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.
Negotiate three bills in one hour and save $2,715 a year
Peter Yang's agent Locke negotiated three bills in one hour: Verizon from $85.48 to $70.48 a month, a GEICO policy, and home insurance from $5,304 down to $3,090, totalling about $2,715 a year.

Build my client's production clothing store, synced to their ERP
A solo developer built a women's clothing brand's production WooCommerce store with AI writing most of the code: a custom block theme matched to the client's React prototype, real-time CommerceML sync with their 1C ERP (including patching a stock parser that silently dropped nested per-warehouse counts and cleaning up roughly 1,000 orphaned variations), and zero dollars in platform licenses. Two client revision rounds of about thirty items each cleared in days, and the whole build took weeks instead of months.
Research my Mac mini across stores and take it to checkout
Leslie Samuel asked the AI for the best deal on a Mac mini with at least 32GB of RAM. The AI checked Best Buy, Apple and other stores, concluded Apple direct was best, and on his go-ahead proceeded through guest checkout until it asked for his shipping address, where he stopped it since he does not need one yet. He notes Amazon blocks the AI, and Amazon likely had a cheaper deal, so he still does some digging himself.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
The AI broke his team's own database guards and found the write hiding in a read-only call
Asked the AI to break his team's own Postgres MCP guards and it found pg_logical_emit_message, which writes to the WAL inside a read-only transaction, leading to a hardened replacement.
Organized 80GB of Google Photos and videos over a month
After a month with agent 'Bingbong,' daily.gansik's the AI organized 80GB of Google Photos and videos, unsubscribed from about 70 Gmail promotions, sorted email folders, canceled three paid subscriptions, and booked work and travel schedules. The author noted HIPAA, FERPA, and NDA obligations block workplace use.
Agents wrote all 6,000 lines of my classroom Raft tool. It found a bug in my lecture notes.
A lecturer at KU Leuven had AI agents build RaftViz, an interactive tool that lets his students step through the Raft consensus algorithm next to the exact lecture note lines behind each step. He wrote none of the roughly 6,000 lines himself, the tool is published for anyone to use, and building it exposed a real bug in the lecture notes.
Negotiate my Comcast bill down to $60 a month
The AI negotiated the user's Comcast bill down to $60 a month, a saving of about $288 a year.

His governed agent system checks production logs daily, files bug reports, and deploys twice a day
A developer runs his own repos and production server under a written constitution file in every repo. Automated runs check production logs daily and file bug reports. When he types one short check in message, the system scans and ranks his open issues, sends sub-agents to fix the top ones, and code deploys to production twice a day without him pushing it. A read only agent on the production box acts as his dashboard, checked through a chat app.
Booked reservations on non-English websites using dates, accommodation, and Someday shortlists
Serina had the AI book reservations on non-English websites without relying on translation, using her known dates, accommodation, and Someday shortlists to organize recommendations and complete the bookings.
