Things people hand to Loom
Real jobs, the way you'd say them. Each shows how to set it up and what the agent will and won't do.
A brief before work
"Every weekday at 7, tell me my meetings, the weather, what's due, and three headlines about my industry."
Morning Brief with Calendar (see only) and Weather.
Find a flat
"Every morning, check these three rental sites for 2-bedroom flats under $2,400 near the park, and list anything new."
Scout. It only looks; it never contacts anyone. Results go in a table on its dashboard.
Stay on top of a topic
"Twice a week, sum up what's new on heat pumps and home rebates, with a link for every source."
Research Watch. It never sends, posts or pays.
Tidy Downloads
"Sort my Downloads folder into sensible subfolders, and put obvious junk in the Trash."
Tidy a folder, given Downloads. Deleting follows your Rules.
Draft replies
"Look through mail from my clients this morning and draft replies for anything that needs one."
A plain agent with Gmail. It writes drafts; you read and send them.
Plan a weekend away
"Plan two days in the mountains in May: places to stay under $200 a night, two easy hikes, and the weather outlook."
A plain agent with the web and Weather. Pin the plan to Home. Booking waits for your OK.
Watch a price
"Check this bike's price every day and tell me if it drops below $900."
Scout, or a plain agent with a daily routine and a price widget.
Prepare for a meeting
"Before my 2pm, read up on the company I'm meeting and give me five things to ask."
A plain agent with Calendar and the web.
Make an invitation
"Make a picture for my daughter's garden party invitation: watercolour, sunflowers, warm afternoon light."
Any agent can make a picture. It's saved in the Library.
Remember the details
"Remember that I'm vegetarian, prefer aisle seats and my frequent-flyer number is in the Vault."
Saved to memory, shared with every agent you choose.
More ideas
Keep an eye on bills
"Each week, sign in to my water and power accounts and add any new bill to my bills table."
A plain agent with those sites signed in. It looks and reads; paying stays Ask me or Never.
A garden diary
"Every Sunday, check the forecast and give me this week's garden jobs. Warn me about frost."
A plain agent with Weather, a weekly routine and a task widget.
Compare before buying
"Compare these four robot vacuums: price, battery life, noise and reviews. Put it in a table."
A plain agent with the web. The table lives in its Library; edit it and the agent keeps your changes.
Follow the local news
"Every morning, three things happening in my town today, with links."
Research Watch or Morning Brief, set to your town.
Sort out paperwork
"Go through the PDFs in my Paperwork folder, rename them by date and sender, and list anything that looks like it needs action."
A plain agent given the Paperwork folder. Renaming follows your Rules for file changes.
Learn something
"Every weekday, teach me one thing about Italian wine in five minutes, building on what you taught me before."
A plain agent with a weekday routine. It remembers what it has covered in its Memory.
Agents ask before anything risky, like sending, posting, paying or deleting, unless you've told them they may. Routines can't stop to ask, so they skip those steps and tell you.
