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 client problem came in by email. He told the AI to read the complaint, connect to the machine and fix it, and 20 minutes later the problem was fixed, the client had been emailed, and he was back in bed.
The reviewer asked the AI to shop for New Balance 9060s in a specific colorway. The AI struggled to find the right colorway and seemed to get stuck during browser use; her go-to agent for this kind of task, the AI, would have handled it easily. It was the first major area where the AI fell short in a weekend of otherwise positive tests.
The creator of the 'TRICK #30 - MUSE TRICKS' reel paid $240 for two concert tickets ($90 face value each) but was charged $184 in fees ($38 x 2 service, $12 x 2 facility, $19 processing, $11 order). Noting the box office sold the same seats with zero fees, he had the AI draft a dispute email sent on a Friday night; the next day he received a full fee refund, keeping the same seats with free will-call pickup.
The AI wrote a PowerShell script that turned a 3 hour manual task into a 10 minute task he can repeat any time.
A dad with no building experience spent a weekend with AI and an $89 circuit board and made his son a talking dinosaur toy. It reads stories, plays the radio, and tells jokes, and it works.
His meetings are recorded with Fireflies. On a set routine, the AI takes each transcript and posts a Slack recap to everyone who was in the meeting, with the action items and who owns each one. A second routine scans his meetings for tasks that fall to him and works out which ones the AI could do instead, then offers to run them in separate sessions.
Graham McDermott posts that he started using AI to understand his Verizon upgrade options, and it identified a bookkeeping error on his wireless account and had him change the autopay account routing. The fix saves him $24 per month with minimal effort.
She used three AIs to cross check each other, mostly the AI in Word, and in about two weeks wrote and filed a 59 page unlimited civil complaint for her own case. The lawyers tasked with that work charge $300 an hour.
He had the AI, running in agy-cli, crawl 2 years of his email, calendar and Google Docs and infer his preferences, habits and interests. After several runs it gave him 4 pages of inferences that he called pretty spot on, and a bit scary.
Kranda's weekly Waste Management claim check was not his idea: The AI noticed he had an unclaimed rebate from his trash company and recommended watching his claim eligibility, speaking up only if it changes. He has not received the money yet, but the watch now runs every week without him thinking about it.
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.
