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.
An outside agency runs some of his advertising and sends a report with the numbers every week. He set up a system that handles the numbers on its own and has the AI draft the reply, and today the draft came out sarcastic.
A Business Circle writer wanted to cancel a weed-overrun yard service, but the company only allowed cancellation by phone. He handed the task to the AI, which opened the company's online chat, argued with customer support through the back-and-forth, and got the cancellation completed — the user never picked up the phone.
The WisePPC team sells on Amazon under its own brands. Every morning an AI reads the account health check and the change history in WisePPC and sends a short Telegram message: which campaigns hit their budget early, which advertised product went out of stock, and which bids changed the night before. It then queues proposed bid cuts and pauses, with its reasons, for a person to approve or decline. Nothing goes to Amazon without that approval.
Rosey updates the kids chore chart on a Skylight frame every morning.
A pipe burst in his house two months ago. He now has the AI run his side of the claim. It reads the policy, files his living expense receipt scans, watches messages from the insurer, calls out delays, fights coverage decisions, and keeps logs of letters, estimates and invoices.
A field service worker loaded the AI with every user and service guide for the products he repairs, plus all advisories and known issues. He runs each job's action plan through it: The AI checks the parts are on the original parts list, flags advisories, and builds a step by step PDF for the repair. On a product he barely knew, its diagnosis named a different component than the plan he was given. After six hours with his engineering team he followed the agent's call and it fixed the machine.
UFC fighter Justin Gaethje (verified, 3.7M followers) introduced his AI 'Highlight' for his training, travel, and business schedule. A notification reminded him of a Phoenix flight; he asked for tee times and the app showed options (Legacy, Aquila, Raven, Encanto) — he booked Raven Golf Club at 1:30 PM.
Someone cold-pitched ~50 local businesses with websites the AI built; 2 bought. The website-flipping idea came from the AI itself; he just made the calls.
He uses an iOS app the AI made for him. When it feels slow he sends a screenshot and notes through TestFlight, the AI is told at once and ships the fix in the background.
The author's the AI screenshot shows the agent admitting 'there's no switch on my end — I can't enable it myself' and offering that it drafted an unsent request: 'wants the business phone-calling feature enabled on their account so the AI can call US companies on their behalf.'
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.
