OpenAdapt VS letsblockit

> Rabbit has said the device will be able to learn any app, if you teach it.

We're building this over at https://github.com/OpenAdaptAI/OpenAdapt. OpenAdapt learns to automate tasks in desktop apps by observing human demonstrations.

Early demo: https://twitter.com/abrichr/status/1784307190062342237 (more coming soon!)

The demo is overly simplistic to keep it short -- it also works with arbitrary applications and operations.

Also, we're open source. Contributions and feedback are welcome and encouraged :)

Very interesting, thank you for making this available!

At OpenAdapt (https://github.com/OpenAdaptAI/OpenAdapt) we are looking into using pm4py (https://github.com/pm4py) to extract a process graph from a recording of user actions.

I will look into this more closely. In the meantime, could the authors share their perspective on whether Memary could be useful here?

See https://github.com/OpenAdaptAI/OpenAdapt for an alternative that works with desktop GUIs.

Not mentioned: learning from demonstration. This is the approach we are taking at https://github.com/OpenAdaptAI/OpenAdapt.

Congratulations on shipping!

Check out https://github.com/OpenAdaptAI/OpenAdapt for an open source (MIT license) alternative that also works on desktop (including Citrix!)

https://github.com/mldsai/puterbot is designed for all desktop applications, including browsers. We're also working on a chrome extension to support reading/writing directly to DOM: https://github.com/OpenAdaptAI/OpenAdapt/pull/364

SEEKING VOLUNTEERS: https://letsblock.it - https://github.com/letsblockit/letsblockit/

A companion project for uBlockOrigin that curates a corpus of content blocking templates, and provides the server to create you personal list of content blocking rules. The official instance just hit 800 active lists and a lot of template suggestions have been filed recently.

The easiest way to contribute is to create new templates, fix or extend existing ones. You need to learn the uBlockOrigin syntax and how to properly target the right elements, happy to mentor! See recent PRs for examples and https://github.com/letsblockit/letsblockit/blob/main/data/fi... for documentation.

The server itself is built with Go and HTMX, it's pretty low-maintenance, but there's interesting improvements if you want to toy with it (need to open issues for these).

I use a combination of:

- https://letsblock.it/ and Ublock Origin

- The Unhook plugin for Firefox

- Blocking channels on my YouTube account when I see something inappropriate

- Adguard Home also blocks certain channels

to try to moderate the YouTube content for my kids. It's not perfect, but it does get rid of a lot of garbage (like YouTube Shorts).

You should submit these rules to https://letsblock.it ! AFAIK their distractions rules really only cover YouTube

They're horrible.

Luckily you can use ublock origin and letsblockit, or other browser plugins, to completely erase them from YouTube.

https://letsblock.it

https://letsblock.it : it allows you to create your own content blocking rule list from a corpus or community-maintained templates. It allows you to hide pinterest and stackoverflow clones from search results, remove shorts and upcoming streams from youtube, and many more. The project is now two years old and sustaining a slow but steady growth with an active community.
