The AI asks 12 questions and builds your gym plan in about 5 minutes

The founder of the Gym Commitment app connected the AI to it through a custom MCP server so the AI works as the trainer inside the app. In a real test, a user described his goal and schedule, the AI asked up to 12 questions, searched 1,872 exercises, and pushed a 4 day plan to his phone in about 5 minutes, only after he approved it.

Find Manhattan foot doctors who take my insurance, with phone numbers

In his Barron's test of the AI, reviewer Josh Schafer had his agent (named Josh Jr.) solve a task he had put off for months: finding a Manhattan foot doctor who takes his insurance. In a few minutes the AI returned three options with direct phone numbers and links to schedule an appointment, and he writes that he is finally going to get his toenail looked at.

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).

Built an interactive workout tracker app ('DAY 1 UPPER PUSH') with weight

Angel Almenarez Jr. posted screenshots of an AI-generated workout tracking page built by the AI: 'DAY 1 UPPER PUSH' with exercises (Chest Press 4x8-10 Machine 120 LB, Incline Press 3x10-12 Dumbbell) plus an ACTIVE TRAINING BLOCK (Week 1, Week of Sep 21, BUILD phase) with a 4-day split (Upper Push, Lower Quads, Upper Pull, Posterior Chain) for logging weights and charting progress.

The AI made my meditation album. I play it in Plexamp.

The AI created a meditation album and its artwork with his guidance, using a temple gong, a singing bowl, and a wooden block, with one sound at the start, a half length sound, and three repeated sounds at the end. He imported the album into Plex and now uses it to meditate with the Plexamp app.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It built my 45 minute run workout and sent it to Garmin Connect

He had the AI take a 45 minute run from a chat and save it as a structured workout in his Flow State calendar: a 10 minute warm-up, six rounds of 3 minutes at 5:00/km with 2 minutes easy, and a 5 minute cool-down. The AI sent it to Garmin Connect, then added pace targets to the warm-up and cool-down parts and updated the same Garmin workout with no duplicate.

Planned 4-day-a-week workouts synced to his calendar, ordered fragrance-free size-3 diapers, and

Crawford Collins (verified, 1.1M followers), a busy new dad, personalized the AI as 'Atlas' (fox avatar) and used voice commands while caring for his infant son. Atlas generated an efficient 4-day-a-week workout plan synced to his calendar, found and ordered fragrance-free size-3 diapers (approved on screen), and when grandma was watching the baby, found a date-night sushi restaurant (Yasu Beverly Hills, Sushi Note) which he booked.

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.

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.

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.

The AI sends me a coaching email every Sunday for my races

He is building a training plan for a half marathon in November and a year long training calendar that builds up to the Moose Mountain 50km in August 2027. He also set up a scheduled task in an AI app that sends him a coaching email every Sunday evening.

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.

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.

The AI ran Blender and built my dental design tools

A dental worker had the AI run Blender on his own computer and write Python add-ons for his design work. It built a tool that turns a shell into a based model, one for basic aligners, an automated baseplate designer, and a custom impression tray designer. A fifth add-on, for copying dentures, did not come out as well.

Coach my marathon prep and keep my fundraising on track

Reality-TV personality Cory Wharton documents training for the NYC Marathon using his AI 'Anthony', set up as a world-class marathon coach (#metapartner video). Anthony provides his weekly mileage plan, sends check-in notifications, tracks completion in a Marathon Prep Tracker (shown progressing 8/10 to 10/10 miles), and helps strategise fundraising that reached $11,309.52 — 282% of his $4,000 goal for the Children's Heart Foundation.

Be my trainer and nutritionist across my watch, food log and scale

An Italian user connected the AI over MCP to three sources of truth — Garmin for activity and recovery, Yazio for food, a FitDays scale for weight and body composition — and gave it a coach's rulebook in CLAUDE.md plus a git repository as memory, where every session ends with a commit recording decisions and rejected alternatives. Daily check-ins and a weekly review recalculate his real TDEE from actual intake and weight change, change at most one parameter at a time, sync approved workouts to his Garmin calendar, and stop everything for a doctor if red flags like chest pain or a ten-day HRV slide appear.

The hospital AI made up my procedure consent in my notes

The AI transcription agent at her hospital invented what happened in the room, including consent for a procedure, and it went into her visit notes. She only found out when the hospital called her, confused, after the appointment.

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.

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.

Coached a 30-day 'train like a pro fighter' challenge: structured plans, breathing

A Meta Connect-stage carousel featuring creator Nina-Marie Daniele (Nina Drama, via someone, 2.5M followers) shows her setting a goal to 'train like a pro fighter' with her AI avatar 'Drama Queen.' A Days 1-7 video diary shows a structured plan (warm-up, interval sprints, tire lifts, assault bike), track intervals with AI breathing coaching, a recommended Tempeh Grain Bowl for 40g protein, sleep-score checks, and gym work (punching bag, battle ropes). Comments were hostile to the 30-day p

I asked the AI for a reminder. It cancelled the appointment itself.

In its morning briefing the AI flagged a doctor appointment he had booked weeks ago, and he told it to remind him to cancel it later that day because a work briefing now clashed. The AI went into his email, found the confirmation, saw there was a $150 fee for cancelling within 24 hours and a cancel link, and cancelled it before he had seen any of that.

My agent checks every day whether the gym I want has opened

Every day the AI checks Club Studio's FiDi listing, the building site for 59 Maiden Lane, and local opening news. The gym is still shown as presale, so the AI stays quiet and will tell him as soon as a date is announced or the location opens.
