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.
GPT is formalizing a researcher's papers in Lean, about 3000 declarations in
A mathematician is using GPT-6 Astra to formalize results from his papers in Lean. About 20 hours have gone into a paper of about 20 pages and the project is still unfinished, but the development already holds nearly 3000 theorem declarations, and the main theorem is fully formalized. Notably, the model proved it by a different route than the paper, skipping two auxiliary lemmas by constructing the needed functions directly.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
I built a foreign language voiceover for a work video with AI
He needed a foreign language voiceover on a video presentation at work. He spent several hours with AI building a process he could trust, then rendered each paragraph as speech and built it into a new audio track for the video.
Scan and categorise my Instagram DMs every morning
Agency owner Rui Fu (someone, 253K followers) demonstrates the daily system he shows for the AI: an 8 AM scan of the last 24 hours of Instagram DMs, categorised into brand partnerships, collaboration requests, fan messages and spam so he wakes up to only the important ones. The tutorial also shows an auto-reply rule for guide inquiries and offers his prompt guide in exchange for comments.
My cafe game went into 8 languages with AI
His cafe game sells, though not for big money, and he took it global in one update. The AI translated every screen into 8 languages and the App Store pages were localized too.
The AI implemented a pairing protocol in Swift just by talking to his smart plugs
Got the AI to implement TPAP compatibility in Swift purely by interacting with his local plugs and response shapes plus RFC 9383, figuring out it was SPAKE2+ and the password hashing steps.
Added an event to his calendar
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.

The school district buried its survey in a 3,000 page PDF, so I made it searchable
His local school division released the raw answers to a touchy redistricting survey as one PDF of more than 3,000 pages, which nobody could realistically read. He used AI to write scripts that pulled the answers out and built a public web page where people can search the responses and filter them by keyword and by school.
My podcast episode was edited mostly by my AI agent
He has edited his podcast Rebuild by hand for years, and nearly everything after importing the recordings was manual. For the latest episode, the AI reverse engineered Logic Pro's ProjectData file so the editing could be automated, and the agent did most of the edit.
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.
