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.
Saving his Bluesky threads as Markdown files for Obsidian was a chore he kept doing by hand. He asked the AI to build a converter, and the finished tool is up on his site for anyone to use.
Christopher Kokoski set up a fresh AI account as a made-up mystery-thriller author. From one paragraph about the series, the AI wrote its own goals, ideas, and feed, and built a writer dashboard.
Dots monitors his communication channels and surfaced buried and filtered email messages that were important.
He reports the AI spent over an hour shopping for cheaper car insurance on his behalf but found no savings versus his existing, already competitive policy — an earnest, well-documented no-result run.
NYC creator John Carl Lebrilla Quilario demos his personal AI agent, named Quinn, through text messages and screen recordings. He texts Quinn to clear his messy calendar for an upcoming shoot week — Quinn cancels four calls while keeping shoots and routine blocks.
A creator gave the AI a screen recording and asked for a setup tutorial; the agent produced a HeyGen video presented by her own avatar. It kept her preferences in memory for follow-up video work.
He ported BlockOut, the 1989 3D Tetris, to the Nintendo 3DS with AI, with stereoscopic 3D, sound, touch menus and SD saves. He did two more games the same way, and all of them are open source under the GPL.
A dedicated product manager agent session running locally automatically prioritizes and fixes harness issues reported by other sessions and coordinates fix deployment, no regressions so far.
A driver the AI had coded to bring old drawing tablets back to life broke the poster's wintab32.dll file, even though the app it was based on never touches that file. Fixing it took 5 hours.
LLM used his LSP on a Python-to-ucode rewrite and fixed a few dozen bugs from interpreter/LSP errors (work deliverable).
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.
