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.
The AI’s watch app code was broken beyond steering, so a cheaper model rebuilt it and it works
FAILURE then rescue: The AI’s code for his Garmin watch app compiled but was totally broken even with heavy steering; GLM 5.3 Flash then made it work.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
Negotiated AT&T fiber bill down from $106.01 with a documented live-chat transcript
A two-slide carousel shows an AT&T online live chat (customer 'Chun' with agent 'Lalaine') where the customer explains being an AT&T Fiber Internet 1000 customer since 2021 with a bill that rose to $106.01, asking for loyalty discounts to get under $90. The someone repost reports the final outcome: $81.01/month.

Our weekly meal plan lands in the family calendar and bends around our week
A weekly scheduled plan writes the week's dinners into their Google Calendar, trained on the family's dietary needs, restrictions and preferences. It checks the local weather forecast and the calendar itself, so a hot day gets burgers on the grill, a cool night gets chili, and travel days or evening commitments get easy low stress meals. They eat out far less now.
Script, voice and animate my videos with AI (replacing a $480/mo editor)
Duggan says he replaced a $480/mo Upwork video editor with an AI pipeline: The AI scripts the video, ElevenLabs provides the voice, and Remotion/HyperFrames handles the animation. He says the reel itself was produced this way.

A weekly report tells him what changed on all his machines, set up in 30 minutes

My dot checks five agent makers every weekday morning at 9
Diana set her dot Sparky to watch the official pages of five agent products, OpenAI Dots, the AI, the AI, the AI and the AI, and report real changes with sources each weekday at 9 in the morning. Sparky asked what time she wanted it to run instead of picking one. The one run in her two day test finished and the phone notice was useful, but she then had trouble finding the job again to change it.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
The AI edited his live website from voice directions on his phone
The AI, directed by voice from his phone, made live edits to his website and the page refreshed with the fix.
Research and order Lego Star Wars sets for my kids
Elon Musk posted that he asked the AI to research the most fun Lego Star Wars kits for young kids and order them; the shared confirmation showed five sets totalling $241.34 with free delivery. The screenshot also exposed his order number, email and partial card details, and users claimed they used them to try to cancel or alter the order via Lego’s service bot.

Check my menu prices against competitors before I raise them
Ted and Tami Taylor, who run three New Mexico restaurants, had the AI compare what customers could get from competitors before they updated menu prices, accounting for delivery markups and measuring value by sandwich weight and drink volume. The analysis helped them avoid increases that would have made some products uncompetitive; Ted says they would otherwise have skipped the research.
