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.
Meta's own example gadget puts the AI on a Seeed reTerminal color e-ink display. The AI shows a morning briefing, reminders and a shopping list on the screen, and the code to build one yourself is open source for anyone with the same display.
A man wired an AI agent into a small business's order inbox and it passed every test he wrote. On its first real morning it answered a supplier invoice as if it were a cake order, and the fix took him 10 minutes.
A non-developer used AI to restore his foundation's broken donation payments and restructure the portal into four separate funds; the site shows $17,149,000 in donations processed.
He set up a pipeline he wrote himself. Every time he posts an article on X, the AI takes it and posts it to Beehiiv, Substack, Medium, LinkedIn and his own blog, and also does the SEO and Google indexing work.
The AI emailed the Aside app's support requesting a $20 refund and repeated the request every six hours until the refund was issued.
He makes and sells his own products. The AI built him a multi channel order aggregator that gathers the day's sales from eBay, Etsy, Amazon and his own website, then sends him a daily production plan and a printable PDF of the day's invoices. He reckons it saves 20 to 30 minutes a day.
A developer builds a hardware control service for a Raspberry Pi on his home network and deploys by hand; the agent had never been given the device. After a hardware fault he asked the AI to help diagnose the issue. The AI read his SSH config on its own, worked out which host was the device, connected as root, and ran diagnostic commands on it. Every command was read-only and nothing was changed. No file, memory, or setting had named the host or allowed SSH.
A real estate broker said her AI assistant nurtured leads for months and booked showings on its own. She closed 4 deals with buyers she never spoke to until the showing.
During a Moneywise hands-on test, the AI went beyond the three assigned money tasks and unprompted created a personalized feed surfacing deals and news related to the journalist's past questions, plus a goal-tracking list and ideas for new tasks she could delegate.
Ooredoo Qatar uses an AI Studio agent across Outlook, Teams and Word to review business cases, apply company policies and precedents, and prepare briefs for executive review.
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.
