How I’m using Palantir AIP to plan and manage my DIY home renovation.

Since we moved in 2021, barely a moment of my free time has been spent on anything other than our renovation. We’re three years into our twenty-ish year project - there’s a lot to do! I was struggling to find a tool that fit our unique needs, that we could use to track all our projects, tasks, materials etc and gave me the flexibility to tailor it to fit the way I want to use it rather than needing to change my “operations” to fit the tool. So I decided to DIY my project tracker using my personal AIP environment!

I am not a software engineer, but hopefully the demo gives a small flavour of what you could build in AIP - head to https://t.co/IHw2iSkqCj to learn more.

(PS - if DIY is your bag you can follow our (very slow) renovation on instagram @hannath_hall!)

@Wickes I’m missing some of an order that was delivered on Wednesday. Is there anyone who help me out on here I’ve been on hold to customer services for ages…

[Nick Watson @nickowatson]

Webchat told me to phone. Phone told me to check online. Online there’s nothing to check.
I did eventually get through to someone on the phone earlier who spoke to the “repayment team” who “didn’t have an answer”. I was then cut off. I guess I’ll have to write the letter. I suppose a number for the repayments team is too much to hope for?

Hey @HMRCcustomers I'm trying to get a self assessment refund that I requested ~a year ago (no update). Your advisor on chat told me to phone & your automated phone system just sends me a text with a link to check when i "should" have been paid 🙄. Where should I go next?!

[Nick Watson @nickowatson]

@HMRCcustomers 🤦That's a bit vague...what should I include in that letter - UTR, DOB, a short description of my cat? (lets gloss over the utter lunacy of the fact that I need to send an actual letter for this)

[Nick Watson @nickowatson]

@HMRCcustomers What should happen here? Should that amount show as pending somewhere?

[Nick Watson @nickowatson]

@HMRCcustomers It takes me to the page where I can request a repayment &shows me that the full amount is still listed under "Payments/credits not yet used".

[Nick Watson @nickowatson]

@HMRCcustomers Under "view account" it just says "you have overpaid" with the amount and a link to the page where I can request a repayment. Under view statements it says "You do not have any statement information to view."

[Nick Watson @nickowatson]

@HMRCcustomers There's no where obvious I can see that. Where would I find that?

[Nick Watson @nickowatson]

@HMRCcustomers It's for 23-24. I've had no contact about it at all...

@Ryanair is your online chat down? I was being helped by one of you but the chat won’t load at all now…

@VirginAtlantic Still no update on the web/app. As the plane is yet to leave on it’s proceeding flight for Montego Bay from Nassau I’m assuming there is going to be a delay and we won’t be taking off at 20:20 from Nassau?

[Nick Watson @nickowatson]

@VirginAtlantic I got a text this morning saying my flight (VS108) has been delayed - arrival in LHR looks to be about 1hr 30mins late, but there’s no change to the departure time? Possibly because NAS is a short stopover? Can you confirm what the new departure time from NAS is?

[Nick Watson @nickowatson]

@VirginAtlantic Thanks Phillip. My email and text this am said we were arriving into LHR late. Just confirming that this is therefore incorrect?

[Nick Watson @nickowatson]

@McDonaldsUK lunch on a Saturday seems an odd time for two of your employees to take a whole table to store their laptop. Just limits the toddler friendly seating options.

[Nick Watson @nickowatson]

@AdmiralUK Can I add NCB part way though a policy? I had get a new vehicle & insure with you before I was able to sell & cease insuring my old one. Can I port the NCB from the now cancelled policy from my old car to my new(ish) policy with you?

@louiseallain Think someone got trapped in/injured by one of those public urinals that rise up out of the ground

[Nick Watson @nickowatson]

@Wickes looks like someone is spoofing your delivery updates number….would be interested to know how they know I’m a customer..?

I’m sitting with other people who had had the same text.

Smells a little bit like a data breach….😬
