Show HN: I made a briefing document generator based on your Questionary
I wanted an easy briefing generator—nothing from AI. Don’t get me wrong—I’m a fan of AI, but I wanted something that really fits.
I created as many Templates as I needed myself. I got a little crazy with all my Templates for the PDF versions. And did a little bit of overengineering for a questionnaire. I made it free and I hope it makes your lives just a little bit easier.

Show HN: OS Automation Is Here
I'm not sure if anyone has tried doing it already. Maybe did. But here is my prototype of the OS automation tool. It reads tasks given by the user in natural language, uses gemini to generate commands to carry out the task, then gets executed as user proceeds.
Problems faced: 1. It didn't have context about the system/file-folder structures. So had to implement the indexing. Though it doesn't do the work fully rn. 2. Improper commands. Sometimes it generates commands that don't make sense. It can be tackled with search through predefined commands and feeding to the AI I guess. 3. Combining all this, I want to make it more intelligent so it can take actions even with vague commands.
I'm not sure if it works well with macos/linux. Please let me know. I'll continue this project. And give a star :)
