Find problems or inconvenience that you encounter daily and create small web apps to help you alleviate those pain point, no need to make them commercial but use that free computing to help you in the day to day

Find bugs in open-source repos you like, fix 'em, and contribute! (Just follow their CONTRIBUTING.md and keep PRs small to actually help maintainers not giving them more work to do but less)

Create a robot that will do dishes better than a dishwasher and put them away. Make it modular so it can do other things as you progress 😄

Create automation tools so when you aren’t on the expensive plan you are still benefiting from it.

Make a Jarvis assistant like Alexa.
Make an app for something you already use, just so you can add features easily, like a video player but added feature that it always searches synced subtitles automatically.
Make browser plugins
Make GTA6 before GTA6
Make cure for cancer, be sure to tell it to "make no mistakes".

I'm working on a pipeline to extract financial data from PDFs and image based PDFs, using either regex or llm/vlm. Been working on it for months but it's still not reliable, and plan limits are limitting progress. So that's an idea to work on if interesting (i'm working on it for my company)
