The AI filled in my VAT exemption form by itself
He had a Cerfa form to fill in so his training activity could be exempt from VAT. He says the AI filled it in all by itself.

Level up how you use AI
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.
Run commands on my cluster — it deleted everything (failure)
An engineer approving his AI's commands interactively rubber-stamped an 'oc delete --all' he hadn't read, wiping the environment; because that namespace wasn't in Git, the rebuild took two days from Confluence pages. Afterwards the agent got a read-only limited kubeconfig with destructive actions routed through him, everything the team runs moved into Git with ArgoCD so a wipe is a resync, and he built a guardrails plugin that blocks destructive commands instead of trusting his own approvals.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
My agent drove my Mac and posted my Discord poll by hand
Discord has no API for polls, so he gave his agent Roby access to his Mac. Roby opened the form and posted the poll under his name, the way a person would.
Agents shrank his AI model container from 6 GB to 900 MB and off the GPU
LLMs migrated a 6GB GPU SciBERT container to a 900MB ONNX CPU container.
AI scripts run the air in my home studio
He built air quality management for his home studio, all scripted by AI. An AirGradient sensor feeds CO2, temperature and humidity into Home Assistant, which boosts ventilation, kicks on the heat pump, or runs the humidifier when the air drifts from comfortable.
One founder runs his whole company through AI sessions
He is the sole founder of BlueVeta, where a customer uploads one product photo and gets back a full marketing campaign for 20 platforms. Every part of the company runs as its own AI session, the sessions message each other and share docs, and nothing is built, deployed or spent without his OK first. The company has real paying customers through Stripe, and the AI does about 75 percent of the work in each customer pack.
The AI made a whole film about a book no one can read
He gave the AI a one line brief and only encouragement while it worked, with no notes on the finished film. The AI picked the Voynich manuscript, checked its numbers against published research, and made a four minute film, all 7,417 frames drawn in code.
The AI diagram shipped without the claim it was meant to show
He asked the AI to make a technical diagram with gpt-image-1. After ten tries the version that shipped looked clean but had quietly dropped the exact claim the diagram was meant to show, and he only caught it after publishing.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
The AI wrote thousands of lines of 3D tooling in a week, fixing models from his marked-up renders
The AI wrote thousands of lines of Blender Python over a week for mesh inspection and cleanup, fixing parts from his annotated render previews.
After Indeed laid off his wife, he built a job service that now applies for people inside an AI app
A builder whose wife was laid off by Indeed built a job search platform with AI, then a connector that brings it inside an AI app: search about 15,000 new jobs a day for free, drop in a resume for matches and tailored versions, and have the service submit applications on employers' own sites once the user approves. It launched the week before his October 14 post and already has 450 users with 75 active daily; paid users on autopilot are seeing 83 interviews per 100 subscribers.
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.
