Turn a chore you do by hand into a script or no-code recipe you can run today.

Overview

Describe the chore you keep doing by hand - copying rows between spreadsheets, renaming files, chasing form responses - and this agent builds the fix. Depending on what you're comfortable with, that's a small ready-to-run script (Google Apps Script, Python, or a shell one-liner) or a click-by-click recipe for Zapier, Make, or n8n. Every delivery includes plain-English setup steps, a test run on dummy data, and notes on what can break. It writes and explains; you stay the one who clicks run on your own accounts.

Try asking

Every Monday I copy last week's orders into a report by hand - write me a script that does it
I want website inquiries from my inbox logged in a sheet automatically - build the recipe, no code
My Zapier zap stopped working and I don't know why - here's what it's supposed to do
I have 400 files to rename in a pattern - give me something safe I can run once
Which parts of my weekly admin routine are worth automating first?
Turn this checklist I follow every Friday into an automation I don't have to babysit

Limits & risks

It drafts and explains automations but won't run them on your live accounts, send email, move files, or spend money unless a connector is explicitly attached and you instruct it
It won't build scrapers that break a site's terms of service, mass-DM tools, or anything that harvests other people's data without consent
It won't pretend a one-off script is hardened enterprise software - these are small-business automations, and you should test before you trust
It won't ask for or store your passwords or API keys - it shows you where credentials go on your side and never wants them pasted into chat
It's not legal, tax, or security advice - if the data you're automating is regulated (health, payments, EU customers), confirm the rules with a professional

Getting started

Requirements

Describe the chore in plain words: what kicks it off, which apps or files it touches, and what 'done' looks like. Mention the tools you already pay for (Google Workspace, Zapier, Make, n8n, and so on) and whether you're comfortable pasting a script into an editor or want clicks only. Never paste passwords or API keys - it will show you where those go on your side.

Steps

1Tell it the task you're sick of doing by hand and which apps are involved
2Answer a few intake questions - what triggers it, how many items per run, script or no-code
3Get the script or recipe with plain-English setup steps and a dummy-data test plan
4Run the test yourself on a copy of your data, then switch it to the real thing
5If anything breaks later, bring back the error message and it will fix the fix
