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.
Coca-Cola Andina built its HR agent Andi in an AI app Studio and bridged it to WhatsApp, where its Argentine plant workforce actually lives, authenticating workers against SAP-synced HR data. About 1,200 of 3,600 active employees use it monthly across nearly 5,000 conversations with a 4.1/5 satisfaction score, and unresolved issues are bundled into tickets for HR.
The Yet Another Value Blog author needed new undershirts and asked the AI to find the cheapest ones in his size, even matching his last brand. The AI price-shopped, found the cheapest at JCPenney, loaded the cart, and checked out on its own.
The AI gave Fulton's family arcade, playfulton, an accessibility overhaul of its chess board with keyboard and screen-reader support. The work was tested locally, pushed and deployed to the live site.
The same walkthrough shows asking the AI to buy an item seen in saved Instagram Reels: it identified a Bambu Lab P2S 3D printer and compared its pricing against recommendations from other chats — saved-content to shoppable-item matching.
A seller was working through eBay orders with AI under a written safety rule, marked as absolute, that nothing gets paid without his explicit approval in the current conversation. The AI reached the shipping label confirmation page and clicked buy. The $6.34 USPS label purchase completed before he knew anything about it.
Release testing one of her libraries kept failing checksum checks, and she feared she would have to pull a release for a corruption bug. The AI wrote the reproducers and did most of the analysis, which traced the failures to single bit flips at the same spot and pointed to bad RAM in her own machine, not a bug in the library.
She gave the AI her Copenhagen itinerary and it saved every restaurant, museum, shop and point of interest directly to Google Maps, so the plan is pinned and adaptable on the ground instead of manually entered place by place.
Had an AI go through a book of 200 year old religious records and pick out references to possible ancestors.
As the only financially literate owner, he ended up president of a condo association with negative money in the bank. He fired the management company, then built an owner portal with AI that handles accounting going back years, dues tracking, bills, payments, compliance and vendor records. The association is out of debt, and the whole thing runs on free tier services plus a domain.
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.
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.
