Do you want to do something that can't be done through AppleScript, macOS accessibility APIs, and something like Puppeteer to control the browser?

Or something you don't understand how to do manually?

Because I guess I don't understand the attraction of using an LLM for system automation where existing interfaces exist, other than as a form of documentation, or to write code using these interfaces.

I don't want to think about that stuff. I just want to ask and get stuff done.
