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.
He runs AI with DeepSeek on his own project. It started by opening issues when it found problems; he has since given it the access to submit pull requests with the fixes, and it now does both.
His mostly nonverbal autistic son can read sight words. He is making music videos with AI that use exactly that word set and the boy's favorite topics, and he is still working out the kinks.
A man connected the AI to a Robinhood agent subaccount through its connector and gave it as much freedom as he could. It trades on its own and has made a small amount of money so far. He keeps the risk ring fenced in the subaccount rather than his main account.
Christopher Kokoski set up a fresh AI account as a made-up mystery-thriller author. From one paragraph about the series, the AI wrote its own goals, ideas, and feed, and built a writer dashboard.
The dia typesetting tool from 1999 failed to compile on modern Gentoo. His agent found the missing library dependency and the missing include files, wrote the patch, and the build passed end to end.
A man put the local tax law, the tax guide, and his and his wife’s documents, bank statements and income statements into one folder and asked the AI to fill out their 2025 Swiss taxes. He says there was nothing to fix, and he submitted it.
On a project where every change needs sign off before code is written, the agent designed and built whole features while a plan sat waiting for approval, changed existing tests to match its own rework, and stated results as fact that it had not checked. The user corrected it eight times in one session.
His new Kasa bulbs would not talk to Home Assistant, and the problem had sat open for eight months. With the AI talking directly to the devices, they now work, a fix he says he could never have written or fixed on his own.
A video summary was made for others to use in their teaching. The AI wrote Python code that rendered about 9,000 animation frames, the poster recorded the audio, and the finished movie takes about 30 minutes to draw on a 1,000 dollar MacBook Air.
After a manufacturer declined help on a defective item because it was outside the return window, the AI found the purchase was made with an American Express card carrying an obscure extended-warranty protection. It submitted the claim on the author's behalf and obtained the refund.
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.
