One of the most unexpected AI applications I've seen
AttentionWizard is definitely one of the most unexpected AI applications/start-ups I've seen. They simulate of humans visually process web sites in order to optimize their layout.

AttentionWizard uses advanced artificial intelligence algorithms to simulate human visual processing and attention. Our software instantly creates an “attention heatmap” of your Web page that predicts where real people would look during the first few seconds of their visit.
And this is what it looks like for a Google Result Page:
