The AI cleared over 11,000 of my emails last night
He had the AI sort through his emails. It cleared over 11,000 of them and organised the rest, and he says it was far easier to set up than the AI.

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.
Extract meeting commitments without inventing owners
Given raw meeting notes, a participant list and the related email thread, the AI produced a commitment matrix by owner, due date and source file, plus a follow-up email draft. Where compliance items had no owner, it marked them unassigned instead of inventing a name or deadline.
GPT helped me fix my Bitcoin miner and build it new firmware
GPT helped him fix his Bitcoin miner. He also created his own improved, branded user interface and firmware for it.
I record 40 seconds. The AI edits the video and posts it everywhere.
A scripting skill picks his best idea and writes what he will say. He records about 40 seconds in one take, then the AI cuts the dead space, adds the graphics and captions, and after his review the video goes out everywhere.
Turn my inbox into an auto-updating P&L
An AI bookkeeping agent scanned its owner’s inbox, logged invoices and payments, built a Google Sheet and created a monthly auto-updating profit-and-loss statement. The books now maintain themselves from the mail.
Orchestrate the AI over SSH and review its work
A developer built a bridge where the AI writes the prompts for the AI running on a remote machine over SSH, reviews the output itself, and routes corrections back to the coding agent. One agent manages and quality-checks another agent's code work.
Organise back-to-school for my four kids
The AI handled the back-to-school organisation for the user's four children, pulling the lists, dates and requirements into one managed plan.
A database swap done in minutes gave his app 10 times lower latency
Migrated a non-trivial Firestore app to SQLite with agentic coding in a few minutes of migration time, getting 10x lower latency and 10x requests per second.
I asked the AI to debug my website widget. I fixed it myself.
He found a problem on his website with the embedded Cal.com widget he uses for people contacting him. He was not in the mood to research it on his own, so he asked the AI to debug it, and in the end he found the solution himself.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
My agent caught my car insurance renewal, shopped it, and saved me over $700 a year
In past years he would have missed his renewal date and paid whatever the new price was. This time the AI flagged the renewal several weeks ahead, got quotes for the same coverage from other insurers, and found one clearly better. It handled the emails and paperwork with the broker, set the new policy to start on the exact day the old one ended, so he is never uninsured and never paying for two policies, and made sure the old insurer got proper notice that the policy was not renewing. His whole part was reading one summary and saying yes. The saving was over $700 a year.
$700a year
