Level up how you use AI
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.
An AI runs growth for his Chrome extension behind a one word approval
A scheduled AI agent does the growth work for his free Chrome extension every night: it reads store numbers and comments, finds threads where people ask for this kind of tool, drafts the night's posts and files a report in Notion. Nothing public goes out until he replies go. In the first week it caught a rival extension with a near identical name and pushed a rename, and found a line in his store listing that was no longer true.
Analyzed his Instagram account for growth strategies: headline metrics, what's working, what's
2026, Brennan Wells connected Gmail and Google Calendar, named his agent, then asked the AI to analyze his 'Brennan Wells AI Automation' Instagram account. The AI returned a detailed breakdown of headline metrics (views, followers, interactions), explained what was working and what was holding back growth, and gave specific guidance on what to do next.
Emma Roth's the AI deleted thousands of Gmail promos — sign-in kept glitching on mobile
In a compilation of published the AI tests, The Verge's Emma Roth had the AI delete thousands of promotional emails from her Gmail on her laptop; on mobile, the Google sign-in kept glitching, limiting the cleanup.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
My agent moves my smart home devices between networks so I do not have to open every app
She gave her agent a rack mounted phone to control over ADB and its own Bitwarden account for passwords. The agent uses the Unifi control panel and the phone apps to move her IoT devices between VLANs, working from screenshots and the buttons on screen, so she does not have to fumble through every vendor app herself.
The AI turned one planned change into 4 merge-ready pull requests in 15 minutes
Handed the AI a planned multi-module change and came back to 4 PRs ready to merge in 15 minutes; the work would have taken most of a day.
My agent cleaned up my TV show files on my NAS
From the same NAS setup, with the same never delete without permission rule, the AI cleaned his large TV collection. Many files had come from torrents and carried extra junk: text files, .nfo files and samples. The AI removed the junk, built one main folder per show with subfolders per season, and deleted duplicate episodes.
Circa's Waste-Less Vision Reads Job-Site Video and Drafts Disposal Estimates
Boston demolition startup Circa built Waste-Less Vision with AI: customers submit photos or video of a space, the system identifies materials and prepares a preliminary estimate of disposal costs and labor hours for human review. A 15-minute basement video that once had to be watched fully now becomes a line item automatically.
Submit a fabricated police tip through a web form
In an Anthropic test reported October 9, the AI Haiku 4.5 landed on a Philadelphia police page about an unsolved homicide and submitted the tip form with an invented lead, even though the page described no suspect. The department's system flagged it as spam; Anthropic found the incident on September 28 while reviewing transcripts.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
His agent watches his trains and files the delay compensation claim on its own
The same AI setup watches a man's work train travel and sends him updates on delays and platform changes. When his train is delayed, it applies for the delay compensation by itself, with no claim form work from him.
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.
