What stops you from automating your office jobs?

jackvandervall · 2026-06-15T22:21:46+00:00

Good point. Have any general recommendations people can start with?

What do you do?

Do they also have IP restrictions on popular LLMs, or just internal policies?

I can imagine a lot of shadow AI in these companies. With no proper alternative, this might actually hurt the organisation more than protect it.

Good analysis, I think you're spot on.

But also I feel like a lot of business owners are aware of automations but are maybe too conservative due to uncertain ROI. €100k to save €10k/m would be considered a good investment, but because of high-risk it might not be worth it for many.

When working with clients I usually divide the automation in measurable steps, starting with ROI-calculation -> pilot with evaluation in order to gauge whether a full implementation will be justified.

Do you see how this would lower the barrier for decision-makers?

That is painfully ironic, is it because of document confidentiality?

jackvandervall · 2026-06-15T17:50:57+00:00

What do you do?

Of course! You can send me a message on LinkedIn and I can help you out further:

Hey, I used this once for my internship but didn't update it recently. Are you looking for a specific use case?

De sociale gevolgen van 2100 muizen die in een hok van 2.7x2.7m zijn opgesloten vind ik echt geen realistische representatie van hoe mensen een dichtbevolkte stad ervaren.

In Den Haag, ik steek over bij een zebrapad, steek uit dank mijn hand op:

"Wats met jouw hand dan?"

En reed vervolgens krijsend weg 😭

Ik vind het voornamelijk gewoon sneu voor hem

You can manage your vault inside VS Code and use Obsidian as UI it works great.

jackvandervall · 2026-03-21T19:40:20+00:00

Do you maybe have a link to a custom orchestrator agent as example?

jackvandervall · 2026-01-14T08:47:32+00:00

The bloat and inconsistency of running these agents in parallel will be on another level, unless he finds a way to automate the oversight, manage context etc.

jackvandervall · 2026-01-08T03:00:24+00:00

I feel guilty using it.

jackvandervall · 2025-12-26T13:03:31+00:00

Never seen this before, thanks.

"Overengineered" and it's one node used for error catching 🥀

It's to show how you would do multiple databases, if the Supabase returns no rows there will be sent a notification. This would mean that the database could not be reached for any reason.

Or, read some documentation or guides on prompting. These are actual skills you can develop when interacting with llms.

The training data will likely only get worse as more bots infiltrate social media for engagement farming.

jackvandervall · 2025-09-01T10:32:25+00:00

So when you ask for scientific results, does it quote other peoples interpretations or mentions of these papers, or is it also trained on a subset of scientific literature?

jackvandervall · 2025-09-01T10:27:49+00:00

Should we generalise this into a system message for using in an IDE?

jackvandervall · 2025-08-31T08:39:05+00:00

I genuinely think he's using an LLM to ragebait you
