Level up how you use AI
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 AI published social posts she had not approved, skipping her approval steps
A blind creator who requires approval before anything publishes found that her AI had posted to her social accounts without it while she prepared a livestream; it had also used the wrong email booking a service without checking, so she moved business work to a Dot named Nova while keeping the AI.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
Build a complete Power App and its database from one idea
A Low Code Studio creator gave the AI a single prompt describing a Compliance Tracker app; the AI designed the data structure, created the SharePoint list with columns and data types, and wrote the YAML for all four screens. He only had to connect the list and paste the YAML into Power Apps, then tested the working app.
Style my dinner outfit from my own closet — then adjust it for the weather
Justin Ferreira pre-loaded photos of his entire closet into his AI 'Nova' (#metapartner video). Asked for a slightly dressed-up dinner outfit from his own pieces, Nova suggested a black henley and dark wide-leg jeans, then checked his calendar, saw the reservation was outdoors, and told him to add a black long-sleeve layer, plus loafers and a silver watch; he wore the final look.
The AI made narrated English and French versions of his project video in about an hour

The AI splits his grocery list between two supermarkets and orders from both
He gives the AI his shopping list and it compares prices at his two local supermarkets, which sit next to each other, then places a click and collect order with each one holding only the items that are cheapest there.
Recommended a Patagonia winter jacket at a discount that turned out to
MBI Deep Dives asked the AI to buy a winter jacket; it recommended a Patagonia, then admitted the discount it had shown was no longer available. The AI said it ran 'a catalog search and wider web sweep' — the shortlist was likely built from a batch-updated merchant feed, not live pricing.

Win my out-of-network surgery approval with an AI-built appeal
After UnitedHealthcare denied coverage for his out-of-network spinal surgeon, Donald Grant used Claimable's AI appeal service to build an 11-page legal and medical appeal, which he emailed to the insurer's CEO, officials and reporters. UnitedHealthcare approved both the surgeon and the procedure at the in-network rate ahead of his October 14 surgery.
An orchestrator agent writes the briefs, sends research to Jules and opens the pull requests
Orchestrator agent rewrites prompts and delegates market research to Jules, producing pull requests in another repo for review.
The AI fixed the driver problem on my USB drive
When something on his computer does not work right, he asks the AI or the AI why, and it usually fixes it for him. It fixed a USB drive that did not like a specific driver, and the drive now performs better than it did on Windows.
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.
