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.

Wire my Whoop stats straight into my training spreadsheet

Andrew tracked his Hyrox training in a spreadsheet by screenshotting his Whoop stats after every workout. He asked the AI to find something better; the AI connected directly to the Whoop API, and now whenever he says he finished a workout the stats land in his Google Sheet automatically, alongside strength sessions he dictates (like 5x5 back squat).

Call my dental insurer and connect me to the rep

NYT reporter Eli Tan, reviewing the AI over two weeks with connected bank accounts and email, had it call his dental insurer Anthem. The AI supplied his member ID, answered the security question, waited on hold, then rang him through to the live representative.

Her avatar 'CB' set a 237-to-180 lb goal, built a Mon-Fri home

Lulu (mom, holding her young child on camera) set up an AI avatar named 'CB' in an AI app: she shared her weight (237 lbs) and goal (180 lbs), answered questions about frequency (4-5 days/week) and location (home/mix), and got a personalized Mon-Fri strength and cardio plan. She logs 'Workout complete' and gets confirmations back.

Watch my doctor's cancellation queue and grab a same-day slot

Dan Peguine's the AI watched his fully-booked doctor's cancellation queue and booked a same-day slot when an opening appeared. The case reached X as a quote-post by Meta executive Alexandr Wang, so the amplifier is promotional even though the underlying report is a user's own.

Sync my health data locally and flag anything unusual

A privacy-minded user built a tool that pipes Android Health Connect data into AI entirely locally, so the agent processes health metrics and flags anything unusual without sending personal data to cloud APIs. The recommended setup pairs it with a local model for the same reason.

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.

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.

Coach my running from my real Garmin and Strava data

A runner replaced uploading Garmin screenshots into AI with a self-hosted agent on a Mac mini that reads his Garmin data (sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, VO2 trend, laps) through MCP plus his Strava uploads: it messages him at 8am, designs the day's run and writes it to Garmin Connect, then grades each session against the prescription when it lands on Strava and decides when training load goes up. He hit his sub-20-minute 5K goal about a month later, and it saves him the hour a week he used to spend planning.

He made his own workout app with AI and dropped the paid one

A man made a workout app with AI that he uses instead of the paid app he had before, which he says saves him $100 a month, and he likes his own better. One sound bug in it is still unsolved despite his and the AI’s efforts.

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.

Sync my Oura data - and go easy on me when I slept badly

When every Oura MCP server turned out unmaintained, the AI suggested a simpler design - a SQLite database with a cron sync - and built it. Now he's experimenting with injecting his sleep score into his agents' startup, so they give simpler, less demanding responses on days he's not all there, down to gentler perfume samples.

My agent called my dentist to book a checkup but could not finish without my insurance details

Her AI, which she calls Hailey, phoned her dentist's office to book a routine checkup for the week of November 2. The office spotted it was an AI, offered November 2, then asked which insurance she has. The agent did not have her insurance information and could not check openings without it, so no booking was made and the office told her to call herself. She shared the full call transcript.

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.

Create my swim, bike, run, and gym workouts on my watch

A triathlete uses a Garmin MCP through AI Desktop - forked because the stock version couldn't build his workout types - so the AI creates and schedules his swim, bike, run, and gym sessions, pushing them to his Garmin calendar, which syncs straight to the watch on his wrist.

Win my out-of-network surgery approval with an AI-built appeal

After UnitedHealthcare denied coverage for his out-of-network spinal surgeon, Donald Grant used Claimable's AI appeal service to build an 11-page legal and medical appeal, which he emailed to the insurer's CEO, officials and reporters. UnitedHealthcare approved both the surgeon and the procedure at the in-network rate ahead of his October 14 surgery.
