Email, calendars, forms and paperwork · 213 ideasMy Dot went through 15 years of marketing mail and unsubscribed me
In PCMag's five task test, the Dot went through more than 15 years of the reviewer's marketing mail, built a spreadsheet of over 700 senders, picked the ones worth dropping, and clicked through their unsubscribe pages itself. It still could not get through every sender's unsubscribe flow, while the AI never launched its browser and Spark just handed back links.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
File my Korean resident tax report on HomeTax
The AI completed and filed the user's resident tax report through Korea's HomeTax system.
The AI built me a dashboard that tracks 1,000 bills and their hearings
She used AI to build a dashboard that scrapes LegiScan for the roughly 1,000 anti-trans bills her team tracked last year, pulling each bill's room number, hearing time, and latest action. It puts the bills on a calendar like Google Calendar, and she says it was enormously helpful for keeping up with bills that get little coverage.
Call my home insurer, get a human on the line, then ring me
A Reddit user needed to change something on his home insurance but faced the insurer's press-1-press-2 phone maze.

Let the AI answer business DMs for 19 days — 6 appointments booked

Claimed she hadn't sent an email she had in fact sent; trusting
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.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
Ask the AI, and the event lands on my calendar

Reviewed his week, found a Thursday flight-vs-briefing-call conflict, and rescheduled the flight

Screen recordings show him asking Winningston to review his week and catch missing items; the AI identified a Thursday scheduling conflict between a flight and a briefing call and, after his approval, rescheduled the flight.
His agents send real letters for him, disputes and a gym cancellation included
