Dental practice booked $241,000 of treatment patients had left unscheduled

A 14 person dental practice on Daniel Island had $612,000 of diagnosed treatment that patients had never booked, and the staff's own AIs (six the AI, four the AI, two the AI) now read each day's patient notes every evening, offer open slots to the longest waiting patients and book on a yes. Of the $612,000, $188,000 of work is done and $241,000 more is booked, and same month bookings rose from 38 percent to 71 percent.

$188,000one time

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.

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 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.

This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.

The AI analyzed my whole genome in 30 minutes for about $5

A Stanford doctor gave the AI his own genome file and a 180 word prompt based on the framework his team published in 2009. In about 30 minutes for about $5, the AI matched the main findings of that team’s work, flagged genes that affect how he responds to some medicines, and warned that his file did not have enough data for disease risk scores.

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.

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.

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.

I built my brother a way to text, browse and play with two head switches

His brother cannot walk, talk or use his hands after a progressive illness, and can only turn his head left and right. Using the AI to write the code, he built a set of apps his brother runs with two head mounted buttons: a phrase board, web browsing, texting for the first time, and dozens of games. The project became a nonprofit that gives the kits away.

The AI filed my FSA claims for me, duplicates checked

A person opened their medical site and launched the AI browser extension. It downloaded every medical claim for the year and built an Excel index, then logged into HealthEquity, checked the EOBs for duplicates and submitted them as FSA expenses. The submissions went through as the person typed the post.

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.

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.

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.

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.
