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.
A developer built himself an AI evening edition. It goes through the posts and articles he saved, checks each one against his actual setup, and sorts them into adopt, trial, park or skip. Any change it suggests waits for his yes. The first run cleared his whole backlog of 30 items, and a planted fake post with hidden instructions was flagged and skipped.
Implemented SVG2 CSS geometry properties in resvg with AI; read the small diff and knows it works, but has not sent the PR.
He helped his brother with the website of Ichtus Vlaanderen, an NGO he used to work for. Using the AI through the WordPress.com MCP connector, he fixed design problems like a messy photo section and buttons that were too big.
After UnitedHealthcare denied coverage for his out-of-network spinal surgeon, Donald Grant used Claimable's AI appeal service to build an 11-page legal and medical appeal, which he emailed to the insurer's CEO, officials and reporters. UnitedHealthcare approved both the surgeon and the procedure at the in-network rate ahead of his October 14 surgery.
The AI, proxying commands through him, diagnosed and fixed in about an hour a box that OOMed and needed rebooting every few weeks.
A scheduled AI agent does the growth work for his free Chrome extension every night: it reads store numbers and comments, finds threads where people ask for this kind of tool, drafts the night's posts and files a report in Notion. Nothing public goes out until he replies go. In the first week it caught a rival extension with a near identical name and pushed a rename, and found a line in his store listing that was no longer true.
He spent an evening trying to teach the AI to drive a car. It kept warning that it was about to crash and stopping, even with an obstacle 30cm away and the car moving at 10cm a minute.
He asked the AI for ways to make free money, and it searched his name in his state's unclaimed property database. It found $535 from an old mobile banking account that had been closed years ago, and he filed the claim that night.
Ahead of an apartment move, a reviewer asked the AI for a day-by-day packing schedule. The AI built one with sessions capped at 30 minutes, sequencing items so things the person won't need before the move get packed first.
A daily routine on Sonnet reads his email, answers the routine messages from templates, and puts the rest on his todo list. When a task needs more than an hour, the routine blocks time for it on his calendar.
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.
