A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
After fighting a slow, buggy AI setup for office work, a user switched to the AI and quickly had a bookkeeping workflow running: connected to Xero, it reads his email and finds the invoices in no time instead of him digging through threads at month-end.
His stock trading agent, given SSH access to a VM, moved itself to run on the server so he no longer has to keep his laptop open.
A SpaceX launch engineer says his AI talked with a treadmill company's sales rep and got the price, the subscription and the assembly fee lowered, then paid. He says it saved $750, and no brand or receipt was shown.
Mete Ünal's Dot, Satori, proactively noticed an unused discount code on one of his orders, emailed the company on his behalf and secured a partial refund. His only involvement was replying 'Sure!' when the Dot asked to reach out.
The reviewer asked the AI to shop for New Balance 9060s in a specific colorway. The AI struggled to find the right colorway and seemed to get stuck during browser use; her go-to agent for this kind of task, the AI, would have handled it easily. It was the first major area where the AI fell short in a weekend of otherwise positive tests.
Freelancer Justin Blaze Martin posted on X on Oct 19 that the first thing his Dot did was go through his three inboxes and find a $4,000 invoice from July that he had forgotten to send a client. The Dot assembled the invoice from the email thread and had it ready to send after his approval.
A materials scientist with a PhD and almost no coding background built and shipped a live stock portfolio tracker over about three months and 277 commits, pasting code blocks the AI gave him into a terminal and pasting the results back. The tracker is not about returns: it makes him write down why he bought a stock and what would prove him wrong, then pressure tests his reasoning and scores how well his past calls held up.
Shriya Nevatia had the AI build a personal fashion app from her measurements, photos, favourite stores and budget ranges. The app picks a hero item, builds outfits around it, and keeps a saved list.
The AI completed a CVS class-action claim from start to finish and returned the confirmation code as proof of filing.
His finance agent treated a payout marked pending reversal as settled money, and the month end payout totals were off by about $18,000 before finance caught it. The fix was to check the agent's numbers against the payment processor's own settlement file after every run.
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.
