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 shipwithmuse automation recipe has the AI build an Instagram content studio: the agent clusters the user's last 100 posts into content lanes, builds an ideas dashboard, and runs a weekly scheduled trend check.
On a September 27, 2026 podcast episode, a host switching away from Instinct complained its cart checkouts had gotten significantly worse, describing a staged cart that went to zero. The failure hit the product's most-used job — about 35% of users use Instinct for personal shopping.
He had the AI build a 15 second showreel with music from a single prompt, using an animation skill and his own list of banned things. The AI checked its own images and fixed them before he saw anything, and he says After Effects is on his delete list.
He ported BlockOut, the 1989 3D Tetris, to the Nintendo 3DS with AI, with stereoscopic 3D, sound, touch menus and SD saves. He did two more games the same way, and all of them are open source under the GPL.
A business owner's lead profile runs every Monday on its own. It formats his warm leads, finds cold leads that match his criteria across a rotating list of cities and niches, then digs into each business to find what he is missing, owner names and exact contacts, checked against business registries. He gets one standard weekly report: best fit clients, outreach details and the facts to judge each lead.
Tell the AI to set up an app on his server and it does it all and leaves a documentation note in his Obsidian vault; setup effort near zero.
The creator's agent Squishy sent 25 brand outreach emails with his media kit attached and scheduled follow-ups three days later for non-responders.
Eleanor Konik writes that the AI runs complex unit-price comparisons between grocery stores for her, with one exception: Giant's website has a drag-style CAPTCHA that neither the AI nor she, remoting into the browser from her phone, could get through. The comparison workflow works elsewhere; Giant remains a hard wall.
Used the AI on the 20 dollar tier in a weekend to build good enough coverage on Floci features to make it useful to him; others then continued the work.
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.
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.
