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.
He asked the AI to cancel his Adobe plan. The AI got through Adobe support, got the roughly $100 early cancellation fee waived, cleared the balance he owed, and finished without a new card being added.
A Yahoo Fantasy football manager asked the AI to set their weekly lineup. The AI filed a waiver claim for the Chiefs defense, dropped Green Bay, and started Kansas City once the claim cleared.
Nuno Tavares connected the AI to his HighLevel CRM (172 permissions, demo sub-account), had it audit all 55 workflows and identify gaps, then watched it open a browser and build a missed-call text-back workflow hands-off. The build landed as a draft: missed-call trigger, tag and wait step.
A father of two walked his house photographing his belongings, including model and serial numbers where he could, and dropped the photos into a folder for the AI. In 20 to 30 minutes it produced a spreadsheet cataloguing the items with descriptions and current replacement values, each with a confidence rating, grouped by room, plus a tab for things needing a second look. He can add photos later and ask for the list to be updated.
Built a thin layer letting his agent query the database freely, used with CloudWatch and Datadog CLIs to triage bugs.
Josh Collier ('Fractional AI Officer', 7.6K followers) showed the AI connected to Notion pulling his entire archive of 2,556 saved FB/IG items into a 'Saved Library' database with category, platform, type, author, link, hashtags, date, and full caption text. Breakdown read aloud: Exercise 562, Business 231, Mindset 221, Finance 144, Golf 137, Faith 97, AI 91, plus Lifestyle/Tech/Health and ~1,000 older captionless saves in 'Other.' He called it his AI now 'knowing' everything he saved.
Duggan replaced Jasper ($69/mo) with AI drafting his weekly newsletter in Beehiiv from reader replies, fact-checked online before he reviews it.
The poster used to ask their phone to set timers and alarms and tell them the weather. Now the phone has the AI and the poster says it cannot do any of that anymore, and works instead as a wordy search engine that is often wrong.
Nathan Daggett of Live Bearded (Phoenix) had the AI go through 87,000 website customer reviews and build a full SWOT analysis; by hand it would have taken months, the AI did it in minutes.
He got the AI to design a PCB with hundreds of components, including an STM32 chip the AI also wrote the code for. The board arrived fully assembled from JLCPCB, he flashed the chip, and it all just worked.
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.
