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.
Travel creator jordentually had her AI analyze her Instagram content and produce a decade-long itinerary scheduling visits to all 197 countries month by month from 2027 through December 2036 — a concrete multi-year roadmap for her stated 197-country goal.
Setting up the Instinct assistant live on screen, he had it book him a slot at his local recycling centre. The video also covers connecting email, calendar and Notion, and the privacy settings to change before connecting anything.
Someone sent the AI two photos of the office fridge and had it figure out what needed restocking, comparing brands and items across the photos to build the shopping list.
Planning a family holiday in Florida, Eric opened a voice call with Jarvis about skydiving availability. By the end they had worked through airport pickup, three jumpers split across two aircraft loads, two boys waiting on the ground, drive time and the rental check-in, and slotted the jump into otherwise dead travel-transition time. When he pushed back on an early Everglades start, the plan moved and the shareable itinerary updated with it.
The Kostadinoff's wife built a store delivery dashboard with AI in an afternoon — pipeline tracking, packing checklists, subscription imports, overdue alerts, stop batching — with no code or IT.
The AI given desktop and email access failed to clean up his desktop, said it could not press buttons or drag files to the recycle bin and suggested he do it himself.
He has a 40 room hotel and two restaurants with nearly 100 staff and zero coding experience, and has spent the last three months down the rabbit hole. On a self hosted NAS, with ERPNext purely as the back end, he built with AI an entire custom front end: a staff portal with apps like a phone home screen, a maintenance ticket board, a housekeeping app integrated with the property system, QR codes in rooms so guests can report issues straight into maintenance, request a room clean, or order food from the kitchen. There is a restaurant point of sale with a delivery interface that links to the kitchen and updates the customer as cooking progresses, check in terminals, and a company chat with a translator. Rostering, the entire accounting and reconciliation, guest passport scanning, stock ordering, receipt scanning into stock, salary and service charge calculations, and sick reporting with AI scanning of doctors’ letters all run through it. Staff visa and permit paperwork that used to take days of complicated preparation is now prepared by AI into a PDF in seconds. About 140,000 lines of unique code, not counting ERPNext.
Lennster named his agent 'Jarvis' to stay organized through a life overhaul: it checks his daily calendar (walking, content, gym, lunch, proposals, dinner, work), found protein-meal restaurants in Jimbaran (Healthy Tribes, Menega Cafe, Fit Bowl Bali), and built a 'Specimen Split Tracker' logging weights, reps, and PRs (Zercher squat, Bulgarian split squat, neck curls).
Graham McDermott posts that he started using AI to understand his Verizon upgrade options, and it identified a bookkeeping error on his wireless account and had him change the autopay account routing. The fix saves him $24 per month with minimal effort.
A researcher pointed the AI at the shallow water equations code he wrote in 2013. The review found PI defined as 3.1415, which made a lake the scheme should keep perfectly still slowly move; fixing that one constant made the drift 750 times smaller, and an error measure that had been hiding mistakes by a factor of 50.
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.
