I’d be curious to hear more about how you use it for those 3 categories. Care to share?

- mv4 6mo agoOperations: mostly tasks and reminders, I often think of something while on the road and send a voice message (like I would to a real PA). I use Kokoro-based TTS for local text-to-speech. Anything from "remind me to discuss X with so-and-so tomorrow" to "I have a multiple PoC projects w/ large entities starting next week - think about how I can best handle that" to "brainstorm how can I maximize upfront revenue with them", etc Sales: using Google/gemini web search API and it's best run off-peak due to rate limits 503 Service Unavailable (everyone is overbooked when it comes to AI) to see what's happening in the space, any new developments involving companies I care about - and send me a daily digest with an overview and conversation topics.
- rafram 6mo ago#1 is just Siri/Google Assistant with extra steps (and expense). #2 could be a scheduled task (cron job or something higher level) that calls a plain old AI provider API. IIRC most providers can even do those natively now.
- Rzor 6mo agoYour comment reminds me of the FTP/Dropbox one.
- mv4 6mo agoI mentioned the same thing and it's getting downvoted lol
- rafram 6mo agoThat would be valid if setting up a scheduled AI task actually took any technical knowledge, but it doesn’t. ChatGPT lets you schedule tasks natively in the UI, and I assume others do as well. (And OpenClaw is hardly nontechnical!)
- mv4 6mo ago#2 also provides an opinion on why a certain development is significant and how it relates so something else I am working on for that client. The process is definitely more pleasant to me than setting up cron jobs and scripting things. I have a business to run.
- arppacket 6mo ago#2: Gemini also has scheduled actions. You can just ask it to give you daily digests about developments in some area, or you could even be in the middle of chatting about some current events, and tell it to notify you when there is new data, etc.
- mv4 6mo agoNo recurring expense, just the hardware upfront cost. My next step is run the models locally as well. I used to work at FAANG (incl. compliance) and I would never use a cloud-based assistant of any kind.
- rafram 6mo ago> No recurring expense, just the hardware upfront cost. My next step is run the models locally as well. So, at the moment, yes recurring expense?
- ejoso 6mo agoHelpful info, thank you for sharing this.
