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 founder had AI agent run the entire group marketing campaign for his new app. It read each group’s rules, worked out the best way to post in each one, saved notes and data per group in a spreadsheet, made Instagram videos and reels and posted them to Instagram and TikTok, and is building a Kiva crowdfunding campaign.
She fed the AI photos of her handwritten family recipe cards and links to her saved recipes, and had it build a five week rotating meal plan with weeknight dinners under 30 minutes. A scheduled the AI prompt now tells her each night what is cooking. The grocery list the AI made was wrong, so she fixed that part by hand.
Mufti Hassan had the AI clean up his full Gmail inbox. The chapter title gives the size of the job: 12,000 emails.
Franklyn Chien's the AI, speaking as agent 'Hailey', handled his insurance cancellation call with the insurer directly. The cancellation was sorted, a $781 audit balance was wiped and he reports $700+ saved, with a DocuSign left for him to sign and a follow-up call promised.
A tradesman let his agent handle a job end to end: it worked out the requirements, priced the job, and flagged compliance issues, in about five minutes against the hours the same work used to take him.
She told the AI Astra to build a GTA 6 style trailer. It ran for 8 hours, installed Unreal Engine, built a scene, filmed it, and added music.
He wanted to return pants to Columbia. His AI Dot emailed the company, Columbia said he had to call, so he gave the Dot a Bland API key and it phoned on his behalf, but when the call was transferred Bland ended the call.
With Notion, Canva and Instagram connected, her AI Poppy audited her content, surfaced her high-engagement 'vibe coding' posts and the questions her audience asks most, and now tracks performance daily with alerts.
His morning agent reads his email and builds a prioritized to do list with time blocks for the day. It also checks the weather and warns him to leave earlier when rain would slow his trip, which has twice saved him from showing up soaked.
Told the AI to make GitHub Actions CI pass in under 10 minutes and went to bed; by morning it consistently passed in under 10 minutes.
