That’s neat! Funnily enough, my next foray into coding (after OPL) would be scripting timelapses on my Canon PowerShot with CHDK [1] — wish I’d thought of doing it with a Psion though. [1] https://chdk.fandom.com/wiki/C

I spent 3 hours today carefully “engineering” a complex prompt. I ran it on a loop, then fed the results back in to my database. The 3 hours I spent has saved my business ~$15k in costs.
