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 a web page in ~40 seconds that she would not use
Web page build scored 5/10: built in ~40 seconds but read like a first-pass concept, noticeably less developed than the AI’s output for the same job — and the finished file was hard to locate (hunting through Goals and Files).
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
Track my personal data points and report daily
The MBI Deep Dives author writes that the AI tracks a set of data points he cares about and reports daily, including GPU prices, the App Store ratings race between the AI, the AI and the AI, and insider buy/sell transactions in stocks he owns. He describes using roughly 200 million tokens a week on a $20/month plan.
Agent 'Romy' planned a 5-day Costa Rica road trip from 51 saved reels — and held the flights
With five days' notice, her AI Romy reviewed 51 saved 'Costa rica' reels, built a 5-day itinerary (Bajos del Toro, La Fortuna, Monteverde), found and held Miami-San Jose flights without purchasing, and searched for a dry bag pending her approval; the reel ends with footage from the trip itself.
Auto-negotiated a lower internet bill, saving $30 with no manual effort
A Threads user shared that the AI automatically negotiated their internet bill down, saving $30 without any manual work on their part. Replies were mixed between enthusiasm and privacy concerns about sharing financial info with Meta.

Sort my whole move into keep, donate and discard from room photos
Neo Tsang recounts uploading room photos and an inventory to the AI a month before moving; the AI categorised everything by usage frequency into keep, donate and discard, with a room-by-room packing sequence. He also had the AI break down three movers' quotes line by line and picked the middle option at nearly half the most expensive quote (the post closes with a referral code).
He took weekly meal planning back from the AI after it drifted to wagyu and fugu
He had given the AI the family's likes and dislikes, their supermarket, their time limits and their kitchen kit, and the weekly meal plan still fell apart by Thursday, landing on eight hour smoked wagyu with truffle and fugu sauce and a side of caviar. It hit the macro targets and missed everything that mattered. He does the plan himself again.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
The AI ran the initial setup of a Facebook/Instagram ad campaign
Nari Media's test shows the AI making the initial setup of Facebook and Instagram ad campaigns fast and accessible for media buyers, handling the first build inside Meta's ad tools.
He built a free tool that picks the right drawer insert and writes the cut list
After measuring 17 kitchen drawers by hand and still cutting one insert wrong, he built a free tool with AI. You snap photos of a drawer, enter five measurements, and it checks 46 Rev-A-Shelf insert sizes, picks the top three fits, and gives the exact cut sizes.
The AI got his 1997 game running again and is taking it apart piece by piece
A man took a 1997 PC game he played as a kid and had the AI get it running on modern hardware in 30 minutes. Since then it has decompiled most of the game, extended a shimmed DirectX library so the game runs headlessly in parallel copies, mapped memory and game scripts, and now writes him full level guides with screenshots.
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.
