Personal Life
Example automations applied to the things that fill your day, week, and year.
Reminders, backups, bills, monitoring, summaries — adapt to your Google Workspace and Gmail.
InTouch is a general-purpose automation platform. This page shows how it can be applied to personal-life workflows using example skills and jobs from the InTouch Hub. The platform handles much more than what's shown here; these are starting points to adapt.
These are examples, not turnkey products. Read the README and YAML for each before running. Most read from Google Sheets you maintain and send digests to whichever channel you prefer (email, Slack, Discord, Telegram).
What you can automate
Things you forget
Birthdays, prescriptions, plant watering, the parking meter, grades dropping, gym Mondays. All the small "should I have remembered that?" anxieties handled by a Sheet + a daily check.
Money flowing in and out
Utility-bill-spike alerts. Stock portfolio drift. Daily price reports on a watchlist. Invoice reminders to friends-and-family clients who owe you. Deal-hunting on your wishlist.
Backups and cleanup
Documents backed up to S3 weekly. Photos pushed to Drive on a schedule. Downloads folder swept after 30 days. The boring hygiene that you don't actually do by hand.
Daily briefings
Morning summary of today's weather, calendar, and top news. Inbox triage at 7 AM. Meeting notes turned into action items. PDFs filled from templates.
Featured example skills
Inbox Summary
Daily summary of your unread emails — who's asking what, urgent items, follow-ups you owe.
Meeting Notes Summarizer
Paste raw meeting notes; get structured output: decisions made, action items with owners, open questions.
PDF Form Filler
Fill standard forms (W-9, leases, applications) from a JSON of values — saves the 10 minutes of repetitive typing.
Featured example jobs
Birthday Reminder
One week before each birthday on your list, email you a gift reminder. Sheet-backed. Google Calendar version also available.
Prescription Reminder
Track active prescriptions + refill dates. Daily alert N days before refill needed.
Plant Watering Reminder
One row per plant in a Sheet with last-watered date and frequency. Alerts when something's due.
Parking Reminder
Logged a parking spot? Set a return-by time? Alert before the meter runs out or you forget where the car is.
Stock Portfolio Tracker
Daily portfolio snapshot — your holdings, day's P&L, year-to-date performance. From your Sheet.
Utility Usage Tracker
Log monthly utility readings. Alert on unusual spikes (water leak? AC running 24/7?). Spot bill anomalies early.
Photo Backup to GDrive
Scheduled backup of a local photos folder to Google Drive. Pairs well with iPhone or Android sync.
Documents Backup to S3
Scheduled S3 backup of an important documents folder. Cheap insurance against ransomware or disk failure.
Deal Hunter
Watch a list of products at retailers. Alert when a price drops below your threshold.
