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.
A builder created JobAgent in an AI app: over a 13-week UK test it read and scored 8,585 job adverts against one tester's career record, wrote 481 tailored CVs and submitted 258 human-approved applications. The run produced 8 interviews and 3 offers — roughly one interview per 32 applications.
A man built an agent in Antigravity that goes through his concert history from the last 3 years and picks new shows near him, ranked by how much he is likely to like them. It also filters shows by 18 plus or all ages, so he can take his daughter.
Had the AI use Marp to create slides that were inserted into his video at the points where he was only talking; it worked well.
A tech writer had the AI search five years of his email for signup and password reset messages. The AI built a spreadsheet of the accounts it found, with breach notes and a deletion link for each service, and tagged at least 50 accounts.
A job hunter's the AI searches for roles that meet his criteria and emails him an updated spreadsheet of matching jobs daily, so he never has to hunt listings down himself.
A man who runs his own services at home sent his AI an article about a PHP security hole. The agent patched the services that had a fix, stopped the ones that did not, set up a watch for new fixes, and updated and restarted nearly everything as fixes landed through the day.
The AI rebuilt his website, his point of sale, and his online storefront. He no longer pays Shopify $40 a month, his site works better, and payments run through Square.
He used AI to build a Firefox add-on called FunData for Funda, the Dutch home listings site. It shows CheckJePlek data for each rental or purchase home, plus two map layers with land registry and livability data.
Kantar's People Team split HR data preparation into subtasks and gave each to an AI Studio agent: one located documents, another translated everything to English, a third found duplicate policies and drafted formatted versions. Ten agents cleaned, tagged and organized 4,000 artifacts into 400 policy documents in six weeks, grounding the firm's new HR advisory agent.
After the AI started managing his home systems, he gave it control of Home Assistant too. It proved good at writing automations and doing the setup, and he later moved Home Assistant into a Docker image.
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.
