Just came across Screenpipe on YouTube and it looks super interesting. It's an open-source tool that records your screen and audio 24/7, then uses AI to turn it into something useful—like meeting summaries, transcriptions, and even auto-filled notes.

Here's what stood out to me:

• It's available for MacOS, Windows, and Linux, and the recordings are all stored locally, so privacy seems like a big focus. Plus, it's built with Rust, which is known for security and performance.
• There are some cool plugins (they call them "pipes") like Time Tracker and Daily Logger to automatically log your day. They also showed off this Meeting Summary feature, which basically gives you a breakdown of your calls without lifting a finger.
• For content creators, it seems like a hidden gem. The demo showed someone using it to automatically create AI content based on their recordings. That could be a game-changer for people trying to streamline their workflow.

A few potential downsides:

• They mention it’s a 24/7 recorder, which sounds amazing but could get overwhelming if you’re not selective about when to use it.
• It looks like there’s a bit of setup involved, especially for customizing what you want to capture. It might not be the most user-friendly right off the bat.

Overall, it looks like a solid option if you’re into automation or need something to help you with note-taking and summaries. I haven’t tried it myself yet, but the concept seems like a huge time-saver, especially for remote workers and content creators. Definitely worth checking out if that’s your thing!

The parts they make you answer manually, like gender, veteran status, availabiliyt, who referred you, etc.

ehy guys, I was looking for a script or even a web app to automatize account creation in any site, cause for a limitation reason I'm forced to create multiple accounts in a site, i use the tempmail service to create them really quickly so I was looking for a script or app to automate that process, probably something that use selenium to connect to the specific site where I wanna create the account, the API of tempmail or any other temporary mail service and than a random library to randomly generates usernames and passwords. Do you have any link to a script like that, or a third-part web app? Pls let me know, thanks.

In this case if an audit of leave used, which is reflected on a timesheet shown in a pdf, could I automate the information, specifically leave used, to populate automatically to a leave audit spreadsheet?

Thoughts?

I run a nonprofit farmers' market and need to collect sales estimates from all vendors on a weekly basis for grant reporting and economic impact. For privacy reasons my vendors do not like giving this info to our associates out loud, and some onsite staff don't know their sales when we come around to collect it. The effect is that our data collection is time consuming and somewhat inaccurate.

In my dreams we could send a weekly text to a cell # associated with each vendor and they could text back a round number which we could then download, disaggregated, into a spreadsheet, to track over time. The sales estimate would only be associated with a number, which we could then track on the backend to categorize between vendor types (hot foods vs. rancher, etc). My team saves time, we still get responses, it feels more private, hopefully folks accurately report their earnings.

I'm assuming someone else may want to collect info like this for health reasons (texting your blood sugar level every day to your doctor) or volunteer management (texting y/n if you can make it to a shift) or a dozen other reasons.

Is this real? I have a reasonable budget to work within so not necessarily looking for a free solution, but a reasonable one. The problem is every time I google for texting services I get 100% marketing platforms and I don't need engagement to lead to a sale. We have looked into google voice, survey monkey, and every action.

Thanks for any suggestions to make this work!

He walked me through how they built an AI-powered appointment setter that works automatically. It's a machine that monitors incoming messages, updates the CRM and the Google Sheets with customer data, uses AI to send personalized replies, and can speak 12 languages with native-level fluency. It runs 24/7 and can technically make calls to 334M people at the same time.

I mean, there's no way any of us could handle that many calls. It’s got me rethinking my approach to automation. Essentially, this setter can replace Lindy and similar tools because it has better functionality and is very cheap because it's made with just a single automation scenario on the Latenode low-code platform

What do you all think about such tools made on low-code platforms? Can automations like this replace all those expensive paid-for tools?

Hey everyone, any thoughts on what's been going on lately?

Software is about to change forever.

I asked Replit Agent and newly released openai o1 model to build games, website and many other apps.

10 minutes later I had a functioning product/app.

I didn't have to write a single line of the code.

Hello Everyone, I'm trying to do one of two things. I have an app that the only way to close it is through the notifications bar. In the bar it says "Click here to close".

I think I can use notification interact to do this but I need the notification ID

but I'm not sure how to find that. I did read in a few places that it will automatically use the ID of the fiber which makes me think above the notification interact block I should maybe have a block that specifies the app?

I might be completely wrong, I'm enjoying automate but this is my first experience doing anything like this.

I’ve developed the best AI app for TikTok automation – Prove Me Wrong and Get a Free Subscription! The app, called ShortsAuto.ai, makes creating and posting short videos incredibly easy with AI-powered video generation, automatic editing, captions, and easy posting to TikTok

I’ve been starting to see advertisements for resellers who bundle all of the premium versions of AI for a single price of $20.

Here is an example - https://magai.co

What bewilders me is how is this a profitable system? What I also am hesitant about is am I REALLY getting access to all of the different premium AI engines with no downside?

If anyone who has also looked into this can provide me a knowledgeable answer I’d appreciate it.

In workflows where steps can fail, and restarting from the beginning is impractical—either due to high costs or other constraints—a mechanism is needed to allow users to decide whether to retry a step or terminate the process manually. This is particularly useful in scenarios like CI/CD pipelines or internal application flows where failures occur due to temporary resource unavailability.

Workflow with steps and retry/abort in case of error.

We developed a semi-automatic approach using Python and AutoKitteh to build long-running, fault-tolerant workflows. This solution integrates with Slack, providing a user-friendly interface for decision-making, where users can choose when to retry or abort based on real-time notifications.

Workflow control via Slack

The code can be found in kittehub. This repo contains several approached to this problem.

The code of the workflow, activated by Slack slash command:

def on_slack_slash_command(event):
    """Use a Slack slash command from a user to start a chain of tasks."""
    user_id = event.data.user_id

    if not run_retriable_task(step1, user_id):
        return
    ...
    if not run_retriable_task(step4, user_id):
        return

    message = "Workflow completed successfully :smiley_cat:"
    slack.chat_postMessage(channel=user_id, text=message)

The key is in protecting each step. In case of exception, ask the user to manually retry or abort:

def run_retriable_task(task, user_id) -> bool:
    result = True
    while result:
        try:
            task()
            break
        except Exception as e:
            result = ask_user_retry_or_abort(task.__name__, e, user_id)

    if result:
        message = f"Task `{task.__name__}` completed"
        slack.chat_postMessage(channel=user_id, text=message)

    return result

Hello,

I'm trying to figure it out how I can download the image generated on MidJourney with Userapi.ai on make.com

So do I need a module? What am I doing wrong? I don't get it...

From lead qualification/generation to appointment scheduling and customer support our users have already deployed their AI agents and are seeing great results. Who loves being refused and deal with angry customers on a daily basis? No human being, but a robot? Check on autocalls.ai and let me know your thoughts

I’ve built an API that parses complex documents like PDFs and DOCX into structured data, and I’m excited to share that it’s been giving better results than Llama-parse (which, in my opinion, is the current industry standard). Whether you’re working with large sets of unstructured data or just need better extraction accuracy, ParDocs has you covered!

Also, I just launched to chat about it, share updates, and answer any questions you have. If you're curious, check out ParDocs.com and let me know what you think!

I'm seeing posts about RAG multiple times every hour in many different subreddits. It definitely is a technology that won't go away soon. For those who don't know what RAG is , it's basically combining LLMs with external knowledge sources. This approach lets AI not just generate coherent responses but also tap into a deep well of information, pushing the boundaries of what machines can do.

But you know what? As amazing as RAG is, I noticed something missing. Despite all the buzz and potential, there isn’t really a go-to place for those of us who are excited about RAG, eager to dive into its possibilities, share ideas, and collaborate on cool projects. I wanted to create a space where we can come together - a hub for innovation, discussion, and support.

I added columnar data import and document template filling to a natural language programming environment I've been working on since 2021 and it turned out to be quite handy for generating documents for example from csv/excel rows.

Here's a fairly rough demo video: https://youtu.be/uw7VJRogHKM

If the video is unclear in any way feel free to ask and I'll be happy to clarify.

I'm contemplating on productizing this and would love to hear your thoughts especially on:

1. Would something like this serve you better than the existing solutions? Why?
2. What would you like to see added or changed?

Feel free to subscribe for updates here: Document Generation (levlo.com). I'm also looking to connect with potential pilot users.

Hi all, hoping y'all can help me. Every day I receive at least 1 email from the HR tracking software for staff documents getting close to expiry. In this email it has a table listing a name and what documents are close to expiry. What I want to do is: when that email hits my inbox, I want it to be opened, read, and send out emails to each staff listed individually with a template letting them know the documents mentioned in the original email are close to expiry. The name in the email will be the same name in the contacts list so it just needs to cross reference that. Is that possible? I'm willing to teach myself I just want to know where to start.

TLDR: Want to autogenerate an email that gets read and then sends out personalised emails on a template
