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 made a tool for students that started as a simple quiz solver extension and grew slowly to just over $100 in monthly recurring revenue, with very little marketing. A month ago he reverse engineered Anki using AI, so anyone can bring their Anki deck and study it in his tool. He says that is the thing that worked.
Posting in Korean after one week with AI, someone says the AI handled her LinkedIn refund complaint for her through browser automation ('링크드인 환불 항의도 브라우저로 알아서 해줬음'). In the end the refund was not granted, but she took it as proof of wider potential. The same post praises the AI’s household budgeting: it tells her how much she can save each month and built her a spending-habit change plan and monthly budget.
Agent acted as a dogged advocate in a commercial dispute and won it.
He says the AI helped him cut $140 from his AT&T bill. He adds that everyone he knows who uses AI has similar stories.
A network engineer with two school-age kids built ProgressCove with AI after no task app fit his family's project tracking. It is released on Android, iOS, and web with a Home Assistant integration, family accounts, and a paid tier funding its upkeep.
The AI compared 25 breast pump models from six brands against the user's insurance coverage, narrowing the choice to pumps that would actually be covered.
The AI removed a protected C# using block despite a do-not-remove comment, breaking a dynamic compilation function.
A researcher studying rare zero sum congruences wanted to split a 629 number interval into as many disjoint zero sum subsets as possible. He used AI to help with the implementation and the computational search, including randomised searches for the larger subsets, and found a partition into 86 zero sum subsets covering the whole interval. Whether 86 is the maximum is still open.
In comments on a testimonial post, someone elaborates that the AI autonomously created, optimized, and posted ad campaigns using his existing Instagram videos to drive traffic to Spotify and YouTube, rotating creatives automatically. Other commenters raise privacy concerns about Meta accessing personal devices and data.
Michelle Solomon (recipes/homemaking, 9.5K) typed her weekly meal plan for four into AI, which returned a consolidated grocery list organized by produce, meat/seafood, etc., keeping the total under $200 using store-brand picks. She approved the AI logging into her grocery account; the groceries arrived and she cooked glazed chicken breasts.
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.
