Show HN: Driving Android app via LLM. Looking for feedback
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OT1k7o89ed4I was curious if I could drive an app via LLM. I think this is interesting and has some potential use cases to close the agent loop. Please share your thoughts that come to mind!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OT1k7o89ed4This is a raw demo after I finished building it. I'm mostly interested in hearing from you if there are use cases that this...

I'm focusing on the annual assessment appeal. So this you need to do every year. For me this year, for the first time, they kept the assessed value low.
Zillow and others don't use the right way to look at comparable homes in the assessors and assessment appeals board view.
I could auto appeal each year for you. Right now I'm just trying to get as many people to appeal before the deadline of Dec 1st for the remaining counties. But if you enter your address and email, then I'd run it next year and inform you.

thanks for the tip with two AI models. I've done that in writing coding specs. I already gave it a lot of detail about who it is. will give this a try.
Do you have an exit criteria that you can define for when the models stop picking on the other models solutions?
Ask HN: Whats your best workflows to draft legal agreements without lawyers?
I just got an insane bill from a lawyer for drafting an agreement. I was wondering if some of you have a great workflow for drafting legal agreements with AI that are good enough to have a lawyer just review it? My background is CS, so it's hard judge myself and I feel ChatGPT doesn't give enough details.

Thanks for the reply. That sounds awesome!!!
Ask HN: How do you keep track of newsletters you care for?
Hi, How do you keep track of newsletters your care for? I'm a Instapaper user since ~10 years. I still haven't found an app where I get an email address that I can use to send all my newsletters I subscribed to, and then have them as a personal magazine instead of all over my inbox. Thats how I think about it, curious what you do.

I was hoping that someone has experience in storing data with FileCoin. But I think it's just to early still to bet an existing business on it.

The is amazing. Thank you.
I’ve been looking at Backblaze storage pods that seem to be designed for that use case.
Never rented rack space.
Do you remember somehow the math on how much cheaper it was or how you thought about upfront cost vs ongoing. Just order of magnitude would be great.

Great question. I updated the original post. It’s user generated images and videos. We download those to the phones in the background.
We don’t touch the data at all.
