Rotebot

Small repetitive jobs add up: checking the same news sites for headlines, looking up the weekend forecast, tracking an exchange rate, pulling the ERROR lines out of a log. Rotebot is a macOS desktop app that turns jobs like these into a library of reusable tools. It can solve most repetitive computer tasks, and it actually builds mini apps which can be rerun. Describe the chore in plain language, or record yourself doing it once. Rotebot masks private details in the recording, shows you what will be sent, and has a Meta model write a small program. The host then runs that program in a sandbox and checks the result, and a failed check can trigger a repair attempt. You review the output, save the tool, and run it by hand or on a schedule. Connections let tools work with your own data. Connect Gmail and a daily tool can collect the bills that have arrived in your inbox. Add custom APIs, such as a banking data service, and a tool can check whether your rent payments came in on time. Generated code gets the data it needs, but no credentials or direct network access, files are never overwritten, and sends or changes to outside services wait for your approval. It is a developer preview, and scheduled runs need the app open. Built during the hackathon: the product code in this repo, with the first code commit after kickoff. Planning research and API probes in plan/ are dated Oct 22, before the event, and are not product code. The commit history shows the full build.
