I have spent a lot of time watching the official Zero Work crash course videos on Youtube seeking to do the most basic tasks first. (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7X7ThrPNPJAN8nfHlfguop5ylcZyJjsw). None of the videos are actually replicable. Lots of things may be obvious to them, so they don't mention it, but there is important guidance missing in the videos. If you follow the steps exactly as they do, the taskbot fails. Using a combination of 'trial and error' and doing what other users say in the video comments, you get some of the taskbots to work in the end. Things are mentioned in video as 'see in description' but then there is nothing there in the description (e.g. getting the correct CSS selector for a very simple scraping job).
I tried to be disciplined and not go straight to tasks I actually want to do, but learn the techniques first, but without workable up-to-date guidance it seems impossible. Frustrating.
Nice idea. I can see the potential, but the learning curve is just too steep. I consider myself being quite tech-savy and not giving up easily, but I cannot see anyone actually making this work and safe time. May as well do those things manually. Will try make.com instead (the basic plan is free)
