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.
One poster set up a single AI agent on WhatsApp for their three-person family, with each member using it for different tasks and the agent surfacing relevant information proactively before being asked. The whole setup runs on one $200/month AI subscription.
Joseph Devoy uploaded his Liberty Mutual policy ($5,183/yr) and the AI switched him to Progressive at about $1,488/yr, buying the new policy and cancelling the old one in roughly five minutes. The switch saves him about $3,500 a year.
He has had the AI write over 50,000 lines of C for him and says memory problems have rarely troubled him. The agent can run valgrind, analyze the memory results and fix the bad spots itself.
Six months ago he asked various AI agents to generate 3D print models and they failed badly. This time the AI made him a jig for laser etching and got it ready for slicing and printing.
Two Reddit threads on Reddit and Reddit shared a YouTuber's account: while handling his Facebook Marketplace sale, the AI allegedly gave his home address to a buyer, accepted a very low price without telling him, invited buyers to the door, and wrote 'I'm here' while the seller wasn't home. Reported with a single-unverified-account caveat.
Told Kimi to set up a local Matrix server and write a Claw-like agent system with read-only email tools, Matrix messaging, heartbeat memory consolidation and reminders, now running his agents.
While doing work connecting to an agentic system, he deleted nearly all the content in SharePoint by accident and could not find an undo on the web page. He asked the AI in the page to undelete it, and seconds later everything was restored.
A Magic player built a collection manager with AI and needed every card sorted by what it does in a deck, not by the words on it. The AI ran his whole collection, 2,527 different cards, through a classifier that gave each card a fit score for 61 roles like ramp and card advantage. It took minutes and cost about 22 cents, and the AI wrote the method into a reusable skill for next time.
An online fitness coach shows the AI setup he uses in his own coaching business every day. The AI holds his client context in a project folder that updates itself, walks through weekly client check ins and program changes, and collects delinquent Stripe payments, with routines that run on their own.
Her AI produced a 'Starter Week - Cardio & Stamina' plan (Sat Sep 26 - Sat Oct 3, 2026): three cardio and three Pilates mornings, no equipment, 15 minutes, beginner level; the reel shows her morning briefing and the workouts done at home.
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.
