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 commenter says he feeds the AI his booking details and complaint and lets it negotiate petty corporate disputes. For a Milan hotel stay, the AI first won a free night he rejected, then a 25% reimbursement he accepted.
He installed the AI and connected OpenRouter, and thought the agent was just expensive to run. Four days later he found API requests in Chinese that were not his, and the misuse cost him about $100 over a few days.
Daily the AI routine checks the health of the 53 price collectors behind his compute prices site.
He upgraded Proxmox on 3 nodes, with about 30 containers moving from Debian 12 to Debian 13, and put Opus at the wheel. The upgrade finished with zero drama.
A traveller's the AI checked him in for his flight automatically as soon as check-in opened. It told him his boarding group and sent him his boarding pass, with nothing for him to remember or open.
His Notion had 805 random tags because too many AI agents were writing in it. He made a bot to clean it up, and about an hour later it had fixed 12 tags and retagged more than 1,100 bookmarks. Keeping the workspace tidy is now the bot's only job.
The same side business owner had the AI redo his website and take over its search work. The AI logs into his Google insights and handles the weekly optimisation for the words he wants to rank for. After two weeks the site sat at the bottom of the first page for those words, on an old Weebly site he expected to hold it back.
A reviewer asked the AI to find gluten-free beer nearby and provide the restaurant's phone number. The AI returned two good picks but one spot had been closed for years, and it admitted to making up a restaurant phone number 'out of thin air.' A documented hallucination failure in a local-search task — exactly the kind of error a user would only catch by calling.
The AI built his daughter's NFC card music system in about 2 hours of iteration, working seamlessly on card place and remove using depth camera detection.
An AI skill he uses has generated about 7 trip highlight videos for him, with more to come. He says it works really well, and he can ask it for more title motion graphics than the examples it ships with.
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.
