    What task would you like AI to do for you?

    Hey everyone! I'm in process of building Fleso an AI generated workflow automation browser extension. As an operations manager, in the past I used to always think: "I can't believe they are paying me to do this" and now I decided to build, with my co-founder a way to fix this. I know there are a lot of automations tools out there, but have you tried them? I tried Zapier and thought, this is taking waaaaay too long to even try out. It feels more complicated than doing the actual task. I don't have the time for to go through the learning curve phase. Then, I tried bardeen. Everything I wanted to do was a premium feature. Which was annoying, couldn't even test out what I wanted to do. Tried IFTTT but I needed to have the API for Twitter (which costs money) so not really the best. IFTTT was definitely on the easier side and my favorite experience, but at this point I was still left with: an hour of lost time and no automations. (Also, I tried Make & Imean, and all of these which still didn't work like I wanted to) I'd love to know what are your thoughts on the current solutions? Since we are trying to build something along those lines. What do you think are their main positive points and downfalls? Also, what automations would you start with to test these out and that would let you know if you'd actually want to give them a try? Let's chat! Also, here is Fleso prelaunch (https://www.producthunt.com/products/fleso)

    Would love to have an AI in my terminal, to execute on any app.

    @sentry_co How do you envision that? You give an instruction, an app and the LLM try to execute it? Or something simpler like "find every file that have env variables inside"?

    @eliasthouant Exactly that. Terminal has access to all apps. And all apps are signed in already. So no need to fork over all my keys to third parties etc. Just local LLM executing on my terminal, no internet required.

    How do you solve the problem of glitches? I work with AI a lot - and they periodically glitch - they give out fictitious or false information. And I have not yet been able to solve this problem in my projects and have not heard that anyone has already solved it.

    @alexbozhin Hallucinations are indeed a big issue. I don't have any idea if a workaround exists yet. However, in our case, we try to provide a set of different possible instructions to the LLM and verify that the output of the LLM is indeed executable. You can try to have another LLM verify the workflow, but nothing is bulletproof yet. There is a great post by Chip Huyen that summarizes how LinkedIn dealt with similar issues: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/up...

    Hey there! It's like finding the right automation tool is as tricky as debugging code at 2 am, right? I feel you! Exploring different options can feel like going through a maze. I'd say focusing on automations that streamline repetitive tasks first could be a great litmus test. Cheers to simplifying the automation struggle!
