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.
Railroad CSX embedded Chessie, an AI Studio agent, in its ShipCSX portal used daily by 7,000 customers. Shoppers ask in natural language to track a shipment or get FAQ answers; in the first 45 days over 1,000 customers used it across 4,000+ conversations and kept coming back.
Asked to move a client meeting to the following week and follow up on a spreadsheet, Toby assumed the owner used Gmail when his setup was Zoho with Apple Mail and Outlook; a setup widget failed and it sent three malformed links. Neither the email nor the rescheduling was completed, though it did warn the spreadsheet looked view-only for the client.
Runs LLMs to audit the math in claimed arXiv solutions for his ranked open-problems list; audits already found six faulty proofs that had caused problems to be wrongly marked resolved.
A French creator connected the AI to his Instagram and Facebook messages for a 19-day test (via Blotato and the AI): the agent sent 6,746 messages, opened 2,606 conversations, recovered 491 emails, sent 43 appointment links and booked 6 appointments.
The AI, directed by voice from his phone, made live edits to his website and the page refreshed with the fix.
Several Hiscox employees independently built the AI Studio agents that extract contact information from emails, and the duplication was treated as a demand signal: the individual solutions are now becoming a larger shared business project with data science, technology, cyber and risk specialists involved.
Barron's reviewer Josh Schafer told his AI Josh Jr. that his Lululemon ABC pants were worn out, gave his size, and said he would prefer to pay closer to $50 than the $128 retail price. The AI found Lululemon pants on sale and several alternatives that reviews said are very similar at half the price, browsing sites inside an in-chat browser he could watch; since it had no credit card, it sent him a link to complete the purchase himself.
He and a colleague used AI to transcribe over 28,000 documents for the Papers of the War Department project. They wrote up how they did it on the RRCHNM blog.
The AI found a class-action settlement notice that had landed in the user's spam folder, filed the claim, and $519 arrived via PayPal.
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.
