For a while I was running a raspberry pi with homeassistant to automate my smarthome: turn on/off lights when I’m home, etc. Now just rely on Google Home for this. Also run a camping bot to snag hard-to-reserve campsites

Batch exporting Adobe Illustrator designs to a format ready for copyright compliance uploads. Really boring. Brought a seasonal 14 hours’ work down to 20 minutes. Bonus feature: became favourite team member.

not particularly unique but QoL automations for someone with severe insomnia: - smart lights auto-adjust throughout the day to benefit my circadian rhythm rather than interrupt it - thermostat automations for living room + bedroom in evening/night - automated blinds blackout at night + let light flood in at sunrise

So much marketing lives on automation. One of the biggest reminders for how much we automate was on March 12, 2020 when I had our team at a SaaS company shut them all down. Didn’t want tone deaf comms during the pandemic shutdown. Almost every step in a customer journey has automation behind the scenes.
