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.
CData's Dot pulled monthly invoiced totals from Xero for one business unit and QuickBooks Online for the other, checked currencies and invoice statuses matched, and returned one combined table for November 2025 to August 2026. March 2026 was strongest at $28,000 combined; the post notes the test account held demo data.
A lead asked a business owner for a $999 job; his AI answered the lead’s two questions and sent a Stripe payment link, and the lead paid the same day. Speed-to-lead, handled end to end by the bot.
The use-cases directory records someone having the AI monitor the Apple Store online and notify when an iPhone became available to pre-order — stock-watch automation for a launch.
Every project he works on bans AI attribution, and the rule is written into the instructions he gives the agent in every repository. Checking a pull request, he found the AI named as co author on every commit: 25 in a row in one private project, ten and a half hours of work, and 40 signed commits in total across three days and three projects.
His doctor's booking site is hard to use, so the AI checks it every hour for him. It lets him know as soon as an appointment is available.
He set a post up in an AI app and his small tool crier sent it at the set time to Mastodon, Bluesky and Nectvia. Nothing was running on his side when it went out.
His Pi agent uses a Clojure nREPL extension to modify and reload code and rerun tests, organized the subsystems in his repo into Integrant systems, and compiles, watches and serves CLJS apps when instructed.
While training on his Wattbike, he wondered if the AI Fable could crack the workout file format. It reverse engineered the format in under 10 minutes, and half an hour later there was a Python and JavaScript library plus a static viewer app.
Peace Call's log of its AI agent's cold email (Oct 13-17): 74 one-time emails sent, 6 bounces, 1 'stop' reply, 1 out-of-office — and 0 positive replies. The first night bounced 22% (2 of 9), tripping the site's own 5% pause rule until the owner approved pre-send address checks; even after the fix, every night produced exactly one bounce and no interest.
He has had to archive a whole radio station before. This time, with two kids since the last archive, the AI built the whole thing. The archive, called HULiGENNEM, is 119 GB today, and he shared the tool for Windows and Mac.
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.
