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 wanted a control monitor to fit under his screen and follow the angle and shape of his Stream Deck. He uses AI with reference photos to get the base shape, adjusts sizes after measuring with a caliper, printed a quick baseplate to test the fit, and fixed a 1mm clearance problem with the lock after more measuring.
UFC fighter Justin Gaethje (verified, 3.7M followers) introduced his AI 'Highlight' for his training, travel, and business schedule. A notification reminded him of a Phoenix flight; he asked for tee times and the app showed options (Legacy, Aquila, Raven, Encanto) — he booked Raven Golf Club at 1:30 PM.
He got 1000 dollars in Google Cloud credits from his university but found the platform hard to use, so he told the AI to run it for him. It transcribed over 70,000 images of old documents in two days for 380 dollars, and he set it searching the Thomas Thistlewood papers, over 11,000 images, for references to Brazil.
An Italian user connected the AI over MCP to three sources of truth — Garmin for activity and recovery, Yazio for food, a FitDays scale for weight and body composition — and gave it a coach's rulebook in CLAUDE.md plus a git repository as memory, where every session ends with a commit recording decisions and rejected alternatives. Daily check-ins and a weekly review recalculate his real TDEE from actual intake and weight change, change at most one parameter at a time, sync approved workouts to his Garmin calendar, and stop everything for a doctor if red flags like chest pain or a ten-day HRV slide appear.
Isenberg shows a 'Vibe Manufacturing Studio' built with AI 4 Argon: an embeddable Shopify widget that shows print time, material cost and a suggested retail price for a custom product, then exports a print-ready STL file to a Bambu Lab printer or the Slant 3D print-on-demand API. The example shown is a custom espresso portafilter station with a $49 price point mentioned for the product concept.
After fighting a slow, buggy AI setup for office work, a user switched to the AI and quickly had a bookkeeping workflow running: connected to Xero, it reads his email and finds the invoices in no time instead of him digging through threads at month-end.
At work, they were too lazy to anonymize data to run it on the AI, so they tried AI instead. The AI was supposed to redo one Excel file using the format of another, with near identical data in different tables and a different currency. Two hours were lost.
He had the AI translate his MaPollution app into Italian, and it took 30 minutes. He can now offer his free service to people who speak other languages.
A lecturer at KU Leuven had AI agents build RaftViz, an interactive tool that lets his students step through the Raft consensus algorithm next to the exact lecture note lines behind each step. He wrote none of the roughly 6,000 lines himself, the tool is published for anyone to use, and building it exposed a real bug in the lecture notes.
The AI helped flash his router with OpenWrt, including running an exploit itself and instructing the UART steps to load the binary permanently.
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.
