I built a set of scheduled skills that run my money, shopping and calendar

On a free year of the AI he has built and scheduled a stack of personal skills: a calendar manager, an expense tracker fed only by emailed invoices with his full history backfilled, a monthly utility cost comparer, and shopping re-up tracking that watches how fast he uses things like coffee beans and toilet paper and schedules the next buy. A weekly skills manager rates all the others and suggests improvements.

How it works

  1. Build each skill with its own job
  2. Calendar manager adds and manages events and reminders
  3. Expense tracker reads emailed invoices and backfills his full history
  4. Monthly skill compares utility costs
  5. Shopping skill tracks usage rates and schedules re buys
  6. Weekly skills manager rates every active skill and suggests improvements

Why it’s worth knowing

One of his skills exists only to grade the other skills every week and tell him how to improve them.
