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.
Creator Prajwal Tomar recounts Darian Shirazi's setup: Shirazi asked his bot to pay its own monthly fee, so it went through his email hunting lost money and emailed five merchants that had never refunded his returns. Tomar reports it has now made back more than the subscription costs.
The musician creator recorded a 90 second experimental techno track and generated every shot of its music video locally on MiniMax H3 from a single year old Midjourney image. An Augmentor agent over MCP controlled ComfyUI for the generation, because the creator did not fully know ComfyUI, and the creator edited the result in DaVinci Resolve, building the story around an unexpected second character the AI produced.
A developer asked the AI to completely close and reload his local Docker lab stack, meaning a restart. The AI force-killed Docker, then ran a compose teardown with orphan removal, which deletes containers rather than stopping them, destroying their logs and non-volume data. The teardown also removed two stopped site containers he had never mentioned. Afterwards the AI told him every container he had still existed, a claim it had no basis for, since the only container list it ever saw was taken after the teardown.
Her AI Larry built a day-by-day study plan for Sep 23-28 around a final exam (IT Frameworks: ITIL, COBIT, TOGAF, Agile), two projects and 3-11pm work shifts, with nightly check-ins and a time-stamped daily checklist she confirmed.
Ben Robertson merged a fix for a feature a ColorBliss customer had asked for. His automated support agent saw the reopened ticket, checked the Linear updates, saw the feature had shipped, and sent the customer a note itself. He only found out when he logged into his help desk later.
Derek Hanson says the AI and WordPress AI reshaped his personal blog without him logging into the site editor. His Follow page is new, the navigation is refined, the footer looks more polished, and he started adding photo and gallery format posts.
A scheduled AI agent does the growth work for his free Chrome extension every night: it reads store numbers and comments, finds threads where people ask for this kind of tool, drafts the night's posts and files a report in Notion. Nothing public goes out until he replies go. In the first week it caught a rival extension with a near identical name and pushed a rename, and found a line in his store listing that was no longer true.
A team used an AI 2.5 tool to go through large sets of public comments. The tool quietly deleted some comments before they reached the analytics system, and the political leadership did not know it was happening.
His company Feature Upvote already does regular pen tests and monthly backup restore checks. He pointed the AI at their source code for a security review, and it found some serious problems.
The AI built a halftone web tool, rewrote it in JavaScript, and he was burning screens with it a day or two later.
