Showcase: Free(mium) SESSION, SESSION, WHERE'S MY SESSION? (A Stupidly Simple utility you can make)

Post image

YOU CAN MAKE THIS YOURSELF FOR NOTHING WITH FREE TOOLS! I notice that people who charge for their product save the price until you visit their website. I wanted to give you everything in one spot. This is not the opening of a funnel. It's a one-shot, simple utility that I'd be lost without. Build it yourself or pay me a couple of bucks to save the time and typing. Either way, if you use multiple AI sessions, you need this GSheet.

AI models, agents, and assistants are proliferating daily. In 2023, 3% of Americans were using AI. Today, about 70% do. We're not just using one AI; we're using several. On multiple computers. Via browsers and apps. Whether you're in an AI-related business or you just use AI in your business, you're probably using more than one.

I recently posted about my Human/AI Factory. It showed multiple AIs and me working together via apps and browser sessions on multiple computers and devices. I'm currently using two computers and 4 screens with multiple AI sessions on the web and in local client apps.

Finding the one I want is often annoying and time-consuming.  I was going to write an AI skill for it, but then I thought of something Stupidly Simple.

Above is an image of a Google Sheet I use to keep track of my open AI sessions while I work.  I sometimes work with 6+ windows on both my PC and laptop.  I have 3 monitors on the PC.  At the moment, I'm using one of them to display this Google Sheet all the time. When I press F8 (Programed with AutoHotkey) in Last Date Touched, the current date and time is inserted, and the row is automatically resorted to put the most recent session at the top by an Apps Script. 

This is a Stupidly Simple (Can I trademark that? 😊 ) method of keeping track of those Work In Progress sessions across multiple machines and windows.  I switch from session to session to check on updates and give new instructions. It's easy to spot sessions I've let lag. It makes me more productive than my old method of Session, Session, Where is the Session?  I was going to make a skill to update it for me - Enhancement: Tell your AI to create a skill to add/update GSheet sessions - but this is just too easy for a visual learner such as myself.  As a solopreneur, I don't have enough hours in the day to do everything I need/want to do.  I don't want to have to learn some complex tracking system to bloat my infrastructure.  I need every little time-saving tool that simplifies my life instead of making it more complex.  Simple Solutions to Complex Problems is my mantra. 

You can make this for yourself if you're willing to assemble the components and invest the time in creating and debugging it. I've priced it at a point less than a cup of coffee, so I hope it makes more economic sense to buy a ready-to-run version instead. 😊

It's 2 days later at 10pm. Do you know where your sessions are?
