The newest ideas first.
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.
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.
He just subscribed to the AI and is setting up a Strava link. The AI gives him a weekly training plan based on his goals, his past workouts, his time, and his injuries, and it got to know him fast.
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.
The AI logs into his five patient portals, pulls every appointment into one place, and checks them against his calendar each week. The morning after a visit it explains the after visit summary in plain words and lists the follow ups he owes.
He sends his RingConn 3 wearable data to his AI email address. It sends back a dashboard and tips to improve his health.
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.
His gym opens class bookings at 6am the day before and the popular classes fill fast, so he used to set an alarm for 6 just to book. Now an agent does the booking for him every morning and he sleeps until 9.
Booking swimming lessons for his son sat on a man's task list, pulled from his email by the AI. The AI watched lesson availability on its own and booked a suitable lesson as soon as one became available.
She has been using AI on her health insurance claims, even though she is wary of sharing health info. It found a lot of mismanaged claims that Cigna owes her money for.
He got an $8,000 medical bill. The AI worked out different billing codes he could ask the hospital to use when it resubmitted the claim to his insurance, and the bill came down to $1,800.
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.
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.
Her AI logs meals from photos, tracks workouts, and produced a Week 1 report with average calories, protein, activity days, deficit and pace; it pings her three times a day for water and generates weekly and monthly reports.
Built a macros tracker an agent can log meals into via MCP, so he can say log my normal breakfast.
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.
Grupo Marista uses AI Enterprise agents to analyze hospital claims. Analysis that took 72 hours now takes 4 hours.
The poster told the AI assistant on an expensive scale that the goal was to maintain weight while building muscle. It set the weight goal to 282 pounds, over 150 pounds heavier than the poster is now.
She told her AI, which she calls Galatea, that she wanted to exercise more. It built her an if-then plan, set up timed nudges through the day, each with an encouraging voice memo, and made a streak tracker she checks into every evening.
As an aside in a design interview, the AI designer Alex Cornell describes using his own the AI to track his golf game shot by shot while working toward a single-digit handicap. The AI produces round recaps, shot data and practice breakdowns (segment from 21:40).
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.
