People with daughters, do you buy them a barbie dolls ?
I think barbie dolls are way out of fashion nowadays, she is genuinely not interested in them and I as a man find them very boring.

This was the most annoying part for me running SaaS and mobile products thus we came up with Mr. Prompty.

I would authenticate once and instructed it to go every month on 5th, find where the invoices for the month are, download them and send them to accounting.

[@levelsio @levelsio]

By far THE most annoying part of running a business for me is collecting receipts for my accountant

Every month my accountants hounds me for invoices and receipts of every single expense I did, doesn't matter how tiny like $0.50, sometimes also for income (I don't know why)

Most companies charge monthly so that means collecting 12 invoices per year at least

One reason I am canceling so many SaaS is not even the cost, it's just that I hate bookkeeping so much so I think if I don't spend the money, I don't need to collect invoices and receipts for every single payment every month (also I like extremely high profit margins like 99.99%)

I'm down to just about 10 companies I pay now, like Cloudflare, Hetzner, Backblaze etc. so that means only ~120 invoices to collect per year cause most are paid monthly

Yes I have an automatic email filter that forwards invoices to my accountant but many companies do NOT send you an automatic invoice by email

So you're talking about logging in to 10 websites, them sending you a 2FA code by email, opening your email, entering the code, trying to find wherever the Billing page is hidden, going to Invoices, opening the invoice, clicking Download to DPF (if it even exists)

This week I tried to improve this, my accountant uses Xero, so I made a Xero API key, gave it to Claude Code, and asked it to login and figure stuff out, then it just asks me which expenses still need a receipt and a note, I find it and drag the PDF or screenshot into Claude Code and it resolves it

Next step is letting it login to all my vendors and also download the invoice by itself which seems very very possible

Much easier!

so will Nikita now shadowban AI like he did with crypto ?

[Matthew Berman @MatthewBerman]

Half a million views after 1 hour.

Poster has less than 300 followers.

Something feels off.

[Vik Petrov @bobos_hunter]

Because of AI, I now hate every website color. Blue and purple I dislike the most.

Would it valuable to know how many of your followers have been active on X in the last 24 hours?

How to automate invoice processing and collection.
Using Sentry and Gmail for the automation.

[Vik Petrov @bobos_hunter]

I've made our agent watch my work and nudge me when I'm not productive.

At the end of the day, the agent send me summary of my work and prepares tasks for my next day.

and I love it!

The upcoming tasks are I would say 30-40% relevant, but is huuuuuge productivity boost for me

[Vik Petrov @bobos_hunter]

Running browser automation agent is not easy.

Made a video where I was showing how to automate invoice collection and got this.

Meanwhile Garry is showing something similar on their YC channel and YouTube is fine with that.

[Vik Petrov @bobos_hunter]

If you want to use GStack as a ready made product, let me know.
Instead of Garry giving the agent options our agent would try different ways, until the task is completed.
and like Garry we are fascinated by the work it can complete.

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

Did a video on GStack to introduce you to the first few skills you might use, /office-hours and /design-shotgun

@samdotb Most of them are chasing likes. I spend my days screaming at most llms.

@paulg What would they be doing if not writing code, fixing bugs, chasing leads ?
