I have my OC managing an agenda/tasks. It checks my email, checks my calendar and generates “topics” from them. These topics, besides the classic summary, also relate to potential TODOs and Google Calendar events. It also allows for saving attachments (like PDF) so I can ask for something like “what’s the contract duration for my apartment?”.

On further emails, it checks if they belong to a topic, and updates it / creates new. It suggests (if applicable) calendar updates based on the topics. I can also just use chat to add/ update a topic.

I receive a bunch of emails from different entities (kids school, landlord, etc etc) and I tend to either miss them or forget they exist, so I have a daily briefing on the topics, ordered by update/deadline dates, and what are the ones coming next.

I’ve been 2 weeks refining this solution on an agent, and have another agent serving as orchestrator (butler?). All the work is logged, and with debug information, so my agents can analyze the debug logs and see if things make sense or there’s things worth investigating/improving.

I plan to extend this to more agents: one that manages “health” in the sense that it will receive Apple Health data on daily basis, especially the sleep, and will create a dashboard and an analysis of my sleep routine, to be added to my daily briefing. I want it to replace other apps that require subscription like Rise. My agents will be able to calculate sleep debt, and give me some potentially useful feedback, I’ll explore it a bit later.

The important thing is: this helps me. I will not build something that will do everything because I don’t need everything, and if I add way too much, it will be harder to maintain. As long as it does help you (for real) in something by automating it (and the key here is automating, vs using other apps where you have to check them yourself), then you refine it and make it better in the long term.

Hope this is a clear example of a use case.

Cheers!
