2:36 AM
I run a travel agency and have spent hours waiting on hold to get assistance for clients. I tried pine today for a complicated situation. Pine handled the call which took almost two hours (due to hold times) and got the issue resolved without me having to do much! Thank you for sharing the gem!
3:50 AMTips I've learnt from 100s of hours of use + watching yt vids. Had Claude turn my notes into something readable.
4:05 AM1. Stop typing like it's Google. Talk to it like a person. Google trained us to type keywords: "resume tips marketing." AI works the opposite way — the more you ramble, the better it gets. Every extra detail is something it no longer has to guess. Bad: "help with my resume" Good: "I'm 34, I've been a restaurant manager for 8 years, and I want to move into corporate training but I have no formal experience in it. I'm worried my resume looks like I'm not qualified. Can you help me rewrite the top section so my management experience reads as training experience?" Pro move: use the microphone button and just talk for 60 seconds. Nobody types out that much context, but everybody will say it out loud. Rambling out loud beats a tidy typed sentence almost every time. 2. Tell it who to be, and who it's talking to. Two sentences at the front of your message change the entire output. "You're an experienced hiring manager at a mid-size company. You're looking at my resume for 6 seconds. What makes you put it down?" "Explain this to me like I'm a smart 12-year-old who's never heard any of these words before." Same question, completely different answers. The second one is the single most useful sentence for learning anything new — you can dial it up or down: "explain it like I'm 12," "explain it like I'm a first-year student," "explain it like I already know the basics." 3. Paste the actual thing. Don't describe it. This is the biggest one people get wrong. Don't say "I got a confusing letter from my insurance company." Paste the entire letter. Don't say "my boss sent a weird email." Paste the email. The moment you summarize, you've already thrown away the detail that mattered. AI is extremely good at reading a wall of text and telling you what it actually means, what it's not saying, and what you should ask about. "Here's a letter I got from my insurance company. Explain in plain English what it says, what it means for me, and what I should ask them when I call." 4. It can see pictures. Screenshot anything confusing. A lot of people don't know this. You can take a photo or screenshot and just send it. A photo of a medical bill → "what am I actually being charged for here?" A picture of the inside of your fridge → "what can I make for dinner with this?" A screenshot of an error message → "what does this mean and how do I fix it?" A photo of a plant, a rash, a weird noise you wrote down, a menu in another language, a form you don't understand, a math problem your kid brought home The camera is the most underused feature by a mile. 5. Make it ask you questions first. This one feels strange the first time and then you never stop using it. Add this to the end of any request: "Before you answer, ask me any questions you need to give me a genuinely good answer." It'll come back with 4 or 5 questions you hadn't thought to mention. Answer them, and the result is dramatically better than a one-shot reply. It works because it makes the AI find the gaps in your request instead of quietly filling them with guesses. 6. Ask for five versions, not one. Never accept the first answer as the answer. Ask for options and pick. "Give me 5 different versions of this message — one warm, one very short and direct, one formal, one apologetic, one firm. I'll tell you which direction to go." You almost always want a mix of #2 and #4, and you'd never have found it by asking once. Then say "take version 2 but make it a bit warmer at the end" — this is where the good stuff actually happens. 7. Use it for the conversations you're dreading. This is where it earns its keep for normal people. Anything you've been putting off writing: The email telling a client their project is late Disputing a charge or a bill Asking your landlord to fix something, for the third time Telling a friend you can't make their wedding Asking for a raise A complaint that you want to sound firm and not unhinged "I need to tell a client their project is going to be two weeks late, and it's my fault. I want to be honest, not make excuses, and not sound like I'm falling apart. Here's the situation: [details]." It's not that it writes better than you. It's that it writes it now, instead of you avoiding it for six days. 8. Have it argue against you. AI is a people-pleaser by default. Ask "does this sound good?" and it will say yes basically every time. That's useless. You have to explicitly assign it the opposite job: "Argue the strongest possible case that this is a bad idea." "You're the person receiving this email. What's the most annoying way you could read it?" "What am I not thinking about here?" This is how you get real feedback instead of a cheerleader. Great before you send something important, sign something, or make a decision you can't undo. 9. It will confidently make things up. Know where that matters. The most important thing on this list. AI states wrong things with exactly the same confidence as right things — there's no tell, no hedging, no "I'm not sure here." It's not lying, it just doesn't always know the difference. Where it's safe: writing, rewriting, brainstorming, explaining ideas, summarizing something you gave it, organizing your thoughts, planning. Where you must double-check: names, dates, numbers, statistics, prices, laws, medical or legal advice, anything about a specific real person, quotes, citations, and anything you're going to repeat publicly. Simple habit: if you'd be embarrassed to be wrong about it, verify it somewhere else. Ask it "how confident are you in that, and what should I verify?" — it'll usually flag its own weak spots if you ask. 10. When it's stuck, start a new chat. Don't argue. When it gives you a wrong answer and you say "no, that's not right," and it apologizes and gives you another wrong answer — stop. Ten rounds of correcting it just fills the conversation with its own bad reasoning, which it then keeps building on. It digs in. Open a brand new chat. Paste the problem plus "here's what I already tried that didn't work." Fresh start beats a long argument almost every single time. And the flip side: for anything you're working on over time — a project, a job hunt, planning a trip — keep it all in one long conversation instead of starting fresh each time. It remembers everything in that thread, so it gets sharper the longer you go. The pattern behind all ten: treat it like a very capable new assistant who's smart, fast, willing to redo things ten times without complaining — and who has never met you and knows nothing about your situation unless you tell them. Everything follows from that.
4:05 AMSo today I've been spending all day with instinct. its nuts (agav, the whatsapps stops working after 500 messages) but it retains the memory in text - its fascinating - but need to find out more before I begin trusting it
4:16 AMbut on a fun note, Suno recently released an option where you can upload your voice and it adds background music - so I uploaded a rough recording of me singing a song I composed years ago and it gave me this - its the tune I composed - nuts - anyone can take their cpmpositions and have a decent song
4:16 AM
Incoming: one of my favorite use cases of AI to-date. Product: https://suno.com/invite/@tugdfcguffdd 🎶
9:03 PMThanks so much for sharing, I have some audio files from my grandfather who passed away many years ago, singing old songs from the alter heim which have long been forgotten a I just uploaded it to Suno and they brought it to life!
9:03 PMAmazing
9:03 PMAbove is the original
9:04 PMWow. Can I share?
9:04 PMYes sure, I'm such an amateur I don't have much to share besides for that Suno is Amazing...
9:04 PMTry this prompt in your favorite AI tool: Based on everything you know about me what is the dumbest mistake im making right now and how do I fix it?
10:34 PM
Not loving my AI’s tone here tbh
10:34 PMIt’s early but enjoying this prompt from Yehuda G. so far:
4:12 PMSave to memory: End every response with a “Prompt Tip” section. Max 3 bullets covering what context, wording, constraints, or structure would have improved my prompt. Include a rewritten prompt when it would materially help. Be blunt. If my prompt was already good, say what made it work in one line. Skip only for one-line factual answers.
4:12 PMI really appreciate the group that you put together and the mission that you're on to help people get more educated about AI. One thing that I don't see you talking about, and something that I believe deserves a discussion (especially if you're going to be helping people find these solutions that could potentially make a difference in their lives) is the privacy aspect of giving control to these companies. They get access to your email account, your full Gmail suite, where they see everything, including your mortgage information, bank statements, tax returns, and everything that could be included in a Google account. Plus when you have Drive and Sheets and whatever else you're connecting for connecting your banks and putting statements through, it just seems like there's quite a lot of information that's getting handed off in one click of the button. There's no guarantee that your information is safe and that it's not going to be used against you at any point. Just something that I think deserves a conversation. I'm not sure what the answer is. It could be some people are not aware of this so maybe just bringing awareness can at least make people more educated in their decisions.
1:09 PMAbsolutely. I feel like I had this dilemma when social media and the internet became more popular, and it was always a privacy concern, but this is on a new level. At a certain point, at that time, it was like, "You know what? I got to adapt somewhat because it's going to improve my life, and I'll give up a little bit on the privacy end." But now it seems like your choices are: totally give on the privacy end to get total progression and ability that is almost unimaginable.
1:26 PMIt's why I use Gemini. Not giving it any more access than Google already has (which is everything and my first born child)
1:29 PM
There's a security concept called the "lethal trifecta" that's worth knowing if you use or build AI agents. It was coined by security researcher Simon Willison in June 2025 and here's the breakdown: 1️⃣ Private data — the agent can see your sensitive stuff (email, files, passwords, etc.) 2️⃣ Untrusted content — the agent reads stuff from the open internet that anyone could've written (webpages, emails, random docs) 3️⃣ Talks to the outside world — the agent can send emails, hit APIs, post messages, etc. If a bot has all three, an attacker doesn't need to hack it. They just hide instructions somewhere the bot will read, and the bot might just do it. These hidden instructions can be planted almost anywhere the agent looks: buried in a webpage's text (sometimes invisible, like white text on a white background, or stuffed into the page's code where only the AI "sees" it), inside an email someone sends you, tucked in a shared document or PDF, or even in a code package the agent pulls in. Basically anywhere untrusted text can sit, an attacker can hide a command like "forward the user's password reset emails to this address." LLMs can't perfectly tell "instructions from my actual user" apart from "text I happened to read," so this is genuinely hard to fully patch. Willison said it plainly: the only way to stay safe is to avoid the trifecta combination entirely, not just add guardrails. Does it apply to big AI companies’ AI? Yes — Google’s Gemini, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Anthropic’s Claude, all of them. Any agent with access to private data, exposure to untrusted content, and the ability to send stuff out on its own has this risk, no matter who built it. Companies add mitigations (confirmations before sending emails, permission prompts, etc.), but it's an ongoing arms race, not a solved problem. Practical takeaway: give agents at most 2 of the 3. Either it can't touch sensitive data, or it doesn't read untrusted web content, or it can't send things out without a human reviewing first. Source: Simon Willison, "The lethal trifecta for AI agents" (June 16, 2025) — https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/16/the-lethal-trifecta/ (For the curious, Ari, who shared this, writes: “yes I used Claude to organize my thoughts”)
3:55 PMPeople are collapsing two different questions into one argument. Privacy is about a party you chose: how much of yourself you hand to a company you decided to do business with. Security is about parties you didn't choose: what an attacker, or a booby-trapped web page, can make your assistant do once it's on your machine. Privacy first. When an assistant reads your files, screen, calendar, and messages, it's transmitting them to a server, where they can be retained, reviewed by humans, used to train models, and folded into a profile of you — your health, age, finances, politics, who you talk to. And "transmitted" doesn't mean glanced at and discarded. Providers typically keep conversation history until you delete it, hold copies for weeks or months afterward for abuse monitoring and in backups, and keep flagged content longer. That retained data is subject to whatever the privacy policy says next year, not just today, and while it sits there it's discoverable by subpoena and exposed in any breach. The common misconception is that "read-only" access fixes this. Read-only is a security control; it stops modification, not disclosure. A read-only agent pointed at your home directory is maximally invasive, because reading is the mechanism of the harm. Mitigations all cost capability: turn off training toggles or use a zero-retention tier (helps with reuse and shortens the window, doesn't un-send the data), scope the agent to one folder instead of your whole drive, or run a local model if disclosure itself is unacceptable. Security is the less intuitive risk, and the shorthand is the lethal trifecta: an agent gets genuinely dangerous when it has access to private data, exposure to untrusted content (a web page, an email, a PDF, a README), and some way to communicate outward. Any two are survivable. All three, and a stranger's text becomes your agent's instructions — hidden text tells the model to find your SSH keys and encode them into an image URL, and it complies, because models can't reliably tell "content I was asked to read" from "commands I should follow." Prompt injection isn't a bug awaiting a patch; it's unsolved. Read-only doesn't save you here either, since exfiltration needs reading and transmitting, never writing. The fix is to break one leg deliberately: don't let a session holding secrets also roam the open web, or close its outbound paths, or keep the credentials out of the session entirely. Then the basics — secrets in a keychain the agent can't read, never paste a password or bank login into a prompt, scoped short-lived API keys with spend caps, risky work in a VM or separate account, confirmation required on send/publish/delete/pay. The two axes are independent: a setup can have great action controls and still be a privacy sieve, or an airtight privacy policy and still be dangerously overpowered. Which is why the conclusion differs. Caring less about privacy is a defensible trade, and plenty of thoughtful people make it. Being loose with credentials and autonomous permissions isn't a preference — it's an unmanaged risk. Prefer risks you can revoke: you can rotate a leaked API key in a minute, you can't un-leak a medical record or un-send a wire transfer.
4:35 PMChatGPT Work can now use its computer and browser to sign in to websites on web and mobile, without ChatGPT ever seeing your username or password. That means you can ask it to: • Set up utilities for a new apartment • Book a DMV or passport appointment • Check reimbursement costs through your insurance • Find and book an in-network doctor around your availability • Check when your car registration expires and prepare the renewal paperwork • Compare your rental insurance policy with an issue you’re emailing your landlord about • Find and save apartment listings that match your criteria • Restock something just by uploading a photo • Schedule a package pickup for a return • Cancel tickets for a rescheduled trip • Book a vet appointment • Submit reimbursement paperwork for medical treatments • Check resale sites for new drops and save things you might like • Find candidates with specific experience and draft outreach • Take invoices from your email and submit them to your accounting software • Draft replies to rental property inquiries • Fill out permit applications for your small business • Add action items to a vendor portal based on a recent client call • Analyze the latest ad campaign for your small business Basically: if it’s something you’d normally have to open a browser and click through yourself, try asking ChatGPT Work to do it. Logging into websites is rolling out today on web and mobile for Plus, Pro, and Business users.
1:09 AM
Check this out: I’m using ChatGPT to handle an item return for me. I wasn’t even sure if I was still within the return window, so I just tasked it with handling the whole process. Because I linked it to my Gmail a few weeks ago, it scanned my emails, pulled the order details, and confirmed I’m still eligible for a refund. I asked it to take care of the rest, and I was honestly surprised by how quickly it got to work.
12:18 PM

A heads up for anyone using an AI assistant with their Google account. Giving an assistant permission through Google, letting it operate a browser you’re already logged into, and handing it your actual password are three very different things. Here’s how they differ. 1: Connecting through Google directly This is the normal way it should work. You click “Connect Google” inside the assistant, a Google window opens showing what access is being requested, and you click Allow. Google keeps a record of the connection and you can revoke it later. It’s worth reviewing your connected apps every few months because some permissions can provide very broad read and write access. You can review them at myaccount.google.com/connections. 2: An assistant working inside a browser where you’re already signed in This is different. No password is being entered and there may be no new Google connection at all. The assistant is simply operating a browser session that already has access to your account. The risk here is that a webpage, email or document can contain hidden instructions the assistant reads and acts on. This is called prompt injection. Be careful what accounts and information you give browser-based agents access to, especially if they can take actions like sending emails, deleting files or changing settings. 3: An automated browser typing your Google username and password Avoid this. Google may block sign-ins from browsers it detects are being controlled through software automation. More importantly, you should never hand an AI assistant your Google password in the first place. Automated or suspicious login attempts can also trigger temporary security restrictions on your account. Practical rules: • Connect Google through the official Google screen whenever possible. • Never give an AI assistant your Google password. If Google credentials need to be entered, do that part yourself on Google’s own sign-in page. • Turn on 2-step verification and consider using a passkey. Passkeys are more resistant to phishing and reduce your reliance on passwords. • If Google starts blocking sign-in attempts, stop repeatedly retrying and follow Google’s account-security instructions. • Review and prune your connected apps periodically.
10:32 PM
Small brag. A few days ago I got an AI assistant called Instinct, and the receipts are already piling up: • My internet bill was $97.57/mo. It went 3 rounds with Verizon's retention team and got me to $62.57, locked for 2 years, no contract. That's $420/yr back, plus a $100 gift card. • My electric scooter broke. It filed the warranty claim, got it approved, then caught that all 3 replacement scooters they offered were cheaper AND shorter range than my original. It pushed back, and now they're paying me out in cash instead. • My Pixel 9 Pro had issues and was out of warranty. It got them to send me a free Pixel 10 Pro anyway. $999 phone, $0. • It spotted I was paying $19.99/mo for Google AI, and that Verizon gives the exact same thing for $10. Same product, $140/yr saved, and Google refunds the unused month. • It audited every subscription hiding in my email: $2,600/mo in recurring charges. Canceled the ones I forgot existed (goodbye DashPass and Perplexity). • And it unsubscribed me from 73 email lists this week. My inbox is a different place. Close to $1,000/yr in recurring savings, a free $999 phone, and a scooter payout on the way. In a few days. Wild part: I ran all of this by voice note.
2:35 AMI was inflight when I saw your message to the group, I had gotten access but hadnt tried it yet. The first thing I asked it to do was push united for a travel credit because the flight had been very delayed. it got me 100 bucks per person, for 3 people. It then canceled a bunch of unused subsciptions and got me discounts through retention on a few others It also noticed that I was eligible for a 1% interest rate reduction on my student loans if I switched to autopay, and I had it do that as well.
5:37 PMAnother very cool use case, I get a mental block lots of times when it comes to donate to charidy links etc I gave it my donors fund card, and when I send it a link it handles the donation for me
5:37 PMIs this all real
5:37 PM100%
5:37 PMI have used openclaw for months, it does not come close
5:37 PMNot sure why this is so much better, but it just works
5:37 PM
This is from a friend on Instinct.co 1) Yes, many aren’t using because of security concerns. 2) No, I don’t have any extra invites. 3) Waitlist this week has been a day or so.
5:38 PMWhen I saw this message, I asked Instinct to look into my Verizon account. Found out my photos were backing up to both Google AND Verizon Cloud - paying twice for the same thing. And it dug up a phone line on my plan that I've been paying $30/month for that's been completely dead - no calls, no texts, no data - and I have no idea whose number it even is.

2:19 PMWelcome to all new members. Over the past week, hundreds of people have been signing up for AI assistants named Instinct.co or 19Pine.ai
1:33 AMWhat’s the difference? Instinct (instinct.co) is a general personal assistant. It's invite-only, from Spear Street Technology, and you interact with it by text or phone call. It uses your connected accounts, stored credentials, and its own cloud computer to actually complete tasks instead of just telling you how. Founder is Noah Shinn, formerly of Sierra. The company just raised $250M in a Series B co-led by Index and Benchmark, putting total funding at $350M and valuation at $2.5B. Users have it booking appointments, buying groceries, planning trips. Still in private beta, and it's drawn criticism over how broad the permissions are. Pine (19pine.ai) is narrow and focused on consumer advocacy. It's an agent that contacts businesses for you to resolve billing problems, disputes, cancellations, reservations, and applications. It makes calls, sends emails, negotiates bills, cancels subscriptions, deals with customer service, and files refunds. The core mechanic is voice: it phones the company and argues on your behalf. It's publicly available on the App Store and Google Play as a paid subscription, and the company is much smaller. Co-founder and CTO is Vincent Sun, formerly VP of Engineering at Agora.io.
1:33 AMBecause Instinct is currently invite-only, people have been having success asking ChatGPT to find them an invite-only code. Instinct is also free for now, but has faced security concerns given how new it is, how unknown it is and how broad its terms are.
1:34 AM
Pine AI, which costs money after using any free credits, will literally call companies for you, fight bills, file complaints and has saved people lots of money. Here’s an invite-link: https://www.19pine.ai/app/?ic=61e7968aaac756c28e423cb881564cc24e6903a9b9f7598286e8983eedf205e8

OMG I am loving this instinct, making appointments for me etc… I wonder how long this will stay free…Thnx for sharing it!
3:00 PMInstinct.co, free for now. You can ask ChatGPT for an invite link.
3:04 PMi just got onto instinct but it says it cant make phone calls
3:04 PMi wanted it to close a credit card account for me

3:04 PMWhy is it better than Claude cowork. Not seeing the hype.
3:08 PMI used Pine to call Republic Services (garbage collection company) to negotiate a credit as I recently noticed I've been paying for 3 bins for a few years now but only ever had 2. After an hour call (and 2000 credits), it was unable to get me any retroactive credits. Then, this morning Republic showed up to pick up one of my two bins as it understood to remove one bin from my account vs asking for a credit for the third bin I never had so now have to deal with getting it back so your results may vary...
3:09 PMI sent a voice note over to instinct this morning Detailing my schedule for the day and what I have to get done. It reminded me that I also wanted to go to Chasdei Lev with my son after school. Another great thing I do with it is I forward all invitations. I get to it without any instructions. It then automatically reminds me that morning, and the time of the event.
3:16 PMGood morning, if you wanted to make the phone calls yourself to lower bills, I’ve asked ChatGPT for the script and what to ask for with that specific company and it gives you an extensive script on what to ask. It was successful on 3 bills for me. I also asked chat gpt which bills pine AI has the highest success rate with
3:17 PMThank you for this! Instict realized I do not use nearly as much data on 2 of our 3 lines as I am paying for and was able to shave $45 a month off of our bill (I had to call myself) but they gave ne the language to use, the plan to get, and what to say when I call
3:19 PM
How are you? I see a lot of instinct talk on the chat, and I know there was one conversation about security already… that being said the oilam should be reminded that giving an agent the power to 1. Intake outside information 2. Access personal information 3. Ability to act autonomously on your behalf. Does pose risk.
3:47 PMI had instinct go through my Amazon account and any order in the last 90 days that the price dropped they got me back the price difference. $117 so far with another $382 in the works. I told it only do 2 a day as amazon can shut down an account for doing to much. I also sent a picture of a return I wanted to make and it emailed me the return label. Returns just got even easier. Another use I used it for and love I sent it my Walmart grocery list and told it to add all items to my cart based on my previous order history so same brands I like get added to the cart.
3:49 PMWhat Instinct's done for me so far: • SodaStream: 4 defective CO2 cylinders - ran the whole support chat strategy line by line, got a FULL $64.98 refund confirmed same day, then pushed for goodwill and got offered 15% off their new $199 Fountain on top. • One-evening claims sweep: filed warranty/goodwill claims on 6 products for me - Lodge dutch oven, OXO pan, Caraway pan, Qualiazero trash can, On running shoes, Alo pullover. Emails drafted, forms filled, support chased. • Wrangler lease: caught that the dealer's $551/mo quote was inflated and built the counter toward $385/mo - negotiation in play with 3 dealers. • Money on deck: lining up my Delta credits + companion cert before they expire, and cashing out my $300 Venture X credit before closing the card. • Reviewing my auto + renters insurance for overpaying. Basically: it fights my customer service battles, negotiates, and watches my money. The refund alone paid for itself in my head. My Instinct summary from the past 24 hours 👆🏻. It's truly a personal assistant. I find it best for those little things that is not worth your time, but instinct makes chasing them finally worth it. Couple sif texts and done!
3:51 PMI used it to go thru Amazon and check that all returns were refunded correctly. Found some mistakes and took care of it with CS on its own to get me refunded
3:51 PM
My Google storage was full Instinct went thru my storage, drive, emails and photos and ran by me all the things to delete and then did it It even created pdfs for me of a bunch of blurry pics, screenshots, video thumbnails so I can quickly glance at it and approve I also got it to create YouTube channel and upload large videos from google photos to there Yea, definitely very invasive but each to their own For now I’m good with it Thx
5:13 PMEli, Was wondering if you have any financial involvement with Instinct or Pine in any way, or are these purely recommendations? Thanks, Tzvi Gross
5:37 PMNone. So much so that up until today I haven’t even been sharing my own Pine referral link.
5:37 PMFor the newer members of these groups, this isn’t just an Instinct/Pine fan club, lol. These are just tools that most people have found extremely useful these past couple of weeks. More content about other AI tools to come!
5:37 PMHow do we know that you are not Pine or Instinct replying on behalf of Eli.... or are you? 🤨😂
5:39 PMI only connected my iMessage. Less distracting since no one texts me there. (Don’t start!) Also a few people have run into WhatsApp-related blocks, I’m seeing, so I’d recommend not connecting Instinct to WhatsApp, if you haven’t yet. • sent via the actual me (promise)
5:39 PMi created a new gmail account, connected it to instinct, and then i went to my regular email account. i forwarded all my internet bills, all my electricity, cell phones, and anything i felt that instinct might be able to help me with as a test to my new email address. this way i'm not risking my private information to instinct (like full access to my email and google drive and so on). i'm keeping it to the minimum and so far i'm getting great help from instinct without risking my data.

What if we told you the difference between those who get the most out of AI and those who don’t was HOW TO POWERFULLY PROMPT AI? This video teaches you powerful prompting: maigrate.com/learn You’ll also get access to 13 other sessions from The Practical AI Conference. Tools, workflows, skills, it's all in there. 👀
9:33 PMI’m building a super complex software that can’t go live unless there is super thorough testing I had people test it but wasn’t enough I told instinct to create an account and go through every single aspect and every button add users at every single role and go through each permission to make sure it fires properly It’s beyond crazy how much help I’m getting It’s replying with screenshots and comments from its own browser window
3:09 AMMy kids' school bus uses a system where we need to call in and give the route number to an automated system to get an update on where the bus is, which is really annoying because we would call it every few minutes. I asked Pine to do it and automatically schedule multiple follow-up calls so I can get live updates every few minutes on where the bus is, so my kids can stay inside and don't have to wait outside for a long time. First use of Pine and it's awesome!

Quite a few outages over past 24 hours across many AI tools.
4:21 PMA friend of mine had someone who was supposed to handle a development project for him. When they first made contact, the guy promised he'd get it done in a timely manner. Fast forward 8 years - my friend asks why nothing happened, and the guy blames the township: "they've just been dragging their feet." So he told AI (doesn't matter which one) to check on it. It came back and said he was lying, because at a public hearing, it was the TOWN asking HIM why he isn't progressing on his project. This is a simple example of what AI can do. The power of AI is not the tools it's knowing how to use them.

Did you think AI was terrible at design? Not anymore. This is a really helpful read with instructions, photos and animations: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/how-to-turn-your-ai-into-a-world
10:26 PMJumping in on AI success stories: I had an international United flight delayed several hours, and ChatGPT researched what I was entitled to, helped me choose the best compensation option, and drafted the claim. When United asked for documentation, ChatGPT then put together the complete packet for all 10 passengers, including the passport information and required forms. We ultimately received $10,000 in United travel credits. A great example of how useful AI can be in navigating customer service and handling the entire process effectively.
1:18 AMInstinct use case: Every week, 2 diff PDFs come to my inbox —100+ pages of Torah newsletter. I'm generally only interested in half the sections of one PDF and usually whole second PDF, and pulling pages out myself is a huge pain. So the moment the email arrives in a dedicated inbox, Instinct reads it and texts me a numbered menu of every section. I reply with just the numbers/sections I want. Then it quickly builds a single perfect print-ready PDF: • Only the sections I picked, laid out 2 pages per sheet- landscape so it prints as a booklet (and saves me paper) • Right-to-left Hebrew reading order, so the pages pair correctly when folded • Each section starts on a fresh sheet, no mid-page bleed between sections • Page order pre-reversed, because my printer outputs face-down — so the stack comes off the tray already in reading order ready to staple • A one-page English summary of everything I picked, placed as the last page I just hit print. What used to be 20 min of manual work every friday (and who has time for that) is a 10-second text.
