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 someone testimonial graphic quotes Barron's reviewer Josh Schafer: he uploaded his credit-card statement PDF to the AI, which flagged an Adobe subscription he did not realise he still paid for. Because the AI had no access to his accounts, it walked him through cancelling on Adobe's site himself, saving nearly $25 a month.
A creator had the AI map his household's staple basket, then price it at every store within a two-store, 20-minute-drive rule. Sam's Club plus Aldi came out about $32 per basket cheaper — roughly $600 a year — with itemised trade-offs.
Host Alex reported that his AI designed and ordered the wristbands for the show's AI Engineer sauna meetup. The design-to-purchase loop was completed by the agent alongside his other travel tasks.
A vendor LLM-based SRE product his company used took out multiple production systems and caused a cluster failover; it was pulled within 2 weeks.
A man had a problem with his HP Omen gaming rig that he had lived with for years, because tracing it in the Event Viewer was too tedious to finish. Working with AI CLI, with AI allowed to run PowerShell to diagnose, the job was painless and the problem was resolved.
He uses an AI plugin to monitor returns on his accelerator board orders. It messages him on Telegram when the return window is about to close or prices move.
Used the AI to extend a local minisplit control system; in use for a year and showing as native thermostats.
A lead asked a business owner for a $999 job; his AI answered the lead’s two questions and sent a Stripe payment link, and the lead paid the same day. Speed-to-lead, handled end to end by the bot.
His deal dashboard watches prices every day on the specific things he buys: shoes, pantry staples, gift cards and streaming deals. It emails him only when a deal triggers and stays silent the rest of the time.
He used AI and the AI to build a setup that automatically made one LINE sticker a day. He stopped the setup once he was happy just having built it, and the stickers stay on sale in the LINE Store.
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.
