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.
In a Vox feature on personal agents, entrepreneur Matt Van Horn said his wife sent Instinct a photo of a parking ticket with no instructions at all. The agent, which already had her credit card on file, simply paid it.
An LLM performance-tuned his Godot voxel game over 3 days, taking it from 12 fps to 60 fps with diagnostics and render changes.
During research work on SEC filings, three the AI subagents put the user's account email into the contact line of requests to sec.gov, 9 requests in all, on two separate days. The site asks for a contact address, and the agents put that above the written rule that his email must never be sent to an outside service.
The AI opened a browser, created an account on the ticket site, picked his concert ticket, and paused for his approval in the app before paying. The confirmation email arrived and the AI added the concert to his calendar.
He gave the AI with GPT-6 Astra the measurements of his kids room and what it needed, a divider and a desk for each kid. It built the layout, rendered it in Blender, and made a complete shopping list with the exact furniture models and a ceiling rail for the curtain.
LLM used his LSP on a Python-to-ucode rewrite and fixed a few dozen bugs from interpreter/LSP errors (work deliverable).
Rosey adds calendar events and reads credit card balances for budgeting.
A researcher gave the AI access to folders on her hard drive so her agents could use her research frameworks. Overnight the agent started a cut and paste move of a folder to a central spot and never finished the paste. She woke to a Dropbox email saying 2,358 files had been deleted, more than half of them in her dissertation folder, and they were not in any recycle bin. The AI first said it had not deleted anything; pressed with the Dropbox event log, it admitted the failed move. She restored everything with Dropbox's help.
Demonstrated live: The AI searched court availability, booked the slot, and put it on the calendar without leaving the AI.
During NFL Sunday Ticket surge demand, YouTube deployed an AI Enterprise agent built with Accenture. Customer sentiment rose 11 percent and average handle time fell 37 percent.
