Heh, a "collection of automation programs". I've also put together something like this and called it "Sentinel". It's not smart, it just does all the repetitive tasks (relentless, 24/7, a human couldn't do it) and any computer tasks that can be broken down in simple steps.
It can farm for content and rewrite it, sort my mail and send replies, start backup and sync tasks, start remote maintenance scripts, notify me by SMS, email or calls, has TTS and voice recognition, can check articles for uniqueness, scan for duplicate files, search for anything locally, create articles from templates, and more.
But it's just a bunch of programs running inside a VM that's connected to the host machine using a few shared folders, LAN and remote desktop - anyone can whip up something like it...
- Jonovono 14y agoSounds cool. You don't happen to have the code available somewhere do you?
- jakeonthemove 14y agoAs I said, it's just a VM with programs and scripts/macros. Thunderbird is used for handling emails, Windows 7 TTS for speech (notifications), Skype for calls and SMS, Firefox for Web tasks, Word (with a ton of macros) for working with text, Win7 search, Ransack and Notepad++ for deep search within the local drives/files, etc. The most important component for me is actually WinAutomation (alternatives - Automate, AutomationAnywhere, others), which makes it possible to easily connect all these programs and run complex tasks. Plus bash scripts on the Linux server, and it works quite well. It's very specific for my needs, though - I doubt sharing the VM would help anyone, aside from seeing how it all works...
- Jonovono 14y agoCool, thanks. Yeah, that's mainly why i'd be interested in seeing it. Working on something that is fairly similar.
