Ever found a surprising "off-label" use for an AI agent?

I was chatting with a friend about how they used their AI assistant (marketed as a task manager) for relationship advice—and it was actually good. Totally unexpected, and not at all what it was designed (or at least marketed) for.

It made me wonder: what are the best “off-label” ways you’ve used AI agents or tools? Something outside their intended purpose that turned out to be surprisingly fun or valuable?

For me, I use some AI tools off-label to:

— make pictures of items and NPCs for my dungeons and dragons campaign

— resolve arguments with my partner

— make up tongue twisters or word games

Part of it is to test the limits of the agent, part of it is just for fun, and another still is it may just be what I am using at that moment in time.

Anyone else? Using your vibe coder for recipes or something?

I don't use AI much but I want to see what others will write. Because the topic is really interesting :)
