You should really stop using Zapier or Make. Deploying Python scripts on Replit takes less than 5 min and is cheaper. Just describe what you want to automate and AI takes care of writing the code. For example, I created an automation that merges all the PDFs in a...

you're so right! I save hundreds a month by ditching my SaaS and building my own automations. here's an AI assistant that lives in my email inbox and extracts receipt / invoices data and populates my expense sheets! took me maybe 30 mins to build!

This is cool!!! Some helpful notes. If you upgrade to Replit Core: - You can use Claude 3.5 directly in our AI pane - You can deploy to a “Scheduled” deployment which will run at whatever frequency you want Plus, you can use the “Secrets” pane to store API keys. Great job!

There are 2 ways to do this I think: - Hard code it like in the video and just deploy the app with Replit - With Replit Core you can deploy whenever you want at whatever frequency you want (learned this yesterday from Jeff)

That's what I thought as well a few weeks ago. But given how fast AI coding is improving I don't think that's the case for Zapier (in its current form).
