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.
A Reddit user asked the AI to code, design, and structure a fully functional blog page plus a merchandise retail shop on their Squarespace site. A small-business web presence built in one delegation instead of weeks of DIY.
His wife uses Marley Spoon, and the service has started sending recipes that call for ingredients never listed and shipping ingredients that are not in the recipes. Its customer service bot refunds them automatically every week.
In a screen-recorded demo, lifestyle creator Jenna Ricciardi's AI agent Glimmer canceled a subscription she had forgotten she was paying for, one of several delegated tasks shown in the reel.
Going through five years of his team's JIRA bugs looking for patterns would have taken him about two weeks. The AI did the analysis and collation in under 30 minutes.
Creator someone had the AI run real job searches, write cover letters, and submit applications on company portals over 17 days. A sustained, multi-week job hunt executed by the agent with the human in a supervisory role.
The AI writes daily blog post drafts for his app and checks draft approval status every 2 hours, pinging only when something changes.
The AI decrypted the CSV file Authy sent in a GDPR data request; he moved his 2FA codes to Ente and can now export them at will.
A person's OpenAI dot could not push its work to GitHub. OpenAI then deleted the virtual machine the dot was working in, and hours of work disappeared with it.
Engadget reporter Karissa Bell spent a few days testing the AI (naming her agent 'boo') after connecting it to her Meta accounts. As one of her first tasks she had it mine her large backlog of saved Instagram and Facebook posts for recipe videos and posts, returning an organized list grouped by type with ingredients, steps, and links back to each original post — a searchable personal recipe book.
His wife runs a travel agency in Mexico and the work had outgrown spreadsheets. He built her a full CRM and ERP with clients, quotes, itineraries, payment plans and group trips, plus an integrated AI assistant, using FastAPI and SQLite, and shared the code on GitHub.
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.
