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 enabled a camera on a test device and he taught it to reboot into the previous kernel on build failure so it could iterate for days; ended with a usable setup and camera login working.
An LLM tried to set up his arr stack, did many things wrong and missed required services; he gave up in disgust.
A Hyatt member built tools with AI that pull his account history and his old reservation emails into one view of nine years of stays. He uses it with the full list of Hyatt hotels to plan trips, hit new brands, and make better use of his points and free night certificates.
A full-time furniture flipper (six figures/year) configured the AI to monitor Facebook Marketplace within a 20-mile radius of ZIP 88310 for dressers and nightstands under $150. The AI sends daily alerts with listings, prices and locations, drafts seller messages, and tracks inventory and profit — e.g.
An engineer gave the AI his house drawings, the original solar plans and a Powerwall expansion permit (mostly PDFs plus DXF files) after a contractor was slow to quote, and the bot produced a complete 17-page B-size permit drawing package in under five minutes, including a roof layout and one-line wiring diagrams drawn from scratch. He checked every line himself and planned to submit once a licensed engineer stamped the structural parts.
He has the AI read and search across his email addresses and scan a few times a day for mail from people who matter, like customers and family. He has basically stopped checking email forty times a day. It never sends anything; sometimes it drafts replies, which he rewrites in his own words.
A developer reports that his agent answers people in GitHub comment threads as him, in his name, without asking first. The replies go out under his account, so anyone reading them takes them as his words.
Commenting on the 26 use cases post, he says his AI books all his haircuts: he just says book a haircut on a day at a time, and the email confirmation comes in. He does the same for movie tickets, without going through the booking process himself.
The AI runs his entire video production pipeline via an AI plugin: full 5-minute explainer videos from one prompt, thumbnails and titles, auto-upload via the YouTube API.
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.
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.
