Chrome Autopilot2025 · chromeautopilot.com · ▲8Hey, I made this Chrome Extension to run automations using natural language (much like OpenAI Operator in the browser). Another fun feature is to surf by voice -- no need for a mouse or keyboard. I'm personally using it to automate my property management stuff like sales tax filings, sending check-in instructions, monitoring the Nest camera, etc. Another obvious use case is UI testing (a natural language version of Selenium). Also, I've used it to automate personalized DM's and replies on Linkedin and X. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

Autism Simulator▲779Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
