Once, a long time ago, a shovel was a marvel of modern technology. Today, a shovel is $3.99 at the hardware store. Who says the same won't happen with robotics ?

I have built Extruct AI – a tool to automate market research of any complexity

Hey, automation fans!

I want to share the Extruct AI that my co-founder and I have been building over the last few months.

Extruct AI is a platform that leverages AI agents to help you automate company research tasks, whether conducting specific market research or trying to fill your B2B sales pipeline with hyper-relevant leads.

At the moment, you can use the product to:

  • You can get a profound company report with zero manual googling. A nice feature is that we automatically find all company profiles (LinkedIn, Crunchbase, Pitchbook, YC, Github, etc), so you can quickly dive there for further research. Here is an example of a company report.
  • You can ask custom questions (or use prebuilt) about companies to research hundreds of companies at once. Here is a demo video of how it works.
  • You can research people by pulling their LinkedIn profiles, e.g., to generate personalized e-mails.

We have a solid roadmap ahead (company discovery engine, customized company reports, company monitoring, etc.). Still, since the current product already provides massive value to our users and business clients, we launched it publicly!

Feel free to ping me in DM with any questions or just to connect! I'm happy to chat with you, learn about your use case, and onboard you to Extruct. Also, DM me if you want a discount promo code.

The first 250 credits are free, no credit card is required.

I used to automate a bunch of stuff writing code, but now I just use ChatGPT 3.5 to generate the code, is that normal? For years I wrote it myself, but, Chat got to a point now where if you ask for code to get generated, it actually does it, and it works.

automate code generation with ChatGPT 3.5?

Automate copying part of a URL in Firefox

Hello,

I'm on Windows 11 and I would like to automate the following in Firefox:

  1. When I'm editing an article about the movie "Film 1" via a form on my website, I would like the program to read the title of that page which is "Editing Film 1 - Website" and extract the part "Film 1" to get the movie title.
  2. The program should then check the availability of the movie "Film 1" on different websites, starting with some-example-shop-on-the-internet-number-1-dot-com in another tab.
  3. On some-example-shop-on-the-internet-number-1-dot-com, the program should enter the search term "Film 1" in a field and click the search button.
  4. If the search result says "We found a movie called: Film 1", the program should click that "Film 1" link. If the search result is "We found nothing", the program should continue with step 7.
  5. Now on the product page, the program should copy a specific part of the URL, the number "1234567" from some-example-shop-on-the-internet-number-1-dot-com/product/1234567/film-1.
  6. The number 1234567 should be copied into the form for "Film 1" on my website, into a template like this: {{Shop 1=1234567|Shop 2=}}.
  7. The program should now go to some-example-shop-on-the-internet-number-2-dot-com in another tab.
  8. On some-example-shop-on-the-internet-number-2-dot-com, the search works a little differently: "Film 1" needs to be inserted into a search field, and only if the search suggestions list "Film 1 (movie)", that link from the dropdown menu should be clicked.
  9. Now being on the product page, the program should copy a specific part of the URL, "studio-name/film-1" from some-example-shop-on-the-internet-number-2-dot-com/studio-name/film-1.
  10. "studio-name/film-1" should now be copied into the form for "Film 1" on my website, into the template like this: {{Shop 1=1234567|Shop 2=studio-name/film-1}}.

What program could I use to do this?

Thanks, cheers and all the best,

Till

Tachometer with history chart for diesel pump

Hi.

Story

Long story short, our family owns a little farm in which we use old mechanical diesel pump. By the pump we keep notebook, when somebody pours diesel, he adds note to notebook how much he poured. When we add each fill up number, it often does not match the number it should, because somebody forgot to add note to notebook.

Idea to automate the problem.

Since it's mechanical pump, it uses shaft to turn the meter. My plan is to glue magnet to shaft and use d-z73 magnetic cylinder sensor to count the turns. 1 turn is around 1 liter.

Where I need your help. How can I use data from d-z73 sensor to create history chart, which could be accesible through the internet.

I have vision of chart which on Y axis has revolutions( 1rev is equal around 1 liter of fuel) and o X axis we would have time. In this way we could check at what time, how many liters of fuel were poured.

Any help, ideas would be appreciated. Thank you and have a nice day!

Automation for sports clubs bookings, spreadsheets, and invoices

I'm working with a client who runs a basketball training club, they do group classes and private training.

I want to make some automations for him that help him run everything from booking, sign ups, and invoices, to make everything a lot easier and more organized.

Here's how we want it to work:

  1. Sign-up: Player initially signs up, using a google form, putting his and his parents contact information and names, that is stored in a google sheet, Easy.

  2. Calendar: Players book in an online booking calendar, they just save a link to this calendar somewhere on their phone. The calendar should show all available group class time slots visually and the capacity/availability of group class time slots. For the rest of the time in between those slots, players are allowed to book in private training 1 on 1 sessions at any time they please.

  3. Past sessions information sheet: I want a google sheet to automatically be filled out based on bookings on the calendar, this google sheet should have the type of training (advanced class, beginner class, or private), who participated, duration of training, date of training, and lastly, comments.

  4. Invoice automation: Information is taken from the past sessions sheet and put into another google sheet that organizes how much each player owes based on training duration and training type (set hourly rates for each training type). This google sheet is then connected to a google doc; an invoice. This invoice is automatically filled out via the other google sheets and sent to the parents via email.

Is this possible all within the google eco-system? If not, what apps would you recommend I use, maybe Zapier? Is anyone kind enough to provide a step-by-step on how I could implement this? I've been trying for a few days now, using AI to help, but still cant seem to figure it out.

Thanks

Roast my automation | Finance tasks in Excel automated so I can play more chess lol

My corporate life is in the financial industry as a Senior Business Analyst. Most of my day is filled with interesting tasks (I invest a lot and the company I'm hired in is an investment company, so I get to analyze a lot of things and sort a lot of issues in areas I'm naturally interested in). Unfortunately - but also to be expected - a small part of my job is routine based and repetitive (and thus extremely boring). This has prompted me to up my skills in Power Automate Desktop.

I obviously can't show the actual files from work, but I tried to replicate my work situation in the example. The idea holds true, and I've implemented this solution (+ a bit extra steps of sending mails with the final content to a set list of mails). The situation at work is not monthly total sales, but some other numbers that we receive from external sources and run weekly, that we can now run daily and thus get more accurate data.

Corporate life is easy if you can make the computers work for you lol. Do you use low-code solutions like Power Automate or UI Path to sort your life at work?

Automating office documentation (PhraseExpress alternative?)

Hi guys! I've used PhraseExpress to automate my documentation and basic workflows at work for years, which allowed me to be faster than my peers with less effort. I tried to use it at my new job, but the current office uses a server windows environment inside the local windows environment. It looks like a Remote Desktop in effect, it's even called remote something. I haven't been able to understand it completely yet. But basically PhraseExpress works only in the local windows environment. I'm not allowed to install anything on the server environment.

This is a major blow to my productivity, and basically I wanted to ask what solutions you guys would think of.

Current thought: just get a keyboard with built in hardware customisable macros (corsair?). What other solutions are there?

Need Recommendations for Automated Workflow between Data Enrichment Tools and CRM

I am not sure if this is the right place for this post, but I am interested in automating workflows between CRM and Data Enrichment (ideally without using Automation Tools such as Zapier or Make.com). I would be open to any guidance on how I could get into automating such workflows.

I am currently looking to integrate Zoho CRM with a data enrichment tool that can automatically update lead information with address, phone numbers, email addresses, and Google reviews and ratings whenever a new lead is generated. I would appreciate any solutions regarding which data enrichment tool would be most appropriate (and why?).

Ideally this system needs to be completely automated, that as each individual lead is generated within the CRM, it automatically is updated with enriched information in the CRM once the workflow is complete. I would appreciate any guidance in setting up this process to be free of manual input. Using simply a website URL to enrich remaining data.
