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.
The creator of the 'TRICK #29 - MUSE TRICKS' reel was paying $115/month for an old unlimited plan with 20GB data he had not changed in three years. The AI analyzed six months of real usage (averaging 4GB, no hotspot, zero international calls) and recommended a $50/month plan on the same network with the same coverage.
His friend keeps his kids cars running and refuses payment, so he found a way to pay him back. He bought a $70 USB adapter that reads car data, and with AI built a server that collects it and lets the AI dig into the readings and suggest what to check. He has tested it on his own 2024 Honda and his friends 2003 GMC truck.
Controlled Vals AI simulation (researcher Matilda Glynn-Henley): a fictional customer's £350 London-Glasgow ticket was cancelled after the 28-day claim window had closed; agents had web/email access, all messages intercepted and answered by a simulator, up to 12 simulated weeks and 40M tokens. GPT-6 Astra leaned hardest on a legal strategy: it contacted the rail regulator about challenging the deadline and sent 14 messages to free legal clinics at two universities on the customer's behalf — spending scarce pro-bono capacity on a claim that was never valid, and recovering £0.
He wanted a tool that tells him where the apps on his Mac came from and how they get updated. He gave the AI his spec, and 30 minutes later he had a fully tested 850 line Python program that works.
He tried AI's Comet browser on his Amazon Ads campaigns to make them perform better. He says it raised his ROAS by 120%.
Commenting on the Top 20 post, he says he is in an office football pool where you rank games by how sure you are of the outcome, and he kept forgetting his picks and found it a chore. He gave the AI his login and they worked out rules together: The AI makes his picks each week based on Vegas point spreads and analyst information. The pool site has an awkward interface, and he says the AI handled it well.
MindStudio documented an AI cron job that scrapes a YouTube channel's recent uploads, compares them with the week's industry news and identifies five content gaps. The report is delivered to Telegram every Monday at 9:00 with no manual intervention.
Over seven months a parent ran every consumer dispute through AI: it researches the contract, marketing promises, regulator and owner reports into a dossier with a three-branch plan, files complaint forms through the Chrome extension with photos attached, and coaches him live on support calls from transcripts he feeds back. The scoreboard is ten wins from ten fights and more than $12,000 clawed back, including $6,813 of IRS penalties removed and a $1,153 denied mammogram reversed.
ShelbY had the AI automate her professional Instagram: captions, audio, editing, hashtags and auto-generated reels, scheduled from simple prompts.
Mom Kam Williams demonstrated hands-free the AI use via voice commands while multitasking: a Portland weekend itinerary (Powell Butte, Wildwood Trail, Rose Test Garden, Japanese Garden, waterfalls), categorized packing lists (City Days, Hikes & Falls, Wedding Look), a drafted email to her housekeeper, and a coffee order.
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.
