Big Idea
The argument in one line.
Agents with access to your phone, browser, computer and camera can now do chores that used to cost real money or hours, and most of them start from one pasted prompt.
Who This Is For
Read if. Skip if.
READ IF YOU ARE…
A Claude or Claude Code user who wants a quick list of concrete, recent things to try this week instead of another abstract AI trend piece.
Someone who pays for internet, flights or coaching and wants to see where an agent can cut the bill without a lot of setup.
A builder looking for small product ideas, like screen-pointing tools or vision-based picking, that came from a single tweet and a few prompts.
SKIP IF…
You want a deep tutorial on any one tool. Each hack gets about 40 seconds and the video points to the description for prompts.
You need verified results. Most claims come straight from social posts the host relays without testing them himself.
TL;DR
The full version, fast.
The video lists thirteen current AI uses. An agent can phone Comcast and cut a bill by about $500 a year, Claude can tune a slow gaming PC, and one prompt can send deletion requests to data brokers under the right privacy law. Other picks include an offline Survival LLM, a Big Arrow screen pointer for agents, ASD-STE100 prompting for plain writing, Claude in Apple CarPlay, flight price tracking in Google AI Mode, Claude Code remote control from a phone, interactive Google AI Mode tools, Claude as a tennis coach, vision-based picking, and Claude in Chrome workflow recording. The pattern is to hand the agent a messy real-world task, then keep the paper trail.

Atomic Insights
Lines worth screenshotting.
An agent that phoned Comcast, ignored upsells and cited a cheaper fiber competitor cut one user's internet bill by almost $500 a year.
A gaming PC that felt slow had a stack of small faults: stale SSD firmware, RAM below rated speed, and the wrong cable capping the monitor resolution.
PCs are slow in odd ways because parts from many vendors are never tuned together, which is exactly the kind of cross-checking an agent does well.
One prompt can send privacy-law deletion requests to Apollo, ZoomInfo, RocketReach and a dozen other data brokers, citing GDPR, CCPA or PIPEDA by where you live.
Having the agent draft those opt-out emails in your own account leaves you a dated record if your data leaks later.
Survival LLM bundles gigabytes of offline reference material with a small local model so you can ask questions in plain language with no internet.
Big Arrow lets Claude Code or Codex draw a giant arrow and text on your Mac screen instead of telling you to click a button you cannot find.
Asking a model to write in ASD-STE100, the controlled English of aircraft maintenance manuals, strips flowery vocabulary and trims token use.
Claude's CarPlay voice mode turns a long commute into an interactive podcast you can steer with questions.
Google AI Mode can track flight prices from a plain-English trip description and email you when fares drop below its historical threshold.
Claude Code remote control means a stalled job on your home machine can be checked and unblocked from your phone, cutting idle agent time.
A phone video of your swing plus open-source pose tracking lets Claude do the work of a gait or tennis coach who charges $150 to $200 an hour.
Vision models that draw bounding boxes around ripe flowers show the same pattern works for any picking or sorting job with enough labeled data.
Claude in Chrome can record you doing a click-heavy task once and then repeat it, which the host says replaced his daily routine.
Takeaway
Hand agents the chores you already hate
WHAT TO LEARN
Each hack takes a boring, paid or tedious job and gives it to an agent with the right access, then keeps a record of what it did.
Give the agent a goal and your real facts, such as your current bill and a competitor price, and it can negotiate with a human rep on your behalf.
Ask Claude to audit a slow machine end to end, because the cause is often several small mismatches across vendors, including something as cheap as the wrong cable.
Cite the privacy law that applies to where you live in every deletion request, and have the agent draft the emails in your own account so you keep proof.
Offline models paired with a local reference library give you answers when the internet is down, which is worth setting up before you need it.
Tell the model to write in ASD-STE100 or a similar controlled style to cut flowery wording and spend fewer tokens.
Use voice mode on commutes and remote control from your phone so agent time and your own dead time stop being wasted.
Use Google AI Mode price tracking for flights and its interactive builders for learning, since both draw on live search data.
Film yourself and let Claude pull out pose and stroke data, which gives coaching-style feedback for pennies compared with a $150 to $200 hourly coach.
Record a repetitive browser task once with Claude in Chrome and let it replay the clicks.

Here are a list of AI hacks that you can use right now to improve your life. It's the most fun you'll have with your clothes on today, guaranteed. Also, you can find prompts to reproduce all of these results in the description.
Just click the Maker Zero link below. First, you can let AI call your internet company and literally save you $500. This is Peter Yang.
He asked his Grok bot to call Comcast and lower his internet bill. And the bot just told the rep that a competitor had a much lower price, turning down three upsells and answering a bunch of random questions about the weather.
which led to lower prices and far faster internet. He says that it is almost $500 a year in savings. You guys can do this with Grokbot, Muse, or whatever other agent platform you're running.
How about speeding up your PC or Mac for free with Claude Code? I like extra money, don't you? This fella's gaming PC was just kind of weird.
He spent a bunch of money on it, and it just was way too slow. Things that used to be lightning quick took a lot longer than he was expecting. And so he thought, why don't I give this machine to the machine?
And he gave it to Claude Code. And Claude found a bunch of problems. He made the SSD speeds a lot faster.
His RAM was like 1 .5x. And then ultimately speaking, at the end of it, Claude found that he was using the wrong cable to his monitor, which resulted in really crappy, like hard to see screen.
This all resulted in him basically getting a monitor that was like 3x as good simply as a result of changing a small cable. The reason why this happens with PCs in particular is because They typically involve the interaction of parts from a lot of different companies, and these parts just aren't natively optimized.
And so you can actually have Claude like figure out the native optimizations, and you can make all of that sweet, juicy money back. Do you guys get spam calls? I get like 500 a day.
What if you could use AI to remove those? Well, this fella here got really pissed at all these spam companies that are selling his email address and personal details. So he wrote a single prompt that told his agents to remove him from all of the data brokers.
Now, in case you didn't know, data brokers are companies like Apollo, ZoomInfo, RocketReach. These sorts of businesses will scrape your data off the internet and then sell your name, email, and phone number to virtually anybody who pays for it, usually up -and -coming companies that are trying to make some money. And so what this flow does is it finds every company's official opt -out page, and then it writes a customized deletion request that quotes the privacy law where you live and where they are domiciled.
So if you are European, first, I'm sorry. And second, that's GDPR, CCPA if you're in California, maybe PIPEDA if you're in Canada, as I am. And then it also saves all these emails for you, which is good because if your data ever gets breached later on, you will actually have a record that you could use legally to protect yourself saying, well, actually, I asked that all this information had been removed two years ago.
Anybody here love prepping? Well, I love a good prepping around, turns out there is a large language model, or AI, called Survival LLM.
It's a free app that puts an AI and an emergency library on your computer, basically gigabytes and gigabytes of Wikipedia articles on literally anything you want, except for me. Don't know why I'm not in there, but I'll fix that soon, I'm sure. It has medical guides, so if, I don't know, you're in some post -apocalyptic AI Terminator 2 scenario, you can ask a friendly robot how to heal your arm.
You can also find US military survival guides, and more. I actually really like this.
I'm not super doomed AE or anything like that, but I do think that it's worthwhile, at least having like a first aid kit. And rather than saving just Wikipedia, which is quite difficult to work through, why not save Wikipedia plus a tiny large language model optimized to read it? That way you can just ask it questions in natural language and then basically get whatever you need in seconds.
Okay, how about this? You know, one thing that I always want more of, it's giant arrows on my screen. You ever ask Claude or another agent for help, like peeking around a user interface, and it's like, oh, click this button.
And then you're like, yeah, but where's the button? Well, this solves that completely. This fella here, Franz Enginehofer, made a free tool called Big Arrow.
This lets Claude Code or Codex basically draw a giant freaking arrow and a bunch of text on a Mac screen. The whole idea is... now when you chat with you know your agent rather than you have to kind of parse out where to go your agent just like shows you with a giant freaking arrow and boy is that is that a very big arrow so yeah really not much else to say if you guys want a giant arrow pointing at on your screen this is where you go i love claude but i hate reading other people pretending like they wrote something that claude did and so Claude -isms really piss me off.
And so I'm always looking for ways to make the content that Claude generates for me seem more human. Well, turns out, uncle Andre Karpathy has given us the answer. And the answer is to tell AI models, whether it's Claude, Codex, or, you know, another agent, to write using ASDSTE.
This is an old aircraft repair manual style, which basically prunes all of the flowery vocabulary that Claude and other models are more commonly using these days. And as a result, you get extraordinarily simple and stoic answers. And the best part is you also save a little bit on your token bill.
Do you love texting and driving? Boy, do I have something even cooler for you. It's clotting and driving.
And you can do that now with Apple CarPlay. If you guys didn't know, you can actually just call up Claude or another AI agent on the phone nowadays. Claude in particular on October 29th got like an Apple CarPlay integration on your iPhone.
So while you're doing these long haul drives, you can rip questions to Claude. I actually do this all the time. And it's basically like an interactive podcast.
Anybody here that has a commute that's like more than maybe 20 or 30 minutes one way. This is also a great way to learn new things because just like you're chatting with like a buddy or a friend or something, you can chat with Claude and have it teach you things about whatever subject it is that you want to have. taught to you or how about this you can actually track flight prices by email with google's ai mode don't know if you guys knew this but you guys can actually just use like google's built -in search describe your trip in plain english and then just say track these flight prices for me and then google will actually monitor the ups and the downs of the prices and when they get below whatever it considers a reasonable threshold relative to the historical price they will tell you and so anybody want to go down to malta well guess what i got some tickets the point that i'm making is you guys could probably save 30 to 50 percent on ticket prices here.
As somebody that travels a fair amount, I'm doing this for virtually every major destination that I'm currently going to. Did y 'all know you can also just start clod code with your phone nowadays using remote control? I don't know how many of y 'all are clod coders, but I'm clod coder numero uno.
And one thing that really frustrates me is when clod is in the middle of something on my home computer, and then it runs into some sort of blocker or issue. And in the past, you know, I'd come back home, let's say after a lunch break or something, and I'd be like, wait, you haven't even made any progress on this? What the hell?
Well, I don't have to deal with that anymore. I can actually just have Claude on my phone, okay, using the Claude remote control feature. And while I'm out at the gym or whatever, I could just tell my agent, hey, what's up?
Is this thing done? If it has any issues or any blockers, I can then deal with it to minimize the total amount of time that an agent is not running for me. Have you guys tried using Google's AI mode?
It's actually really cracked. And this was way back in August, by the way. I just find so many Google updates don't actually make it to me until well after they've been made.
So if you have any questions, search. The feature that, you know, gives you answers has a custom interactive builder for specific scientific queries. And so, for instance, if you were to search the words pH scale, you'd actually get an interactive pH scale.
in this AI overview, like a legitimate scale. You can then ask a follow -up like, hey, could you show me what, I don't know, like lemon looks like in the pH scale? And this AMO could actually build a tool for that question.
This is something you guys can already do with your AI agents, but the fact that it's Google, the fact that it's free, and the fact that it's also like based off of actual data out there, because this scrapes the search page, means it's more accurate. And it's a wonderful learning tool if you guys are nerdy like I am. I just love learning about the pH and fruit.
How about like sports coaching? Have you guys ever done this? You're like running and you're like, man, my right hamstring.
really hurts for some reason. And so what you do as a professional runner in situations like this is you'll go to like get a gait analysis and then some fellow will look really intensely at your upper thigh area and tell you that you're contracting muscle X when you should be contracting muscle Y. Well, in case you didn't know, you can just do all that with Claude now.
Yeah, you can literally take a video of yourself with your phone. playing tennis or whatever. And rather than paying a world -class coach, okay, maybe $150 to $200 an hour, you can legitimately just give this out to Claude.
Claude will find a bunch of libraries that track your knee position, your arm position, a bunch of like bounding boxes around your strokes and stuff like that. And it will tell you, ladies and gentlemen, that you suck at tennis. Believe me, I suck at tennis.
How cool is it that you can now do this and you can do this for pennies on the dollar? I mean, like, I feel really old just thinking about kids that are going to be born into today's world where they could just ask ai give me a running analysis and it will happily do so did you know you could use the same technology with smart glasses i don't know if y 'all have like meta glasses or ray -bans or maybe something open source and then have ai actually like pick things out in your environment for you using vision recognition technology.
And so this is a startup called OneShot. And, you know, a few days ago, the guy that owns it posted a video from a greenhouse full of a bunch of flowers. I don't know their name, but basically the video, as you guys could see, shows a bunch of these bounding boxes around flowers that are ripe.
And so the ripe flowers are the ones that you actually pick. You can apply this to like an actual company production line and you can get 150 to 200 % the revenue by picking the right flowers. And so obviously you guys can't all pick.
the right flowers, because who the hell flower picks nowadays? Probably not the people that are watching this video. But the point that I'm making is this works in virtually any industry right now, so long as there's enough data to tell you which flowers are ripe and which ones aren't, or which packages to pick up and which ones to leave, or which weights you can pick up and which ones you should not.
You guys can build something like this yourselves legitimately just through a couple of text prompts with Claude or another agent. Have you guys tried automating your work in Claude recently? Well, if you guys use the Claude in Chrome extension, you can now actually record yourself doing something.
Just click this little record icon in the extension panel, and then it will just look at where your mouse is going and what buttons you are clicking and then legitimately do it for you. So I don't know how many of you guys have like click heavy jobs, but I have a very click heavy job. and i legitimately just went through a couple of the tasks that i do on a daily basis clicked record and then moved my mouse around and it just replaced me completely i feel more obsolete than a blockbuster membership card as you can do a lot more with ai you can ask it to make you music videos you can ask it to build you simulations of societies you can ask it to furnish your interior office really the possibilities are limitless hopefully you guys learned a couple of new cool use cases today and as mentioned you guys can grab all of them down below in the description just the second link if you like this subscribe have a lovely rest
