My bot got my Albuquerque parking ticket sent to be voided overnight

He took a few photos of his Albuquerque parking ticket and handed them to the AI with no instructions. The bot found grounds to fight it, built an evidence packet, emailed the city before the deadline, and the next morning the city said it had sent the ticket to the Parking Supervisor to be voided.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

  1. Owner hands over photos of the ticket with no instructions
  2. Bot reads the ticket and finds grounds to contest it
  3. Bot builds an evidence packet
  4. Bot emails the city before the deadline
  5. Bot keeps checking the inbox for a reply
  6. City replies the next morning that the ticket was sent to the Parking Supervisor to be voided

Why it’s worth knowing

He gave it photos and nothing else. It worked out the grounds, wrote to the city itself, and had an answer by morning.
