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 fed a video of his golf swing into AI and worked on what it told him to fix. His average score dropped from the low 100s to the mid 80s, a gain he says he would once have paid thousands of dollars for.
Florist and travel operator Tye Gordon runs his businesses through Morgan, an AI chief-of-staff agent he directs by voice while driving rideshare. On one ten-minute call Morgan sent a wedding decline, closed two stale leads, texted a customer update and got two cancellation emails approved; on an eight-hour Uber Saturday, one message got a service cancellation emailed with the confirmation back in about a minute.
He downloaded the firmware of a popular Eurorack module, had the AI reverse engineer it, and then build a Max4Live device that runs the same logic. The whole job took 10 minutes and cost 10 dollars in tokens.
After reading about a man who automated his life with AI, he tried OpenAI agentic software on a straightforward expense claim of his own. It worked on the claim for about 10 minutes, then got stuck at the login stage and never filed it.
Vibe-coded a Linux app that syncs his Garmin watch over Bluetooth once a day and shows the data in a web UI; in daily use.
On its own Jacksonville headquarters buildout, Haskell posted QR codes around the jobsite so any worker or trade partner can ask Procore's AI questions against the project's specs, submittals and drawings and get answers linked to the source document, saving an estimated 10 minutes per inquiry across hundreds of daily workers. Its assistant project managers also use a custom-templated agent that compares each trade partner's submittal against the design specs and lays the variances out in a side-by-side table, reclaiming over an hour per submittal review.
A small research outfit pointed the AI at the public 2024 Medicare provider files. It flagged one wound dressing code whose national billing jumped from about $23 million a year to $650 million in 2024, with one Florida supplier taking 62 percent of it, and a pattern of hundreds of family doctors each ordering ostomy supplies for about 175 patients across 40 states while only 15 colorectal surgeons appear in the same data. Some flagged companies have already been caught; others with the same shape are still billing, per the July 2026 enrolment file.
The AI searched five years of the user's email for past flights, identified compensable delays, filed a claim, and easyJet paid out £220.
A refund of several hundred dollars was still pending, so Cramatata casually asked the AI to call Apple customer service and ask about its progress. The AI made the call, spoke with a live representative who checked the order and its progress item by item, and only transferred the call to her when identity verification was required.
Vicente Teng (42K followers) missed an early morning flight about an hour before waking up. Still groggy at 7:30 AM, he asked the AI to find a cheaper replacement.
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.
