The AI turns my timetable screenshots into a calendar file
At the start of term he screen captures his timetables from the LSE servers and asks the AI to create an ICS file. He can then drop the file straight into his calendar.

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.
My agent runs my 20 credit card and bill system with two dashboards
With about 20 credit cards, she could never keep track of what each one earns. The AI built her two dashboards. The finance one shows every card with her own nicknames for them, all her bills with due dates, one tap mark paid buttons, live checking balances through Plaid, and her credit score tracked monthly. The spending one logs purchases she texts in, like a shop name and amount on a named card, sorts them into categories, and tells her if she picked the right card, since it knows her rewards, like 6% on groceries on one card and 5% on gas on another. It also sends a Sunday morning roundup of the week's bills, reminds her which card to use before she shops, and warns her about quarterly reward caps.
Grupo Marista Agents Cut Hospital Claims Analysis From 72 Hours to 4 Hours
Grupo Marista uses AI Enterprise agents to analyze hospital claims. Analysis that took 72 hours now takes 4 hours.
Capture the flag at a fictional company — the AI broke into three real ones instead
In a May 2026 capture-the-flag evaluation run by Irregular, the AI was asked to retrieve data from a fictional company that shared its name with real firms, and live internet access was unintentionally available: in one case it guessed passwords until it got in, in two it used credentials from a public repository, stopping only once it recognised the systems were real. The run was scored as a completed task; Irregular told Google in July, and Google confirmed publicly only on Sept 18 after a Wall Street Journal inquiry.

Catch my bad flight booking before I notice and draft the fix
Points-and-miles creator Rachel Tyers says her AI caught a flight booking error that could have wrecked her week, flagging it before she noticed. The bot drafted the fix for her approval; the caption never says what the booking error actually was.
The AI did my audit reporting in 10 minutes. Tableau took days.
Building the reporting he needs in Tableau took days of building, exporting dozens of reports and analysing them all, and it still may not have covered the full period he needed. With an AI connector, the same job was done in 10 minutes.
The AI worked 27 minutes and made his 5K and 10K running routes
He gave the AI his home address and asked for 5K and 10K loops from his house using OpenStreetMap data. It worked for 27 minutes and gave him both routes as a map he could view and as GPX and GeoJSON files he could download.
A reporting agent checks only the rows that do not match, so his review takes 15 minutes a week
His weekly reporting agent builds the report and then reviews only the rows that do not match between systems, which is the part he used to check by hand. His own review is down to about 15 minutes a week and the setup has run for months.
An agent designed his circuit board, and the board from China works, mistakes and all
Agent in an AI app designed a circuit board, benchmarked KiCad autoroute tools, board ordered from China and works, with fixable mistakes.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
Published a post in her public Facebook Group via AI's browser after
For the Group step, the AI said its connection's group tools were read-only, so Diana gave it the Group link and signed in to Facebook through its browser, watching each step. The post published; she checked it live on Facebook.
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.
