My bot found the broken part in my dryer, ordered it, and talked me through the fix

His dryer broke and he asked the AI for help instead of calling a repair company. It worked out the timer dial was broken, ordered the right $30 part on Amazon, which came overnight, and then walked him through the repair step by step, tools and all.

$200

How it works

  1. Owner describes the broken dryer
  2. Bot works out the timer dial is the bad part
  3. Bot orders the $30 part on Amazon and it arrives overnight
  4. Bot walks him through the replacement step by step, naming the tools: a flathead, needle-nose pliers and a T10 Torx driver

Why it’s worth knowing

It did the whole repair job, not just the diagnosis. It found the part, bought it, and stayed with him through the fix.
