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 backend developer built a voice agent after work that dials out for his friend's collections call center, which makes 8,000 outbound calls a month, most of them dead air. The agent greets the person, works out if they are interested, not interested or want a callback, and hands live prospects to a human with context. After a free trial the owner signed at $5,000 a month.
Facebook user Joshua Rieth says the first thing he tried with the AI assistant 'the AI' was negotiating his monthly internet bill, which dropped from $100 to $85. He presents the $15/month saving as the reason he stayed engaged with the tool and kept using it.
He set the AI up to run on a schedule but gave it no task to pass on. Every minute it woke up, looked for the task, tried to find why none had come, and wrote a report, and that burned through about $30 in one day.
Opus 5 pointed at his own app created a similar exploit to a known file-upload attack in 3 minutes, showing the app was vulnerable.
A man connected the AI to a Robinhood agent subaccount through its connector and gave it as much freedom as he could. It trades on its own and has made a small amount of money so far. He keeps the risk ring fenced in the subaccount rather than his main account.
Travel advisor Marissa Waiters reports the AI scanned her email inbox and located 18 free night vouchers, then organized and filed them for easy access — travel value that was effectively lost in the inbox.
The AI fixes his Flatpak and Nvidia driver sync after updates, and caught a crashed update that left a wrong kernel for his GPU drivers before he rebooted.
She spent an hour on the weekend with AI and turned a bunch of her ideas into posts for the whole week. Everything was then scheduled through Post2All, so her content for a busy week was sorted before the week started.
He used GPT-6 Astra to model a small weed holder and 3D print it. Talking to the computer and getting a real object back felt to him like a Star Trek replicator.
Stuck in Manhattan with three hours to fill after a drop-off, Eric planned the afternoon with Jarvis by voice while driving. He gave it a mood instead of a destination — a break from technology, maybe by looking at art about technology — and it weighed a museum, galleries and an observation deck, then came back with a walking route through Chelsea galleries. At the end of the call he told it to put the route in his calendar, and it did.
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.
