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 musician creator recorded a 90 second experimental techno track and generated every shot of its music video locally on MiniMax H3 from a single year old Midjourney image. An Augmentor agent over MCP controlled ComfyUI for the generation, because the creator did not fully know ComfyUI, and the creator edited the result in DaVinci Resolve, building the story around an unexpected second character the AI produced.
After measuring 17 kitchen drawers by hand and still cutting one insert wrong, he built a free tool with AI. You snap photos of a drawer, enter five measurements, and it checks 46 Rev-A-Shelf insert sizes, picks the top three fits, and gives the exact cut sizes.
Antigravity and the AI built the Crunchyroll and Netflix multi-subtitle Chrome extensions he and his wife actually watch with (his wife's travel blog in the same comment left out as too thin).
A week into letting AI agent edit his videos, the workflow has stuck. Agent edited video is now part of how he publishes.
Jailbroke his Kindle with GPT-5.5 Sol and turned it into an external e-paper display; the project code was written by GPT-5.6 Sol.
Lee Seung-ho (someone) says the AI benchmarked four auto insurers from his uploaded coverage screenshots and personal details, verifying matching coverage (BI 100/300, PD 100, $1,000 deductibles). He switched from $1,200 per six months to a Progressive quote of $694.50 per six months.
PCMag asked all three agents to find a named risotto recipe, match its ingredients to what a local Wegmans stocks, and load them into Instacart. Once the reviewer linked his Instacart account, the Dot found the recipe, matched the ingredients and filled the cart without a hitch, while the AI needed his password and a login code and added saffron nobody asked for.
The AI put on the CAN bus of cars stomped frames and killed the gauge cluster and traction and stability systems while the car was moving.
Jolenesugarbaker told the AI the measurements of her space — it found bookshelves that fit and ordered them from Home Depot, arriving the same day. Walmart and Amazon blocked the searches and lost the sale.
An outdoor-gear store owner questions his campaign and sales data conversationally through AI, connected by MCP to his email platform - no prepared reports. Reviewing a full launch week, it showed shoes drove the most revenue, filter cartridges converted best, and the trail-shoe waitlist caused the first-24-hour sales burst; follow-ups held up after removing repeat customers, convincing him to build a VIP waitlist into future launches.
