Personally I concentrate on things humans could do, but that they don't have the time to do. Mostly I want to do Intelligence Augmentation through augmented reality. Highlight on a heads up display - food that corresponds to a certain health guidelines/ethical standards by object recognition and searching on-line information - books that might be interesting (again by searching information) or other people the user has known has read. None of these should have to be explictly programmed/configured by the user, the system should pick them up by interacting with the user and other machines. They should also only be done in contexts when the user is looking at the items involved (in a book store/library), and not just all the time.
