built a chrome extension that applies to vacancies and tries to convert HR and decision makers at companies into offering me a position or becoming my AI automation client. using openrouter, free llms, my resume which gets modified per each job post so to better match key role, responsibilities and requirements.

if you are like me your inbox is full of people with whom you lost contact and if done right those people can be followed up with to become your friends and or customers. i build an ai powered automation that will follow up with those old contacts with the power of LLM automation. script identifies emails based on the tag assigned to them, reads each email message to understand the context and the goal attached to each email tag and response to the email in that context. email is then automatically sent or left as draft for human to review. this is a great way for me to automate and follow up with people that i lost touch with. tech stack: openrouter, free llms models, thunderbird extension (coded with help of claude). cost?: 20-40 hours of my time.

i built an automation that allows me to cold text from 30 different phone numbers (3,000 messages per day per phone number) and and its powered by LLM so when people reply they talk to the over 30 different fine tuned AI powered chatbots based on the campaign their phone number is attached to. anybody want to guess how much im paying for the llm (tokens), phone numbers (phone plan), sms campaign system (saas)?

decided to get off all or most paid to use apis and saas in 2026. so i took a email open tracking saas service for which i was paying for and reversed engineered it. the result. i now have my own chrome extension and email tracking service that is powered by open source email tracking that runs locally(self hosted). so i saved 9.99$ per user per month.

came across a lot of chrome extensions that charge you monthly fees to automate/batch feed prompts into google flow and google whisk so i decided to create my own script that will pull all the prompts and inputs from a csv file on my computer and have the script interact with google flow and google whisk when i need a large library of graphics for whatever project and or reason. this script saves me at least 50$ a month (100$+ if I used other AI based services) but more importantly at least 8 hours per week in graphic design and rendering.
