Level up how you use AI
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 AI fixed the database corruption that took my Plex server down
A long-running database corruption problem took his Plex server down that morning. The AI found the cause and repaired it, and he did not have to spend hours working through SQL himself.
AI wrote the script that let him type into his terminal from his phone
He wanted to type into a remote tmux session from his phone. The AI wrote a script that finds the pane, watches for his messages, and injects the text as keystrokes, and it works.
The AI runs his Facebook Marketplace sales inside rules he set
The AI answers buyer messages on his Facebook Marketplace listings itself, inside rules he set: a floor price it cannot go under, cash mentioned once, and his address shared only after price and pickup time are agreed. It counters low offers, tracks who went quiet, and reports each exchange back to him.
The AI made every cover, flipbook and promo for my 7 live books
A self-published author says the AI, his personal agent, made every cover, flipbook and promo for his 7 books that are now live. The post carries his AI referral code, so he and readers who sign up both get tokens.
His agent read the crash logs and untangled three different crashes on one laptop
A man's laptop crashed hard while he was working with the opencode agent. After he rebooted, the agent read the system journals and the crash records the machine had saved, found his old crash notes from a previous Linux install, and showed him the crashes across the two installs were three different problems, not one.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
Cut IT support ticket creation by 30% with a self-service agent
Microsoft's internal Employee Self-Service Agent, built with AI Studio for 300,000+ employees, acknowledges the troubleshooting steps a user already tried and promises a handoff to a live technician if self-service fails. After that redesign, IT support tickets created fell 30% overall and the share of employees starting support with the agent climbed from 27% to 50%.
The AI searched a man's X account and found both of his promo codes
He asked the AI to check a man's X account for any promo codes he had posted. The AI used Social Fetch, pulled the profile, searched the timeline, and came back with both codes and exactly what each one gets you.
Run my social media agency's content factory with AI and its Cue agent
A creator walks through the 11-step system he says he uses to run a social-media agency content factory with AI 2.0 and its Cue agent, using his own VGC brand from setup to reporting. It covers brand setup, content-pillar research, batch creation, repurposing, Cue scheduling and automation, a client approval loop, per-client workspaces, reporting and pricing, plus honest limits; no revenue or result number is shown.
An AI one-liner fixed his home integration's restart bug; he keeps the fork himself now
