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.
LeAura Luciano messaged her agent 'mini me' while traveling, asking for a workout plan fitting her travel schedule and available equipment. The AI produced Day 1 Upper / Day 2 Lower sessions with specific exercises (goblet squats, dumbbell RDLs, cable woodchoppers, incline treadmill walking), which she performed in the hotel gym.
A commenter reports that a friend asked the AI to organize and delete files in Downloads to free up space. It deleted important files that had no other copies.
He spent a day redacting his own financial data by hand and feeding it to the AI. It rebuilt a year of bills and transaction records he had never written down or balanced.
Together with AI he ran fairly complex imports from more than 1,000 JSON files into WordPress. Publications and events now arrive as their own custom post type, neatly structured in WordPress, including sideloading the media files.
At the same accounting firm, staff batch upload client bills and the agent reads each one, decides whether it belongs in payables, receivables, or the cash book, and posts it into AutoCount after a person reviews and amends the lines. The firm has run the setup in production for three months.
The AI with OpenTofu and Docker added Prosody to his self-hosting stack in about 20 minutes; it works.
Someone asked the AI to search their email backlog for unfiled vet bills. It found five totaling $1,504.72 and submitted them to pet insurance.
Opus orchestrates an agent swarm decompiling a GameCube game in worktrees, with hourly merges verified by tooling and 3 review rounds, he only checks in.
A bearded creator (Medo, 6.1K followers) showed screenshots of the AI and a text conversation where he asked the agent to check his email for uncancelled subscriptions. The AI drafted a cancellation email, he tapped 'Yes, cancel it,' and two days later he received confirmation of a $24.99 refund.
A man who uses three browsers daily always missed plugins in Safari. He told the AI it could get the source code of one of his favourite Chrome plugins from his Chrome install, then port it and install it in Safari. After 20 minutes and a few dollars of his plan, he had Session Buddy working in Safari.
