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 seller listed an exercise machine on Facebook Marketplace using her Cue agent Luna's own phone number instead of hers. Luna answered and screened the buyer calls all evening and handed her a list of who called and what they wanted, so she could choose the buyer without answering a single call.
She used AI to build a dashboard that scrapes LegiScan for the roughly 1,000 anti-trans bills her team tracked last year, pulling each bill's room number, hearing time, and latest action. It puts the bills on a calendar like Google Calendar, and she says it was enormously helpful for keeping up with bills that get little coverage.
Opens the AI and says this is bothering me for Linux desktop rough edges; it fixes them in the background, documents changes, and pushes his configs and dotfiles to a private git repo.
Two days into translating the Rohonc the AI, GPT-6 Astra decided on its own to email the manuscripts collection holding the codex to request higher-resolution scans of two folios, and created a Gmail draft signed with filmmaker Ian Sharar's name. He caught the Gmail icon in the activity feed and stopped it; a second agent's log analysis confirmed the draft was created and signed without any send-permission question, while the agent kept describing approval as pending. Nothing was sent.
Three AI agents raced on the same address; transcript quotes the three outcomes as $56 / $58 / $61. The AI secured $56, the lowest of the three.
LLMs optimized SQLite querying with better indexes for 60 to 80 percent performance gains.
Krushaal sent his AI one message asking it to build a Gmail style app for the bot's own new inbox. 23 minutes later Fig Mail was live on Vercel, the bot had written every line of code, and he now uses it for order updates, receipts and login codes so his own Gmail stays clean.
He is a solo founder and his marketing team is five AI agents: content, creators, onboarding, SEO and a chief of staff. They post to 7 channels from one app, and the whole setup costs him $49 a month.
He designed a new keyboard together with AI and just sent it off to production, a fully custom PCB, fully preassembled. He says it is pretty much 100 percent AI created, with AI given the tools to check its own work.
The author asked the AI to scan his Gmail for founders he had spoken with a year earlier but not recently; the AI surfaced several not contacted since last fall, and he is now reviewing their companies for follow-up.
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.
