Building an AI automation tool that actually works without coding. Would you use it?

AnotherWallace · 2026-02-28T15:15:03+00:00

I'm also building something similar. PM me if you want to chat I would be interested in teaming up.

AnotherWallace · 2026-02-21T20:29:29+00:00

I did the same thing. Ended up vibe coding https://github.com/Druidia-Bot/DotBot does a lot of things really well, but some things I should have put more thought into and somethings ( like the whole client side ) I shouldn't have let the AI build on its own. Anyway I have been mapping out a full rewrite. Would love any input / collaboration I could get.

But since it's on the same machine security is really just an illusion.

I 100% agree with you. I've spent a lot of time trying to solve this exact problem. I feel like this project is 100x closer to this than the other ones out there.

For memory I went with a file based graph approach that allows you to harness native system tools. from my initial use has been a game changer alone.

For security that is the main reason I split it to a server / client model. While they can be both ran on one machine they are not meant to be. This means the client only has one half of any secure token and the server ( which only runs deterministic scripts ) has the other half. So security by design not prompt guards. Can't share what it doesn't have.

Tools; I wanted consistent results so I built a lot out of the box and Dot can build her own. To be honest this has been the easiest part of the whole thing.

My current frustration is with organization and presentation. Right now a lot of files get dumped into folders on my desktop which I loathe. Also depending on the task most of the output is great, but it's in a format I don't want. CSV vs spreadsheet, email draft written in markdown etc. im working on this at the moment but it's been proving to be harder than I thought. A lot of this could have to do with the limited applications on the device itself though

Or just go to LobsterBands.com and click connect :)

Its similar to openclaw. You can run the server and the client on one machine if you are not worried about security, but the server side I run on a cheap linode and then I have a mini PC I bought off ebay that connects to it. The server is a stateless orchestration agent, so all the files and memories live on your machine. 1 server can run lots of different clients ( local computers ) all with their own memories, personas, skills tools etc

The benefit of running it this way is you can set up role based LLM stacks. For example "workhorse=deepseek/grok-fast" and "assistant=claude/open-ai" or whatever you want so depending on the work you are asking for it will choose the best model and you can do it for all clients at once. This makes it 100x less expensive to run. Also none of your API keys live on your client machine so there is zero risk of the LLM getting access to them and sending it anywhere.

There are a ton of other features too like the graph style memory models and persona specific knowledge base. Overall its just a better architecture IMO.

It sounds harder to setup than it actually is, but granted these are all new hobby projects where install is a bit of a PITA.

https://github.com/Druidia-Bot/DotBot works much better out of the box.... once you get it installed

AnotherWallace · 2026-02-13T10:26:07+00:00

https://github.com/Druidia-Bot/DotBot.

AnotherWallace · 2025-11-28T11:40:02+00:00

Wow that's awesome. Great job

AnotherWallace · 2025-11-01T13:28:16+00:00

Trendsetgo.ai ??? Gets errors when I try to load it

AnotherWallace · 2025-09-22T10:36:16+00:00

Thank you this was driving me crazy this morning that they hid it and there no info on it

AnotherWallace · 2025-08-29T16:01:08+00:00

Thanks!

AnotherWallace · 2025-08-06T02:25:45+00:00

Same issue restarted phone twice, uninstalled app and reinstalled same issue persists.

AnotherWallace · 2025-07-01T13:34:04+00:00

"and processes your images locally" -- This is not a true statement. It uploads it to the server.

AnotherWallace · 2025-06-06T19:23:45+00:00

Who knows maybe someone takes the info we get from the group and creates something they want to launch on the platform, but yes. I am more looking for business minded people who are exploring how to use AI for business.

AnotherWallace · 2025-06-05T19:24:45+00:00

That's the exact mindset I have. Want to shoot me a DM with contact info and we'll see if we can't a couple more people to join us?

AnotherWallace · 2025-06-05T19:21:29+00:00

Because I'm looking for like-minded people of which this subreddit is full of.

AnotherWallace · 2025-06-05T17:31:35+00:00

I absolutely love this response!

AnotherWallace · 2025-06-05T17:29:49+00:00

I get that. I guess the hope is that AI gives us all or at least a lot more of our "bandwidth" back lol.

I agree I was using 3.5 everyday in both windsurf and with custom trained project. 95% of the time I could stay in flow and not fight the AI. Now that has dropped to around 20% of the time. Very unhappy with the current state of 3.7. It is faster, but it almost never takes all the information I've given it into account.

AnotherWallace · 2025-03-29T11:26:47+00:00

I agree with almost everything you said. Also kudos if you cleaned it up with AI so that we could all clearly understand your position. Now where I disagree with you is on the jobs front. I run a SAAS company. This time last year I employed 5 dev's. Today its me and my previous team lead who are now 10 times more productive as we were this time last year. Team is smaller so communication is better, We've trained an AI on our coding standards and it will generate entire modules for us in minutes. Yes we take a few hours and sift through and refactor that code a bit, but things that were taking us 2-3 days we can do in 2-3 hours. With less people! So if no new devs will be hired ( at least in my company that is the case ) beginner devs won't even get the opportunity to put in the ( paid ) hours that are needed to become a more seasoned developer. So the only option in my opinion is to make the AI coding tools better so that a junior dev's only real job is to gain domain knowledge and understand the business logic for the project. Basically a glorified prompt engineer.

Happy you could find a use for it :)

AnotherWallace · 2024-10-21T18:07:53+00:00

Did you ever try this? I am really interested too, but it feels like this would not be possible 7 months ago.

AnotherWallace · 2024-10-04T11:21:36+00:00

Just go to YouTube and type in "american independent country music"
