Level up how you use AI

Real things everyday people got it to do, and how to try them yourself.

Shuffle again

A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.

Score my real-estate leads every morning and draft the follow-ups in my voice

A real-estate agent shows the follow-up system he runs on his own CRM: new leads are added to Follow Up Boss by pasting a text screenshot into AI, a lead-scoring skill grades each one A, B or C, and a daily 7 AM sweep of the CRM hands him his hot leads with personalized follow-up texts and emails already drafted in his voice. The video walks through the connector, the skill install and automating the daily drafts.

My Dot runs my photo business day to day

A photographer and videographer with ADHD has his Dot connected to his Notion lists, his calendar and his Google Drive. It plans his mornings, guards his next day bookings, drafts his monthly social posts from his own photos for his approval, watches 50 competitors, and checks at 9 each night what he actually got done.

Book my flight from a photo of my credit card

An X user sent the AI a photo of their credit card and the bot completed the entire flight booking on a confusing airline website, returning a booking confirmation. Elon Musk replied publicly that SpaceX would make users whole if the AI ever made a purchase mistake or leaked card details.

WorkPartly worked

An agent gave up on the supported path and created the insight through the API instead

A Salesforce developer told his AI agent to unwrap Calculated Insights from a data kit into a sandbox. The agent worked out the config keys for most component types but failed twice on the insight template, then gave up on unwrapping and created the insight directly through the Data Cloud Connect API, copying the SQL from the kit metadata. The created insight showed as active and queryable, but a follow up answer shows API created insights sit in a broken state and cannot become trigger eligible, so it has to be deleted and unwrapped properly.

This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.

My agent watches my standby flights and tells my wife my chances on Messenger

His wife works for an airline, so he flies standby through an employee perks app that normal flight apps do not cover. He has the AI track every change. This weekend the AI caught his original flight at Y0, meaning no spare seat, so he switched flights and still made it to Vancouver. The AI checks more often as departure gets closer and only tells him when something changes, and it sends his wife short Messenger updates on his chances of getting on. His tally for the weekend: 2 flights boarded, 1 full flight avoided, 1 gate change caught, no app refreshing from him.

A general contractor built the construction platform his whole company runs on

He is a general contractor who could not find software that fit. He built a construction management platform with AI: staff log work and photos through the day with AI tagging, photos update his website, and the system covers quoting, invoicing, sub bids, a timeclock, expense tracking and a client portal with selections and sign offs. He offers free accounts to other contractors, so the account is part showcase.
