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.
A reviewer agent has checked 7,600 of his commits in four months and rejected half at least once
A reviewer agent has gated his commits for four months of daily use, about 3,877 commits and 7,600 reviews, rejecting about half at least once and catching real bugs before commit (his own measured use, RemainderBot class).
A status monitor he built with AI watches his home tech
A ready made dashboard only shows what the maker thinks matters. His own status monitor, built with AI on a 10.3 inch second screen, shows him when an n8n workflow, a hoster or his lawn mower socket fails, with 53 tests included.
A support bot closed my ticket because it misread my doubled order
His order was doubled, and the company support bot closed his ticket. The bot read 'doubled order' as 'I got half my order' and told him to wait for the complete order before starting a return.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
Tracked business-class fares from LAX to Rome under $2,000 and got a
Lauren (someone, 32K followers) flies business class but refuses full price, so she tested the AI and named her assistant 'Miles.' On-screen chat showed Miles quoting a ~$3,750 baseline and confirming it would monitor for three months; statuses cycled through 'Tracking fares' and 'Searching fares.' Later a phone notification showed Miles's 'Good morning!' briefing listing five Icelandair fares under $2k from SEA and SFO to Rome. B-roll showed her on a business-class flight.
$2,000

Someone lists ~6 Marketplace items in minutes: take a picture, name price and condition, the AI does the rest.

He likes Goodreads but people without an account cannot see his books there. He told the AI about it, and the AI created a WordPress plugin and made a books page on his own site, thatsportsgamer.com/books/, that shows his books using the Goodreads RSS feed.
Run my moving-company marketing with three always-on bots and a 35-minute morning approval pass
A moving/junk-removal owner says three the AI run his marketing agency work: a Google Business Profile posts bot drafting daily posts in each client's voice, a review-replies bot generating three reply options per new review, and a GoHighLevel bot logging leads, creating call-back tasks and drafting follow-ups. His morning pass runs 6:30, 6:45 and 7:00 AM approving posts, picking replies and sending follow-ups, done by 7:05 with nothing left open; the bots are logged into Gmail, Quo, Stripe, Wix, GoHighLevel and Google Business Profile.
Describe someone else's financial document to me
On September 23, 2026 a user posted that Instinct appeared to describe someone else's financial document to them. Founder Noah Shinn responded the same day that the model had fabricated a proper noun — a hallucination, not a data breach — and that the team built a hallucination detection layer within 48 hours.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
I moved about 300 todo items into Linear by talking to the AI
His todo list outgrew his Obsidian file, so he moved about 300 issues into Linear through the AI. He then refined the roadmap by talking with AI while driving.
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.
