Use case overview
A commenter describes a self-built agent that OCRs a photo of a handwritten appointment into their calendar, searches the web, and files an emailed PDF into paperless.
Reported experience
What they did
The commenter describes building a personal agent rather than relying on a chat subscription. It reads a photo of a handwritten appointment and adds it to a calendar, searches the web, and finds an email with a PDF and files it in a local paperless instance. It runs on cheap flash-tier models paid per token.
How it went
The commenter calls it easy to build and says flash models are more than enough for simple agent tasks. They estimate about 15 dollars a year in tokens, versus 20 a month for a subscription. No detailed results are given.
Worth knowing
The cost figure is the commenter's own estimate, and the comment gives no build details, so expect to work out the tool integrations yourself.
Example prompts
When I send you a photo of a handwritten appointment, read the text and add it to my [calendar name] with the date, time, and place. When I forward a PDF by email, file it into [paperless or folder] with a sensible title and tags. Show me each calendar entry and filename before saving, and stop once everything from today's batch is filed.
