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 writer is applying for a lead pipe replacement grant. His dot read an email from his builder and told him it did not meet the requirements for the grant he is applying for, flagging the gap before it cost him the application.
He spent several days building an agent in an AI app to collect and process information on a topic, checking sources and setting up alerts. He says it did not work at all.
In the same 'Lux' demo, Ashley Graham showed the AI proactively notifying her that she and husband Justin were free Thursday for jazz, suggesting a booking at 'Crazy Pizza,' checking OpenTable availability, and mapping traffic from Maplewood, NJ with advised departure times. The demo covered date-night picks, calendar management, a rescheduled fitting email, and a Marketplace kids'-bike search — positioned as full life management.
He gave GPT a security audit skill that checks his machine against newly published vulnerabilities, patches what it can, and warns him about the rest. He runs it whenever new CVEs land, and says the patches need care because a fix can cause as much trouble as the flaw.
He runs the AI on his PC with ha-mcp on the same machine, so the AI can reach into Home Assistant and make the changes he asks for. He keeps it on his own PC only, and says a new dashboard is done as soon as he describes it.
The AI scanned his network traffic via router SSH access and blocked all LG TV tracking and ad domains on the router block list.
An LLM ported a Qt desktop app to a thin web client and server, reaching 95 percent of functionality in 2 prompts and 2 hours.
He had the AI make an app that controls his Mac fully from his iPad. It took two sentences and two follow up prompts, under two hours of work, and the app even built its own recorder to check its streaming sessions.
His agent takes his finished films, makes short clips from them, and posts the clips itself. He reports the results have been great.
The AI set up 5.1 surround streaming from his Linux desktop to Steam Deck via Moonlight, near one-shot apart from human speaker checks.
