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.
Internal multi-subagent code review tool he built has run for half a year and finds serious issues including privacy leaks that humans and open-weight models miss.
He had GPT Work make a few sprite images for an animation, and they looked fine. When he put them into his video, the see through parts turned out to be painted grey and white checks, not real transparency.
Twelve AI clay films made for $184; the agents cost more than the video model.
The AI in the car, with Gmail and Home Assistant connectors, calculated car charging from home power metrics and calendar, and operated the garage door, lights and air conditioners from the car.
The AI books the user's tennis club clinics and pays for them, keeping the user's regular sessions in place without weekly admin.
The AI had been optimizing llama.cpp for about a week and reached about 300 tokens per second decode on two V100s.
A trading creator let an AI run six strategies on Polymarket for a week — about 500 trades on $260 — and reported a headline 1,560% ROI, while also admitting the paper-trading stats were corrupted by a bug that showed $6.2 million in profit from $30 by ignoring fees and slippage. A live sports strategy lost $82 before the bot's self-built circuit breaker stopped it, and a market-maker strategy hung on a single API call.
From a list of jobs his AI runs day to day: it watches when registration opens for their kids workshops and books a spot automatically when it does. Workshop places go fast, and he treats this as one of the ongoing jobs, not a one off question, that the agent quietly handles for the family.
'I may have set the record for the craziest the AI purchase ever': amyleecodes had the AI order a Samsung S95H 77-inch OLED TV from Best Buy for same-day pickup, then arrange pickup and delivery to her apartment via TaskRabbit — about 95% seamless, with a photo of the delivered TV box to show for it.
The AI goes through his sent emails to learn which sorts he typically responds to, pings him when it thinks he left something unanswered he'd want to answer, and repeats the exercise monthly to stay current.
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.
