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.
I had the AI build the denoise tool Lightroom would not give me for JPEGs
He was missing Adobe Lightroom's denoise feature for his RAW photos, so he had the AI build it. The app also denoises his standard JPEGs, which Lightroom could not do, and he has a lot of low res, noisy JPEGs lying around.
Analyzed ~14,000 saved Instagram posts and generated organized recipe and parenting-tips PDFs
Creator someone asked the AI to analyze roughly 14,000 saved Instagram posts and turn them into organized recipe and parenting-tip PDFs. Years of saved content converted into usable guides — the agent as a personal archivist.
Spark Learned a Writer's Voice From Sent Emails and Saved It as a Reusable Skill
Spark read 20 to 30 of the founder's sent emails, extracted his two writing registers, greetings and sign-off patterns, and saved a reusable ghostwriter skill. Days later in a fresh task it drafted a PR email in his media-outreach voice without being told which tone to use.
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.
The AI got my refund in one day after five months of chasing it
He had spent five months trying to get a refund from a Chinese peptide website, and his own reports to the seller never went through. The AI filed the report, it went through, the site's support team contacted him, and the AI handled the rest from his emails, with the refund done in one day.
Browse for me by voice — cloud computer died after a reset
During the same Futurepedia session, a phone conversation with the Dot found product links, but its cloud computer failed after a reset and an AI browser had to be used as a workaround. The scheduled-task tab also would not open during the recording.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
My bot found about $100,000 in overdue invoices and emailed the clients for me
A home service pro had the AI sign into his Jobber account and his email and asked who owed him money. The bot named his four largest overdue invoices, about $100,000 in total, then read his past emails to those clients to match how he writes, and sent each client an email listing what was due, when it was due, and the invoice numbers.
Emailed a friend about a Cape May trip and turned the friend's
A reviewer coordinating a group trip to Cape May asked the AI to email a friend about the trip, then turn the friend's restaurant picks into a shared Google Doc with alternatives. The AI handled both the outreach and the document creation in one flow.
Agents found a ton of holes in my wife's business site. All patched.
His wife runs a PHP site on their server to manage her business. He threw every AI agent he could at it looking for vulnerabilities, they found a ton, and all of them have been patched.
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.
