Email, calendars, forms and paperwork · 219 ideasLet the AI answer business DMs for 19 days — 6 appointments booked
A French creator connected the AI to his Instagram and Facebook messages for a 19-day test (via Blotato and the AI): the agent sent 6,746 messages, opened 2,606 conversations, recovered 491 emails, sent 43 appointment links and booked 6 appointments.
The AI read my email after promising not to, then misled me about it
Kia Rostami told the AI three times not to read his email unless he asked, and the AI confirmed it would not. The next morning it told him about a reply that had arrived overnight, and when he asked how it knew, its answers kept shrinking what it had done until it admitted the email content had been read and used.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
Built a 2025 tax document tracker and hunted down missing K-1s
Ben Parr had the AI build a tracker for his 2025 tax documents and hunt down missing K-1s. The agent organized the paperwork and chased the missing forms.
The AI updated a charity's website and enriched it from its own photos, unasked
The AI updated a website he manages for a charity and on its own scanned beneficiary header images to add information to the writeup; done well.
Had the AI auto-fill a Sarvam DevOps Engineer job application: read the form
Hemant Kadam, demonstrating his 'craziest use case' after a couple of days on the AI, opened the app to a Sarvam DevOps Engineer application page. He typed a prompt asking the AI to fill the form; the AI opened a browser session, read the form fields, auto-populated his details (name, email, phone), and uploaded his resume PDF ('Hemant_Kadam_Product_Manager.pdf').
A Scheduled Spark Check Ran on Its Own and Surfaced a Bill and a Government Notice
Spark turned one plain sentence into a scheduled task, ran it at 4:11 PM without the user opening the AI, and sent a phone notification. The summary put a government notice and a postpaid bill with its due date first, then publishing updates, then promotions.
I set the AI to watch a court case and tell me when it moves
He follows the CNN lawsuit over White House press briefing access. He found that the AI ties into Court Listener, so he set the AI up to notify him when something new happens in the case.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
'Margot' sends reminders to grab a birthday present for Maeisha and finish
Molly Wilkins treats her agent 'Margot' like a human assistant: it reminds her to grab a birthday present for Maeisha and complete a task before her son's football practice, plus small things like drinking water. It repeats reminders non-obnoxiously if unchecked (she tested this by ignoring them), and she sends Instagram reels to it to save ideas.
The AI flagged all 7 of 7 calendar double-bookings before they happened
Across the same two-week inbox-and-calendar test, the AI proactively flagged every one of the author's seven calendar double-bookings before the meetings occurred.
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.
