I build mostly for personal and especially internal use at
paperclip.ai unfortunately.... I've done things like:
- Analytics platform for my Whoop,
- a visa/passport application and entry/exit tracker for my nomad lifestyle,
- home automation stuff (massssive time sink with feature after features added. It'll now scan my email inbox for delivery notifications, speak to delivery drivers via the front doors intercom, confirm that driver is expected, visually identify the driver, and open the garage door for the package to be placed inside securely, and lord knows hundreds of other things),
- HR/Accounts/IT/Procurement/Project Management agents for paperclip,
- a wine collector agent (procures wines via ecom stores and a few notable auction houses, collects reviews from me, refines my taste preferences to guide it's automated recommendation and procurement algo),
- a realestate agent that helped me find empty land in tokyo, and is now searching for property in italy,
- lots more.
Can't share most of this stuff as it's not been built for multiple user access, and in some instances is only running on a secured vps requiring tailscale to access.
One thing I do have coming which
@dionizije_fa heard about long ago is an application I've been building to suit an internal need at paperclip, but I'll make widely available (unsure if I'll OSS it or sell it).
It's an piece of software built under the premise of finding, reviewing, judging organisational waste. It's based off Elon's 5-step optimisation principle: Make requirements less dumb, delete unnecessary parts, simplify and optimise, accelerate cycle time, automate.
Specifically it's to question the requirements of all things in a business, judge them, and then delete the part - very delete heavy bias, built in assumption that the system will need to reinstate the "part" 10% of the time due to user feedback and other signals.
The pilot version which I hope I can operationalise soon will judging recurring meetings, status and notification updates (and the work required to generate them), and SaaS spend remediation (finding unused, app sprawl leading to function overlap, etc), and workflows (automated and process driven.)
Specifically, it looks to locate artifacts from the above categories, review them, and recommend delete - BUT - it must have the ability to reconstruct the artifact, when doing so, aiming to revive with a minimum viable version.
The SaaS waste is easy to define - unused licenses are trimmed etc. That's fine.
But the recurring meetings one is kinda fun - it pulls in all details on the meetings since it's inception. Document artifacts created along the way, transcripts from every meeting, etc etc. Determines what the original reason for that recurring was - and if the objective has changed, utility has degraded, etc over time. Fun!
