Sure, I use Raycast, including its Raycast AI feature and snippets feature. I also have Raycast script commands (mostly specially-formatted shell and Python scripts) that integrate with internal systems, such as our firewall, help desk, and MDM systems, as well as Linux servers via SSH.

For help desk tickets, I have a script that pulls new tickets, reads the information for each one, determines a likely next action (response, resolution, or follow-up questions), and asks me if I want to proceed with the response. Most of the time, I hit "y" + Enter, and the script handles the response.

The responses are always well-written, cheery, and concise, regardless of my current mood or level of distraction, and I've received good feedback on them.

I also use the Raycast AI commands "Improve Writing" and "Summarize" several times a day on emails, documentation, tickets, and other text. I select the text in any window, hit a hotkey to launch the action, and it quickly performs the action on the selected text and optionally replaces the selected text or copies it to my clipboard. It's a very efficient process.

My goal is to automate anything I do at least once per day.

In addition to Raycast, I had much of this set up on Alfred (what I used prior), Albert and now ulauncher on my Linux box, and the launcher that comes with Power Toys on Windows. I could also do all of this with scripts in zsh.
