scheduling, budgeting and service-finding so she can focus on her dog and baby.
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.
