I’m building ScriptTap, a no-root Android automation app for user-controlled phone workflows. The app lets people create scripts with taps, swipes, routines, screen-aware checks, OCR/text detection, image/pixel checks, variables, logic, and AI-assisted script creation. The technical side is hard, but the trust side may be harder. ScriptTap needs Android Accessibility permission because user-autho…

AI Agent Orchestration: Proxmox Automation, OpenAI Data Agents & Azure Serverless Runtime Today's Highlights Today's highlights focus on practical AI agent applications and robust deployment strategies. We delve into building a secure AI admin for Proxmox, explore OpenAI's internal data analyst agent, and examine Azure Functions' new serverless runtime for agents. I didn't trust an AI with my Pro…

Discover how AI, automation, and next-generation DMTA workflows are accelerating drug discovery with expert insights from TTP leaders.

As announced in this blog post on June 18, 2026, Gemini CLI and Gemini Code Assist IDE extensions will stop serving requests for Google AI Pro and Ultra, as well as those using it free of charge using Gemini Code Assist for individuals. Google is unifying its AI terminal tools by transitioning the community-focused Gemini CLI into Antigravity CLI, a new agent-first platform built for complex, mul…

Introduction During my freelance work on the Teletype platform, I regularly worked with repetitive browser-based workflows involving form processing, task updates, and continuous data entry operations. While the tasks themselves were straightforward, the high volume and repetitive nature made the process time-consuming and prone to manual inefficiencies. To improve productivity and streamline wor…

What does it look like when a single cobot workcell solves a real problem, earns full ROI in under a year, and quietly grows into a 27-station automation program? That's exactly what happened at Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) after they deployed Robotiq Cobot Components and the Screwdriving Workcell on their assembly line. SEL designs, develops, and manufactures digital products and sy…

Abstract: Self-driving laboratories (SDLs) represent a transformative paradigm in chemical and materials discovery, integrating automated hardware withartificial intelligence to drastically accelerate research cycles.Realizing their full potential, however, requires moving away from fragile, laboratory-specific scripts toward a unified and robust digitalinfrastructure.This presentation first outl…

How to Automate Your Email with n8n in 10 Minutes You check email 15+ times a day. That's roughly two hours — gone every single day. You're not alone. The average professional spends 28% of their workweek on email. But here's what nobody tells you: you can automate 80% of it with three n8n workflows and about 10 minutes of setup time. No coding required. Here's exactly how. Before You Start You'l…

A few months ago I started posting on Dev.to about my side projects. It was fun at first — writing about GPU rentals, Telegram bots, local AI setups. Then life got busy and the cadence dropped. Deadlines slip, the "write that post" todo sits there for weeks, and the audience you built starts forgetting you exist. So I did what any developer would do: I automated it. The Setup I have an AI agent (…

Everyone's building automation with n8n, but most of it doesn't actually work in production. Your workflow handles 60% of cases perfectly. Then reality hits an edge case and the whole thing breaks. It's either a customer's message doesn't match your expected pattern, or a decision needs context your rules don't capture. Suddenly someone's babysitting an automated process that was supposed to be a…

I have been building LocalAnt , a local-first MCP gateway for ChatGPT. GitHub: https://github.com/yuga-hashimoto/localant The goal is to make ChatGPT useful as a real local coding and automation agent without handing it an unsafe raw shell. The problem ChatGPT is good at reasoning, planning, and explaining tradeoffs. But most real work still happens on your own machine: codebases, git state, loca…

Getting a palletizing project done right has always depended on having the right information at the right time. Product specs, floor constraints, financial targets: when any of it is missing or wrong, the project pays for it later. IQ is the platform Robotiq built to change that. It captures the information behind a palletizing project, structures it, and generates a validated Workcell design bas…

Originally published at ffmpeg-micro.com Every video your team publishes needs captions. Accessibility requirements, social media autoplay, SEO value. But nobody wants to sit there adding subtitles by hand, and outsourcing transcription adds days of turnaround. You can automate the entire thing. This n8n workflow watches a folder (Google Drive, Dropbox, or an S3 bucket), transcribes new videos wi…

I've been managing a Telegram channel for a while and kept spending time answering the same questions manually. So I built one n8n workflow that now does it for me automatically. The cool thing is it works in any Telegram chat. You just change the system prompt and it adapts completely. What it does When someone sends a message it figures out what to do on its own. If it's a photo — it downloads …

I'll be heading to Chicago from June 22 to 25 for Automate 2026 to see firsthand how the industrial automation landscape continues to evolve. The last time I attended the event (2024), many conversations centered on digital transformation, connectivity, and early Artificial Intelligence (AI) experimentation.

I'm a 17-year-old IT student from Luxembourg. A few months ago I got tired of spending 2-3 hours a day manually browsing Upwork, Malt, and Freelancer looking for projects. So I built an automation system that does it for me — 24/7, on a Raspberry Pi 3. Here's what it does, how I built it, and every painful lesson I learned along the way. What the system does Scans Upwork, Malt, and Freelancer eve…

We had a campaign we wanted to get in front of the right people. The problem was familiar: We had a targeted list of business leaders we genuinely thought would benefit from what we were promoting, but no clean process for actually reaching them at scale. And we didn’t have enough time to do it the slow way [read: without AI].

I've been working on a new project that I call a Company Brain. The idea is simple: Instead of having separate tools for support, sales, marketing, operations, and management, what if a company had a centralized AI layer that could understand business context, access real company data, automate routine work, and escalate decisions when human intervention is required? I'm currently exploring archi…

Modern AI productivity tools help users save time by automating repetitive tasks and simplifying complex workflows. The post How AI Tools Are Changing the Way We Work, Learn, and Create first appeared on EdTechReview .

This is a submission for the GitHub Finish-Up-A-Thon Challenge What I Built I built RPA Expense Approver , an automation project that helps process expense requests from a user-facing app. The main idea is simple: instead of checking expense requests manually, the system allows users to submit a request through an app. The submitted data is stored in Google Sheets, then UiPath Orchestrator trigge…
