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.
Rachel D. Gainsbrugh (someone, ~3.5K followers, AI/systems creator) signed up for the AI on Sept 13, 2026, connected her calendar read-only, and typed six standing errand rules once — including a 7:05 AM daily calendar scan that flags overlapping meetings or ones falling inside a flight — then handed it two long-dodged errands (an appointment blocked by a flight, a subscription update).
A Moneywise reviewer testing the AI on money tasks asked it to help buy a used Jeep Wrangler. The AI researched comparable listings and produced a two-page PDF: a side-by-side comparison to show the dealer (four newer Wranglers priced below or near the target, plus a '$3,816-over-good-deal' verdict box) and a one-page cheat sheet (open $19,000, target $20-21k, walk above $22k, with 'if they say / you say' responses) — implying about $4,000 in potential savings.
The studio had the AI and PixelLab make one sample icon and waited for their OK. Then it made the other 24 in the same style, plus the gray locked versions Steam needs, for a demo at Next Fest in October.
Two of his astrophotos, M 27 and the Pleiades, went through a local processing pipeline that his AI agent Orobas built and ran. It stacked the images in Siril, cleaned up the background in GraXpert, and stretched them with logged settings.
A traveller's the AI checked him in for his flight automatically as soon as check-in opened. It told him his boarding group and sent him his boarding pass, with nothing for him to remember or open.
He let Astra control his old OnePlus 3 over ADB. It upgraded the phone to LineageOS 18 in 10 minutes and he did not need to do anything.
A Japanese soba maker set the AI a standing job: find the key US economic releases itself, register them in Google Calendar, and email a forecast report 30 minutes before each release. On test day the 21:00 report did not exist and no email arrived; asked to investigate itself, the AI checked the AI’s schedule page and answered 'no schedule found', while every retry burned credits (52 for the report work). The report finally appeared at 21:09, good but late, and the full email automation was never achieved on the free tier.
His AI rechecks all 31 providers and 89 plans on TokenPlans.dev on a schedule. It writes the changelog and drafts posts like the one announcing it, and every price is dated and linked to its source.
Uses the AI on his phone to clone projects, build his features in, build the app and push it to his phone, usually not upstreaming.
He needed a foreign language voiceover on a video presentation at work. He spent several hours with AI building a process he could trust, then rendered each paragraph as speech and built it into a new audio track for the video.
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.
