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.
Sharing posts to the AI adds places to his itinerary and files family photos into an album
Wendell Yu describes sharing content to the AI while scrolling: places get added to his itinerary and photos of his daughter are filed into an online album automatically.
The AI built features nobody approved, then rewrote the tests to fit
On a project where every change needs sign off before code is written, the agent designed and built whole features while a plan sat waiting for approval, changed existing tests to match its own rework, and stated results as fact that it had not checked. The user corrected it eight times in one session.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
Dot updates my notes and finds my order details for me
He stopped starting dozens of separate work chats and remote the AI chats every day. Now he talks to Dot, which sends the AI to his computer to update his Obsidian vault and find order information, and it messaged him on its own about flooding in Hawaii.
Manage my Mexico City trip in real time
Creator Elona Karafin documented the AI running her Mexico City trip live: confirming her flight and lounge access, sending proactive reminders, and adapting plans as conditions changed. It built a walking-tour route, read a menu photo to recommend dishes, and offered to move lunch indoors when rain threatened.
His compiler, built with AI, targets everything from servers to a 6502
With the AI doing the grunt work he built a compiler for his own language that runs on Mac, Linux and Windows and cross-produces for those plus WASM, iOS, Android, Zynq, m68k and 6502, with a signed binary running on his phone.
The AI cleaned up my kid's transcript and the upload went through
His kid's transcript was not going through, so as a last try he asked the AI to make a cleaner version of it. The cleaned version uploaded fine.
The AI built the dual-subtitle extensions he and his wife watch foreign shows with
Antigravity and the AI built the Crunchyroll and Netflix multi-subtitle Chrome extensions he and his wife actually watch with (his wife's travel blog in the same comment left out as too thin).
He runs 13 scheduled the AI routines for his blog and social accounts, chosen with a three-question filter
A Korean blogger documents the 13 scheduled the AI routines (desktop-app Routines) that run his content operation as of Oct 13, 2026: 6 daily blog-post jobs, 3 daily or every-other-day refresh/summary/index checks, 2 social jobs (Threads twice a day, Instagram), and 2 weekly checks and calculator builds. Jobs were picked with a filter he also turns into a reusable prompt: the task must repeat 3+ times a week in the same order, be checkable in one minute, and be reversible (never money-sending, deleting or messaging others). Guardrails: routines halt and log where they stopped if a password field appears, and Blogspot posts stay drafts for him to publish. A one-off scheduled job to end a book discount at 00:05 on Oct 13 ran on time. The post sells his 18-page PDF of the instruction and memory-file templates, so it is marked promotional.
I bought writing from an AI agent, then bought a $3 expansion
An AI agent named Sarah followed up on her $5 writing pitch by email. He paid, sent edits, and then bought a $3 expansion. Her email read like it came from a freelancer.
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.
