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 camping in southern Utah woke up to three urgent messages from the AI telling him to get back to town, even though he had not set it to watch the weather. He left, and says he would have been stuck in the desert otherwise.
Had the AI convert several thousand firewall rules to FortiManager global rules.
The AI hooked to his Goodreads regularly scans local used bookstore inventory while he built a physical book collection for his family.
He runs a five level system where the AI Design makes his Instagram carousels, from a basic prompt up to a full design system with AI generated images and a looping video cover. The first carousel made this way reached 4,500 views with 89 saves.
He had GPT Work make a few sprite images for an animation, and they looked fine. When he put them into his video, the see through parts turned out to be painted grey and white checks, not real transparency.
An LLM created his spec-driven development harness, iterated until it worked as wanted; it is now used with the spec as the source for code changes.
Gave the AI and the AI performance targets for a port of Dos Navigator, went to bed, and woke up to a fast Swift file manager he now enjoys using, especially for image previews.
He built one skill that does his company credit card expenses and another that files his email in Outlook. Both were manual jobs he hated. Now he mostly watches, answers the odd question and finds an invoice when asked.
A user runs an AI named Reaper against his credit card debt: the balance went from $8,400 to $7,912 by day six, with daily progress reports from the bot. The paydown is small, tracked and reported like a coach with a ledger.
Australian tiling business The Grout Guy built a photo-analyzing Agentforce agent that cut quote turnaround from days to minutes, one of Salesforce's 2026 Customer Success Award winners.
