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 Wrote a Bot to Automate My Telegram Channel – It’s Now Open-Source, and You Can Use It Too!

Hey r/automate, I’ve been managing a few Telegram channels that automatically pull top posts from certain Subreddits, using IFTTT for the automation (you’re probably already familiar with it). But I ran into another issue: these posts felt incomplete. They had just the post title and a link to Reddit, which looked a bit plain. Plus, they didn’t include any hashtags that would help organize or boost engagement.

So, I decided to create a bot to transform these posts into something more informative and discoverable, and I wanted it to do this automatically when added to the channel, because I'm a lazy person lol.
Anyway, Here’s what the bot does:

  • Summarizes Links: If a post contains links (even YouTube links), The bot generates a quick summary of them and adds it to the end of each post, so followers of the channel can get the main idea without watching an hour-long video or opening a link that contains a lengthy article.
  • Adds Hashtags: It generates relevant hashtags for each post, making them more searchable. You may ask why adding hashtags? Because When someone searches for a hashtag on Telegram, it shows all public channels using it, making it easier for new users to discover your channels.

The bot has helped my channels gain more visibility, bringing in more viewers through hashtag searches. And now, I’m sharing it with you all as an open-source project!
You can try the live version by searching for @HyperTAG_bot on Telegram. To see it in action, check out @Coding_Reddit, where HyperTAG bot automatically adds summaries and hashtags to top posts fetched from u/coding using IFTTT bot.
You can check out the code, customize it, and even host it yourself from the GitHub repo. It’s a great way to bring some automation and discoverability to your own Telegram channels! The bot also has other useful features, like generating quick summaries for any link you send—perfect for long articles or videos, so you don't have to necessarily add it to a channel to use it.

I’d love any feedback, questions, or suggestions you might have. If you find it helpful, a ⭐️ on GitHub would mean a lot!

Can I automate ordering a product when available!?

Hello.

There’s an incredibly difficult store to order from because the products finish immediately after they are restocked.

Is it possible to automate the order where when in stock, the cart is filled with the product and a notification is sent to alert me to finalize payment? Or am I being too ambitious?

Current LLMs Aren't Pushing the Boudaries Because They Can't

If we are completely honest, LLMs are fundamentally inhibited by compute ability. As a monolitic model, you are going to overcompensate with inefficient computing as the overal appeal of computing in a centralized/clustered manner quickly loses substance because there's an increase in inefficiency the larger the model grows. As Sam Altman himself made clear, - to paraphrase - they can't ship new products cause there's a mismatch of an increase in model size and computing efficiency.

For AI to become a success, it must maximize compute use with a distributed infrastruture that is practically dissimilar from any Blockchain based attempt. This means that maximizing compute use in a distributed infrastruture will quickly correlate with an increase in nodes in the network which is essentially how Aevov.ai is attemting to overhaul the approach to Artificial Intelligence where the nodes in the Aevov network can grow to a theeretical 100 billion nodes in a similar nature to the human brain.

The billions of neurons powering the network are fundamentally simulating the trillions of connections of neurons in the human brain.

Wityh such computing prowess, this fundamentally new network can vastly outmatch the capabilities of current AI systems.

The power of such a network also implies an increased level of efficiently that maximizes computing use while minimizing bottlenecks that would generally hinder the progress of the system.

As a founder, my belief is that such a system must closely align with the way the human brain works to maximize throughput in ALL cases of multimodal ability.

Phone farm for instagram growth

Hey everyone,

I’m an IG growth expert and have been using API-based software for most of my projects until now. But I’m diving into the world of phone farming and I’ve recently got my hands on 75 phones that I want to set up for automation. While I’m familiar with the IG growth strategies, managing this many devices on a physical farm is new territory for me.

What I need help with:​

  1. Software Recommendations: What’s the best software for managing/automating tasks across this many devices? Ideally, something that allows easy control of all the phones remotely.
  2. Which phones do I use?: Any advice on which phone I can use best?
  3. Network Configuration: I want to avoid bans on my accounts. Should I be using proxies or rotating IPs across the phones, and what’s the best way to manage that?

I’ve been deep in the IG game for a while but always handled things via API, so this is a different scale for me. Any help from someone who’s done phone farming would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Facebook automation

Hi, everyone! 👋 I'm looking for help automating my social media process. I want to scrape posts from a Telegram channel, save the images and captions, and then automatically post them on my Facebook page. Ideally, I’d like this setup to run continuously so I don’t have to manually post each update.

If anyone knows any tools, scripts, or methods to do this smoothly, I'd love to hear about it! 🙌

Can you automate subtitle with inputs creation?

I'm a full stack web and app dev.

Im wondering if its possible to create an automated program where I just need to input text and the script or program will put it in the end of the shorts

Basically this is so i can post-edit my shorts to put the value of pokemon cards.

I dont need automation with editing the video, just the part where i need to input a price and the program will put it as subtitle for the last 5 seconds of the video.

Can AI figure out how to format Excel files based on a template?

I have a template for how all the financial statements we produce should look like. Just by looking at it or navigating in it, all my colleagues know what the font size should be, where we typically want page breaks, in what situations we use bold font, when we typically should insert a page break, what row height we use when and so on. The rules are not written out, people just absorb them by looking at the template and try their best to mimic it. I'm sure most don't notice every single detail, but most do pretty well.

I can't help but wonder if there's some "AI" out there that I could ask our IT department to set up, so that instead of me and my colleagues spending time on the looks of the financial statements, instead can spend time on the content, and then we could set up an RPA process or something that uses "AI" to edit the financial statement to look like our template shows it should. What do you guys think?

I know we could specify each of the maybe 100 things we need to do, to go from the financial statement we start with, to the one we end up with after everything's formatted. Keep in mind that doing that job also takes time, and we got to keep updating the "rules". If we instead could just focus on making the template look like we want, and then the "AI" on it's own can figure out what then needs to be done to the file we're giving it would be amazing. We've kind of waited for that kind of technology to show up, so we don't have to define and keep updating all the rules.

Happy for any input you might have

I built a shopping search engine that pulls products from everywhere on the internet using natural language

Link: BlushSearch.com

It is basically ChatGPT meets the Google shopping tab.

Using LLMs, it is now possible to search and filter for products in ways that were simply not possible with the traditional keyword-based search like in Amazon or Google shopping.

Give it a go, would love to hear your feedback!

Automate Your Social Media Posts with AI – Save Time & Boost Engagement 🚀

Hey everyone!I’ve recently built an AI automation flow using Make.com that I think could be a game-changer for website owners and marketers. It automatically connects your website’s RSS feed and publishes posts on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn – all using AI-generated content! 🎉Here’s how it works:

  • RSS Feed Integration: Connect your website’s RSS feed to the automation flow.
  • AI-Powered Content: The AI generates captions, hashtags, and even images based on your blog posts or articles.
  • Auto-Publishing: The posts are automatically published to your social media accounts, saving you hours of manual work.

💡 Who is this for?

  • Website owners who want to keep their social media active without spending hours scheduling posts.
  • Digital marketers looking to streamline their content distribution process.
  • Entrepreneurs or small business owners who want to boost their online presence but don’t have the time to manage multiple platforms.

I’m offering a free trial for anyone interested in testing it out! I’d love to hear your feedback and see how this can help you automate your social media efforts.👉 If you’re interested, feel free to DM me or drop a comment below, and I’ll send you more details!
Looking forward to hearing what you think!

TurboReel: Tiktok and Shorts Automation Tool

Hey folks,

I'm excited to share something I've been working on recently: a video engine for generating TikToks, Shorts, and Reels.

It uses LLMs (currently GPT) to generate scripts, search for images, and provide a narrator's voice. Finally, it syncs everything together and renders the video.

Included features:

  • Video editing

  • Narrator voice

  • Captions

  • Search and sync of related images

By the way, it's open source :)

Options for automating a workstation

Hey, there~

I'm looking at options to automate or at least make it easier for some operators to lift a stack of steel sheets without them damaging them (or themselves). Since they won't be putting the sheet at a fixed position and the space they have currently is very small, I don't consider a robot arm to be a good option. Any ideas on what it could be used?

Any suggestion is highly appreciated

I was wondering if there is a software that orders new stocks if inventory is low, and provides updates via slack on customer orders or invoices, and automatically orders preplanned meals and coffee from nearby restaurants for retail employees?

AI that can move info from a website to a spreadsheet

Almost every morning I pull data off of a website and put the information (contact info, address, etc) into a spreadsheet for my business. However, I have to manually select the data I want. Is there an AI i can run off of my PC that can do that for me?

Training the AI Builder to handle all of the invoices of my company

I trained the AI Builder to automatically process the invoices of my company using Power Automate Cloud and the inbuilt AI model available.

Premium capabilities can be bought on the platform for 15$ a month which to me is crazy cheap. There is a cost (AI credits) associated with the flow, but if you receive less than 157 invoices a month, you can automate the handling process for only 15$. Do you use Premium capabilities yourself?

I MADE AN AI TO TALK DIRECTLY TO DATA!

I kept seeing businesses with tons of valuable data just sitting there because there’s no time (or team) to dive into it. So I built Cells AI to do the heavy lifting.

Now you can just ask questions from your data like, “What were last month’s top-selling products?” and get an instant answer. 

No manual analysis—just fast, simple insights anyone can use.

I put together a demo to show it in action if you’re curious!

https://reddit.com/link/1gfkros/video/jsj2pi52vvxd1/player

If you could ask your data one question, what would it be? Let me know below!

Set up a camera on social media 24/7

We are building a social listening tool Ezpromote.co where you can set your parameters and get all related posts mapped in one place, to have all information on hand to feel the pulse on related topics, nevertheless you can automatically engage within the posts.

As it is in the MVP stage, wonder does any in this group would see such a tool useful? Check it out!

Best for all.

I Built an AI job search assistant that actually works!

Hey,

after getting laid off, I found myself drowning in job applications. LinkedIn, Dice, company websites – it was exhausting and demoralizing.. .

That's why my friend and I created Wobo (wobo.ai) – an AI recruiter that automates the entire process. But Wobo goes beyond just matching keywords on your resume. We use LLMs and a series of specialized questions to create a detailed "persona" of you, capturing not just your skills and experience, but also your personality and how you approach different situations.

Here's how Wobo works:

  • Gets to know you: We analyze your responses to reveal your work style, how you handle challenges, and what motivates you.
  • Finds jobs you'll actually love: We go beyond basic skills matching to identify roles that truly align with your personality and preferences.
  • Aces those tricky application questions: Wobo uses your "persona" to answer those personality-revealing questions in a way that showcases your best self.
  • Writes personalized cover letters for EVERY application: Wobo uses your persona and its understanding of each job to write amazing cover letters for every application, so you can get more interviews.

We've been developing Wobo for over a years and have 14,000+ users. One user recently told us that Wobo gave him back the time to spend with his daughter – that's exactly the kind of impact we're hoping to make.

Think of Wobo as your personal job search assistant, working tirelessly in the background so you can focus on what matters most.

Have questions about Wobo? Ask me anything! I'm happy to answer them.
