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.
John Voorhees has his Dot, Puck, coordinate his work: he spins large projects off into AI threads and lets the Dot manage them, alongside setting up tasks, checking email and doing light research. He says the delegation has worked reliably the couple of times he has used it.
Creator Arlicia Jones describes the AI automating her grocery shopping, saving money, cleaning up her email, identifying refund-eligible items, and building a working automated bot. She promotes the service with a referral code (ND6YC6).
He and his wife hold pensions, SIPPs, property, mortgages and ISAs across seven or more places. He built a planner that aggregates and prices all of it, projects future values, and sends push alerts with rebalance signals when goals are met. The monthly Excel update he used to do by hand is now a five minute browse.
Worked weeks on an AI-generated, human-guided proof of Hilbert-Smith with a complete 100k LOC Lean4 formalization, rushed out after OpenAI's release.
LLM used his LSP on a Python-to-ucode rewrite and fixed a few dozen bugs from interpreter/LSP errors (work deliverable).
He had the AI sort through his emails. It cleared over 11,000 of them and organised the rest, and he says it was far easier to set up than the AI.
He let an AI run his HighLevel affiliate site for two weeks. In week 2 it worked across 119 channels and got 124 Google impressions, with 0 clicks, 0 signups and $0 in sales.
A Business Insider Japan writer gave OpenAI Dots access to his email and calendar. When event and interview mail arrives, Dots pulls out the date and the job and puts it in his calendar. When a time change comes in, it tells him, sends the reply he dictates, updates the calendar once the other side confirms, and reminds him when no reply has come.
One user listed what his AI did over a few weeks: filed his homestead exemption back to 2024 (about a $4,000 refund on the way plus roughly $2,000 a year), switched his car insurance to Progressive (about $1,500 a year), moved him to a cheaper power plan (about $800 a year), filed 20+ class-action claims for him and his wife (about $500 expected) and applied to 15+ jobs that led to interviews. He put the total at about $9,000, with forms prepared for his approval.
0507uniuni sent the AI a photo of a license plate and a parking sign. The AI estimated the time needed after a comedy show, found the payment page, and paid for parking through Stripe Link.
