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 man doing a home renovation uses a discount monitor alongside shopping list alerts and 3D models of the project. He says the monitor on its own saved him about $2,000 on the renovation.
He used AI or the AI with Chrome to control his browser and fill out an annoying form. It filled the form in from answers he had put together in a Word doc, and it made no mistakes.
Job applications from a Google Form land in his spreadsheet on their own and each one is emailed to him to review. If he replies yes, the applicant gets his scheduling link; once they book they get joining instructions and a reminder an hour before. He runs the business next to a full time job and two kids in diapers, so every message it sends for him counts.
A man fought USAA for over a month over the right deductible for roofing damage. The AI read his insurance documents and helped him keep a running argument, and he won and saved $1,838.30.
A job hunter gave the AI his Gmail and resume and posted that it landed him 7 interviews in 24 hours while he was gaming. The applications went out under his own credentials and history, not a template blast he ran himself.
The AI built a fast personal image browser for his many old photo folders, which he uses and likes.
During NFL Sunday Ticket surge demand, YouTube deployed an AI Enterprise agent built with Accenture. Customer sentiment rose 11 percent and average handle time fell 37 percent.
Around Elmira and Corning, New York, event listings were scattered across library systems, a brewery site, a school app, chamber newsletters and Facebook, so people found out about things the day after. He had the AI build one page that checks 101 sources across three New York counties and part of northern Pennsylvania: 1,855 listings over the next 90 days, 1,767 events after duplicates are merged, about 250 in any week, at 159 venues. A cron job reruns it every six hours on cheap shared hosting, about 8,300 lines of PHP, and cancellations mostly handle themselves because an event disappears when its source stops listing it.
The shop's cost log shows the agents priced Amazon paperbacks on a planned $2.32 print cost when the actual charge was $2.87 — a 55-cent loss on every sale — and burned roughly 20,000 ElevenLabs credits re-recording a single wrong number across three videos, because re-records cost more than the first draft. By day 10 the shop had spent $42.60 with $0 coming in.
Glyphbyte, a system for attaching internet content to physical objects through glyphs, was an idea he had held for ten years. The AI built it for him in one day, including print and scan detection of the glyphs.
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.
