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.
Someone had the AI rebuild his boys-trip page with dates, routes, and a foliage drive, then set up an Instagram Content Studio with trip ideas, captions, and shot lists. One agent run produced both the trip page and the content plan.
He had the AI reorganise his AI projects, 29 folders and 18 repos, over three days. Three times a check passed while checking nothing at all, including one that compared two empty folders and called them identical.
Built a macros tracker an agent can log meals into via MCP, so he can say log my normal breakfast.
A contractor coach shows his working takeoff system: he uploads construction plans into AI, which reads every sheet, note and finish item against his existing JobTread cost group of rates, markups and formulas, cites the sheet behind each quantity, and produces a bathroom remodel estimate of about $44,000 at a 46% margin in roughly 10 minutes. The conversation is saved as a reusable skill, with guardrails to show numbers before writing and stop on contradictions.
Opens an LLM in his dotfiles and complains until his broken LSP config works again, usually in a few minutes, a recurring fix over months.
His AI runs four standing jobs: each evening it checks new job posts in his niche and emails him only the ones worth his time; his messy end of day notes come back as tasks with due dates in his to do app; receipts he forwards get logged into a spreadsheet by amount, date and category; and on Sundays it tells him what slipped and what he keeps avoiding.
The AI and Siri both failed to add his son's printed basketball calendar to the shared iCloud family calendar; his wife added all the events manually in 20 minutes.
Marty (MartydudeVR, 6.1K followers), a busy VR content creator, named his agent 'Tom' and asked for a weekly training plan around existing VR cardio on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Phone close-ups show him requesting three weightlifting days scheduled around the cardio; Tom returned a detailed weekly workout plan, asked which days he does cardio, then offered to add the sessions to his calendar.
Agent integrated libgit into his IDE project to add source control, work that would have taken months by hand, done in about 2 weeks of calendar time.
He gave the AI an xpub for his crypto wallet. That is watch only access: The AI can see the public addresses but cannot move anything. The AI checks the blockchain every 30 minutes and pings him about any outgoing payment, so if his seed phrase were ever stolen he would know fast.
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.
