Night Nurse Search

The Problem
Need an RN/RPN night nurse for benefits coverage. Dozens of agencies, slow email responses.
  • Researched & contacted 10 agencies automatically
  • Sent personalized emails from suri@redbricklabs.io
  • Cron job: every 3 hours, checks Gmail for replies
  • Filters for RN/RPN confirmation
  • Eliminated 2 (no RN/RPN, no availability), tracking 8 active

UPPAbaby Stroller Tune-Up

The Problem
UPPAbaby Toronto Hub — ONE Calendly page. Slots fill instantly.
  • 2 cron jobs: midnight + noon (twice daily)
  • Browser agent opens Calendly, checks every date through Feb 25
  • Slot found → auto-books with name/email/phone
  • First booking: Jan 30 at 10:00am
  • Cancelled for better date → cron kept hunting
  • Second booking: Feb 2 at 3:00pm

The Problem

Baby Registry Automation

The Problem
Friends buying gifts across Amazon + other registries. Hard to track.
  • Daily cron job at 8am
  • Browser agent logs into Amazon, checks "Thank You List"
  • Cross-references with master Google Sheet
  • Updates sheet with buyer names (blank cells only, adds "(cb)" suffix)
  • Alerts: "🎁 3 new items! Buyers: Sarah, Mike, Lisa"
