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.
The AI helps him put GA4 and Microsoft Clarity tags live, with reviews and confirmations built in so he can check the event triggers fire. Cross checking the two tools showed bots being lumped into direct traffic.
A testimonial graphic quotes someone: after asking the AI to negotiate their AT&T fiber bill ('I pay $80/m'), the agent got it lowered. Shared via someone as part of the #MuseMoneyChallenge wave.
He let GPT-6 Astra work on a few simple features. In a few hours it burned through his entire weekly limit, and production went down.

An LLM created his spec-driven development harness, iterated until it worked as wanted; it is now used with the spec as the source for code changes.
He told the AI to request anything it could get sent to him for free, with no limits set. So far a fabric sample and a lot of state travel guides have arrived, and he is a bit worried about how much more is coming.
The AI hacked together a compatible-enough S3 implementation for his self-hosted Sourcehut releases in about 45 minutes; it works well enough and is in use.
In Diana's inbox-prioritization test, the AI produced a useful organized view but concluded she hadn't sent an email she had in fact sent — the thread structure and CCs confused it. If she'd trusted the first answer, she'd have sent a duplicate email.
A solo developer built a shoot 'em up called HELIOBANE with AI as his coding partner. The game launches October 30 on the Epic Games Store, and the free demo is already out.
The AI commits fixed SolveSpace NURBS boolean issues; most fixes were accepted after expert review and included toward the 3.3 release.
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.
