What they did
A Redditor watched his fiancée's process for a client task that usually takes her 10+ hours, wrote a detailed Codex skill with reference files and scripts, and used computer use because her work platforms don't connect to Codex. Three tasks due by 8am took 1h, 50min and 1h30.
How it went
About 3.5 hours instead of 30+; he estimates 40+ hours a month saved on this task.
Worth knowing
- Self-reported Reddit post; the task itself isn't named. He upgraded her plan to make it work.
