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 left Twitter in 2022 and had wanted his archive in the Day One journal app ever since. The AI did the import in an hour, and that time included backing up his databases first in case anything went wrong.
Marketing agency Truppel used an agent inside Clint to answer clients faster after 3 months of missing targets. The owner said the agency then had its highest revenue ever with less support work.
Another user describes the AI’s phone work. It called AT&T and argued for a discount because his service is poor where he lives, staying on the phone with real people across multiple transfers and departments for 98 minutes, and got the discount. The amount is not stated. His other two cases from the same comment are recorded separately where they stand on their own.
His doctor's booking site is hard to use, so the AI checks it every hour for him. It lets him know as soon as an appointment is available.
A travel advisor used AI for client quotes and purchases. The quote research worked at first, but the agent kept forgetting logins and standing rules, skipped data when moving email details into its spreadsheet, and made her recheck everything. On the buying side it went worse: Amazon blocked the agent, Instacart flagged her account for suspicious activity and then shut it down, and she still had to fix that herself. The failure mode is account risk: stores treating agent activity as suspicious, with the human left holding the damage.
The AI set up 5.1 surround streaming from his Linux desktop to Steam Deck via Moonlight, near one-shot apart from human speaker checks.
The AI created a promo video for his arbi.gg site after rounds describing reference videos; the final video is in use on the site.
On day 19 of using her AI Mila, the agent offered three beginner low-impact workout options built around her garage equipment — she did all three — and keeps weekday workout reminders running.
He recorded a Short in his car. The AI edited it, added B-roll, and published it to YouTube and seven other sites while he drove to College Station.
The AI with FreeCAD and MCP designed three useful parts, a printed OLED and ESP32 case, a milled hotend mount and a pen mount, all of which worked on the first hardware revision.
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.
