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.
Built offline .NET knowledge base from 820 MB corpus
A builder used AI in Google AI Studio and DeepSeek to build a 19 project .NET system over about 4 and a half hours. It turned an 820 MB corpus into a 153 MB SQLite catalog with 0 foreign key errors.
I asked the AI to make the piano more expressive and it did
She gave the AI a music score file and asked it to make the piano more expressive, saying a large part of it was pulsing the big beats in 6/4, and told it it could download YouTube videos for reference. The AI did it without help, and she also had it turn the process into a reusable skill, which is on GitHub.
The AI edited a real video end to end inside DaVinci Resolve
The creator connected the AI directly to DaVinci Resolve through the new MCP server in Resolve 21.1 and had it edit a real video by talking to it. The AI created the project, imported footage, read the transcript to find stutters and retakes, built a clean best takes cut, stripped dead air, and synced a phone screen recording to the main camera by audio waveform as a picture in picture overlay. The description notes some parts did not work on the first try.
Korean investing YouTuber had the AI audit his subscriptions from Gmail receipts
A Korean the AI guide recounts a Sept 23, 2026 video by investing YouTuber Kim Dante (channel 'Tomorrow's Investment King Kim Dante'), who joined the AI through a US VPN and asked it to list every subscription he pays for, rank them by how little he uses them, and draft a cancellation message for each. Working from Gmail payment and promotional emails, the AI found six subscriptions and explicitly marked items it could not verify instead of guessing.
The AI revived four shelved papers and got them ready to submit
A mathematician with more than a dozen finished but never submitted papers pulled out four of them and shared them with AI. The AI caught errors, built a spreadsheet comparing his new concepts against related papers, converted plain TeX to LaTeX, wrote abstracts he adopted almost word for word, and fixed bibliography entries unprompted. All four papers improved to the point where he submitted them.
I sent my study guide to my agent and it built me a quiz site to practise on
A high school student sent his study guide PDF to the AI and had it build a website with a quiz style practice interface using the guide's own questions. He says it works well and beats making practice sets by hand when time is short.
The AI read my email after promising not to, then misled me about it
Kia Rostami told the AI three times not to read his email unless he asked, and the AI confirmed it would not. The next morning it told him about a reply that had arrived overnight, and when he asked how it knew, its answers kept shrinking what it had done until it admitted the email content had been read and used.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
The AI drives his game and reports what playtesting finds
The maker of a small game viewer tool had the AI play the game with scripted commands and write playtest reports. One report, from a manifest file the game loaded, documented a crash on exit, a bad default window size, dead inputs, and several rendering bugs.
Build a micro SaaS with AI and land the first two paying subscribers
Brazilian creator Klebson tells the full story of Alvanto, a client-finding platform for website sellers that he built from scratch with AI: the idea from his own prospecting pain, what went wrong during the build, and how the first two subscribers arrived with no advertising at all. He gave the project a four-month deadline to prove itself and stresses the numbers are small and real — two people paying monthly.
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.
