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 says the AI found unclaimed property money in his name and his wife's name on state websites, a few hundred dollars between them, and walked him through a Dr. Squatch class action claim step by step.
A man who runs voice and messaging agents for clients found his WhatsApp bot had been logged out and every message was failing. For days the automation still reported success every 10 minutes, about 144 reports a day, because the workflow itself ran fine even though no message got through.
He had the AI download every video still left on a Twitch streamer’s channel, since Twitch only keeps archives about three months. The AI ran OpenAI speech-to-text twice for about $80, then made an HTML page summing up the public background the streamer had mentioned on stream.
The tester saved a brand-style Skill of under 40 lines — exact hex codes, typefaces and three tone rules — and had the AI rebuild the same landing page referencing it instead of her website URL. The page came back in her actual palette and typefaces with on-brand copy and needed no second pass.
Built an LLM-backed reference checker for his partner, a lecturer: an agent reads each cited source and checks the reference is correct and not hallucinated.
Commenting on the 26 use cases post, she says she gave the AI access to her budget tracker sheets. It updates the tracker with her balances, and she set up alerts for when a category goes over plan. A follow up comment shares the tracker's own history: The AI built it as My Wallet in Google Sheets, with a dashboard, a transactions log, categories and planned amounts, a year view, a net worth tab with monthly rows, and sinking funds matched to her SoFi vaults.
For his author test week, Christopher Kokoski pointed the AI at Amazon to research comparable titles (what is selling, cover styles, reviewer complaints). Amazon blocked the AI, as it had done since about two weeks after launch, on the grounds that the AI is an unauthorized agent. Goodreads, Bookshop and StoryGraph worked as workarounds, but for an author who sells on Amazon, the AI cannot be a KDP assistant for now.
A language learner had the AI create an original walk-around game that teaches vocabulary from the first episodes of a Korean webtoon, targeted to his intermediate level. Every word is tappable for a simpler-Korean definition, with cloze quizzes woven into the story, and he has played through two of four chapters.
The same Cowork setup checks his father's email for work orders and schedules his father's meetings automatically. He turned off data sharing with AI for this, so the mail is not saved anywhere else.
The same investor says he also has the AI watch special situations and send him push notifications when a situation changes. He mentioned it alongside the investing sheets the AI keeps updated for him.
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.
