Building a One-Tap AI Automation Macro Pad with Claude
BugInfinite5784 · reddit · 2026-07-16
A developer shared an intense AI automation workflow: to avoid manually cleaning a messy downloads folder, they had Claude write a script for automatic file sorting. For easier access, they built a custom 3x3 physical macro pad, binding various AI-generated scripts and macros to physical keys. Beyond file organization, a single button can trigger FreeCAD model exports, slicing, and 3D printing tasks. The entire system includes custom hardware, firmware, an OLED screen, and a Windows app, showcasing brilliant creativity in integrating AI code into daily physical workflows.
