Level up how you use AI

Real things everyday people got it to do, and how to try them yourself.

Shuffle again

A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.

The AI helped run the search that split a set into 86 zero sum parts

A researcher studying rare zero sum congruences wanted to split a 629 number interval into as many disjoint zero sum subsets as possible. He used AI to help with the implementation and the computational search, including randomised searches for the larger subsets, and found a partition into 86 zero sum subsets covering the whole interval. Whether 86 is the maximum is still open.

Booked Savoca & Sons via OpenTable for a 7pm date night, then

Cole Bennett's agent 'Milo' sent a Monday morning summary, suggested a date night, curated Italian options from his saved reels (Rosetta & Vine, Savoca & Sons, Marchetti's), booked Savoca & Sons at 7pm via OpenTable under his name, then offered to order white roses and had Moon's Flower Shop deliver a $238 bouquet the same day via AMEX authorization.

I moved 23 years of my content home and made every course free

Andrew Connell moved 426 pages, 281 course pages, 217 videos and 8,911 comments back to his own site after closing his Voitanos business, with every old URL answering with a single 301. The AI did most of the work over six months in his personal time, and his site went from about 5 percent of the organic search share to close to 90 percent in two months.

Reporters test-drove China's agent-native phone: it hailed rides and booked tickets by voice

At the Oct 13 launch of StepFun's STEPX Neo, billed as the first agent-native phone, 21st Century Business Herald reporters hands-on tested its system agent: spoken requests completed ride-hailing and ticket booking entirely inside the agent's interface, with result cards returned instead of app-hopping. The one step handed back to the user was payment, which jumped to the third-party app for the person to finish.

My agent watches my client chats so no reply or meeting ever slips

A consultant runs 21 the AI jobs, all switched on. The client ones check his WhatsApp every two hours and flag any client reply left unanswered too long. Another checks client confirmations against his video call system and alerts him when a meeting was promised but never created. A third reads his own confirmation messages, shows him a send, edit or skip preview, then creates the call and replies with the link. Draft replies are prepared the same way and only go out after his tap.
