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.
ThursdAI host Alex reported that his AI 'Wilfred', newly flipped to the AI Wonder on his paid plan, found the New York podcast studio he recorded the show from. The AI then emailed Ezra at Virgo Studios with his requirements.
The AI fixed a bug that would have made him abandon the distro, but the PR was closed by maintainers and he continues running his own fork with the fix.
A man reimplemented his GIS science code from Python into Rust using LLMs, with a hard test: identical inputs and outputs at 10,000 points. Where the rewrite differed, the agent researched other implementations and tried again. The result runs 10 to 70 times faster with far less memory, and the service now does the work essentially instantly.
A screen recording shows a proactive AI message: TAP Portugal selling Montreal (YUL) to Lisbon roundtrip nonstop for $602 CAD all-in — 34% below typical best prices — noting it pairs with Manchester United's Champions League away game at Sporting CP on Wednesday, Nov 25 at Estádio José Alvalade. A user reply reads 'the AI is my new travel agent.'
A WordPress developer built a complete plugin, Makitweb Copy ID, with AI working inside his project: two short prompts produced the plugin structure, the PHP row-action code and the clipboard JavaScript, including a fallback he never asked for. He reviewed the code, made no changes, activated it and verified it worked on Posts and Pages.
The AI built and optimized his local decision engine for his private image organizer, reaching just under 85 percent accuracy across 500 validation prompts with sub-second responses.
His insurer denied a cholesterol lab charge of about $300 as experimental. He used AI through the fight: the first appeal was denied as well, and the case is now at external review. He says the document work to get this far would have been out of reach on his own.
A self-described desperate vibe coder commented in an Reddit showcase thread that the SaaS he built with AI, which auto-generates landing pages and tracks who will pay, made $16k in 3 days with 876 paying users. It spread via Reddit and Twitter and got noticed in a hackathon Discord.
The AI generated his chess analysis code, annotated PGNs, HTML pages and videos over multiple sessions; he now regularly consumes the generated video.
Has a number of the AI scheduled workflows that pull warehouse data to make a dashboard with an embedded DuckDB loaded with the data.
