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.
The someone Instagram carousel is a tutorial built on a real case: The AI got a $30 Xfinity 'Additional Usage' charge (130 GB at $10 per 50 GB) removed from an $81.50 itemized bill. Screenshots show the original bill and the reduced $50.86 balance after the courtesy credit.
He needed his designs as 3D files he could print. The AI created the renders in Blender via MCP, then optimized the files for his printer.
His free French teaching site Ralentir travaux, used by millions of visitors, had been more or less abandoned because its old code ran to thousands of pages. Over about six months the AI and the AI cleaned, fixed and modernised the code and added new tools, and the rebuilt site relaunched for its 20th anniversary.
Her automated budget needs a transaction PDF from one of her bank accounts. Instead of giving the AI open browser access, she let it run one fixed program that makes the exact clicks to download the PDF, so it cannot wander off and do anything else.
A Hindi-language screen-recorded tutorial (170K followers) showed the AI’s 'Today' panel with tasks like 'Build Jeep demo video' and 'Create EX demo video.' The speaker pasted an Instagram link into chat and the AI produced a detailed production plan for a Jeep restoration video — rust removal, sanding, olive-green airbrush, chrome detailing, turntable reveal — plus optimal posting time (7-9 PM IST), title length guidance, and hashtags like #RustyJeep. The framing: copy any video link, paste into Mu
Ademola A. (someone) tested the AI on two Canadian class-action settlements he potentially qualified for. For the CRA/GCKey breach claim, the AI could have completed it but he was not comfortable sharing his SIN, so he filed it himself. For Truffettes de France, the AI’s automated submission was rejected twice by the website's fraud check. His verdict: "Concept is great, but my experience was a bit mixed."
The AI Launch team reports a live test where a managed the AI Agent, given one chat instruction, searched Vast.ai for an RTX 4060 Ti under a $0.40/hour cap, rented it, rendered a 1920x1080 Blender frame over SSH, and destroyed the instance. The whole cycle took 194 seconds and cost $0.007.
His poker group has played together since high school. During Covid they played on a website that later shut down, and there was no good replacement for friends who just want a game of Texas hold'em online. He started building his own with AI while playing with the group, and after he was laid off from his database engineering job he spent two weeks going full time on it: front end, logins, authentication and stats. It is live in beta and free while he waits for his bank to approve that it is not a gambling website.
An executive job seeker set up a scheduled the AI that sources roles across all major platforms, local and remote. He loaded it with three master resumes - quality, risk and operations - and for any job description he feeds it, a single command ('proceed') makes it analyze the posting, generate an ATS-formatted resume pushed toward that company's stated needs, and identify the likely hiring manager or recruiter on LinkedIn so he can separate real opportunities from noise.
Since April he has logged meals and counted carbs in Google Sheets, and helps his wife do the same. He spent an AI session building a home app to make the logging simpler, shorter and more fun.
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.
