My agent scans for jobs daily and applies to the ones I pick
Commenting on the 26 use cases post, he says he uses AI to find and apply to jobs. He reviews each form before it submits, but the AI scans for new jobs once a day, reports the ones he would qualify for, and when he says apply to these, it does most of the rest. It remembers his preferences, like salary range. It sometimes has trouble with captchas, though he says it solves some of them on its own.
Agents helped him build a catalogue site for his historical murder stone research
Agents found sources, produced summaries, and helped build murder-stones.org, a catalogue site for his own historical research.
Rebuild my business website in one Saturday and kill the $300-a-year builder fee
A non-technical owner scrapped a Squarespace setup costing about $300 a year, described the site he wanted to the AI Design, refined it in plain English, and had his business site - work examples, service area, contact form for quotes - live on free Netlify hosting by the end of one Saturday.

My agent picks five recipes from my own cookbooks and fills my Ocado basket
A man gave the AI access to his Ocado account and digital copies of all his cookbooks. The AI built a database of his recipes, picks five for the week inside his budget including delivery, puts the ingredients in his basket and booked the delivery slot on its own. It also tells him which book and page each recipe comes from.
My coding agent stored prices as floats. 3 invoices came out a cent off.
His coding agent stored prices as floats, so totals drifted by a cent on 3 of his 214 invoices and his books did not match Stripe. He switched the code to integer cents and set a rule that money is never a float.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
The AI put together my music video from 42 stills and my song
He wrote lyrics with AI, made the song in Suno, then had the AI plan a stills list and assemble the video. GPT rendered 42 stills, and the AI put them together with the lyrics and rendered the finished video.
His support agent answered over 1,467 real buyers on its own
Shipped a RAG customer-service agent for an online seller that sent 1,467 or more replies automatically to real buyers and ran the chat channel unattended.
The AI wrote the script for my orchid pots. The printer made them.
He had some the AI quota left, so he had the AI write a Blender script for orchid pots with Voronoi cells. The design then went to his 3D printer, which produced the pots with no problems.
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.
