Call the hospital about my X-ray coverage and get past its AI to a human
The AI phoned the hospital to confirm insurance coverage for the user's X-ray and escalated past the hospital's own automated system to reach a human who could answer.
A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.

He set up his own site, granu.be, and has the AI make reports from his diabetes data. A health page pulls in his Oura and Nightscout data, and a report page takes the place of the weekly email he used to get from Dexcom Clarity.
Planned a marathon training week (Sept 28-Oct 4) around his coaching schedule
Gideon Akande (verified, 73K followers), training for two marathons while running a fitness business, named his agent 'Mini Me.' A screen recording shows his detailed request: specific runs with distances and durations Tuesday through Sunday, Monday and Friday as rest days, 30-minute warm-up/cool-down buffers and a one-hour buffer after each run. The AI checked his calendar for conflicts, fetched availability, and returned a mapped schedule with exact time blocks per run.
I forgot to charge my bike batteries. Now a dashboard the AI built warns me.
He forgot to charge the batteries for his road bike's electronic shifting before a ride last week. After a weekend of back and forth with AI, he now has a dashboard that can alert him when things need to be charged.
Built a weekly training plan around Tuesday/Thursday VR cardio plus three weightlifting
Marty (MartydudeVR, 6.1K followers), a busy VR content creator, named his agent 'Tom' and asked for a weekly training plan around existing VR cardio on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Phone close-ups show him requesting three weightlifting days scheduled around the cardio; Tom returned a detailed weekly workout plan, asked which days he does cardio, then offered to add the sessions to his calendar.
One person built a race calendar app for run clubs with AI. It is live.
A solo builder started runclub.events in May 2026 with an idea and no code, opening the AI for the first time. Sixteen weeks later the app is in production with 990 commits, more than 53,000 lines of code, and 160 features live, helping run club members connect on upcoming races.
Sign up for my Achilles running shifts on Rosterfy by WhatsApp message
A blind runner has the AI list and add his Achilles running-group shifts in Rosterfy, a platform he finds largely unusable on iOS, simply by sending a WhatsApp message asking to be signed up.
My mom can now take her compression stockings off by herself
Her mom normally needs a care service to take off her compression stockings. With the AI she found a way her mom can do it alone in an emergency, her mom tried it and it worked, and her brother no longer has to come over when the care service fails.
It found me a family doctor, booked it, then booked my referrals too
He had no family doctor and dreaded the admin of finding one. The AI found options online, facilitated the booking without making calls, followed up the emails as they landed, and put the appointments on his calendar. After the visit he shared a transcription of the appointment; the AI put the details into a health dashboard artifact he asked for, followed up the referrals the new doctor gave him, signed him up on those websites, and booked those appointments as well.
The AI overwrote my macro tracking data without asking
He gave the AI a CSV of old macro tracking data and asked it to add the data into the folder where he tracks it. The AI misread the spreadsheet, decided the new data contradicted what was there, and overwrote his existing data without asking.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
My agent plans my workouts from my calendar and my own results, and I cancelled 20 dollars of subscriptions
A man set the AI to pull each week's workouts from training providers he used to pay for, since they post the sessions free but late. The AI checks his calendar for when he can train, offers him two options a day, then records what he actually did and how it felt, and uses that history to scale future sessions. A few weeks in it is saving him 20 dollars a month in subscriptions.

His meal tracker takes agent-logged meals: 'log my normal breakfast' is the whole interface
Built a macros tracker an agent can log meals into via MCP, so he can say log my normal breakfast.
Find a dentist that takes our insurance and book it solo
A dad’s the AI searched for dentists near him for his son, verified which ones accept their insurance on the offices’ own sites, and made the appointment on its own from its web browser, the first time it had done so. He got the confirmation by email and text without calling anyone.
Summarize my graphical Strava trends and correlate them with my Apple Health data
The AI reads the reviewer's Strava trend data, which is normally shown as charts a screen reader cannot use, summarizes it in words, and correlates it with his data from the Apple Health app.
My agent wrote and mailed the HSA letter I had been putting off since March
He had to write a physical letter to his health savings account about a denied claim, and had been avoiding it since March. The AI wrote the letter, attached the invoice for the expense, and mailed the whole thing to the HSA. His only job was taking over for the $2.31 payment. Whether the claim was then paid is not stated in the comment.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
The AI runs my training plan and adjusts it for races and weather
He built a personal fitness display, a website to manage his training plan, and an MCP link that lets the AI control it all. The AI adjusts the plan around his races and the weather.
Merge LoseIt and Garmin into one daily health dashboard with AI
A commenter describes a local desktop app the AI helped him write: a script runs daily to pull his LoseIt nutrition and Garmin workout data into a local database, and an MCP link lets the AI review each day in a small browser UI, give advice, and plan runs or swims toward his goal of losing 40 pounds.
Run a day of health errands: flu shot, benefits signup and an $80 ring discount
In 24 hours the AI scheduled and rescheduled the user's flu shot, found an Oura Ring discount worth $80 in total, enrolled him in a benefits plan while making sure he did not over-contribute to his HSA, and summarised two podcasts into his notes.

His lifting coach lives in an AI app and the numbers come from scripts, not the model
Since March a lifter has run his training through an AI setup he built for himself: it imports workouts from Strong and Hevy and health data from Apple Health, builds and audits his program, and sets each week's targets with a reason. He learned not to let the model do the maths after early versions gave different answers on different days, so every number now comes from small tested scripts and the AI explains the result. Safety rules live in code too: a medical check before any program, pain flags that keep exercises off an injured area, and weekly targets that freeze once accepted. He has since shared it as an open source plugin.
My weight loss project reads my Apple Health and I am down 110 pounds
He set up an AI project as his weight loss coach with access to his Apple Health and Google Drive, and he logs everything he eats with it. It found him the cheapest tirzepatide, which he ordered. Six months on he is down from 301 to 190 pounds and runs a 5k a day.
