zoe_dkon Ask HN: What are you working on?

I build AI tools to automate Nursing tasks in Aged Care.

I'm an Aged Care nurse of 13 years, taught myself to code 5 years ago and am obsessed about automating nursing tasks(i.e auditing, funding, quality) because the volume of admin work that is required by Nurses is absurd and the industry is very far behind and very resistant to: change, spending money and technology in general.

I have been shouting into an empty void the last 3 years but that is okay, i am patient.

I mostly focus on standalone, local AI tools that do a task and are open ended(manual file upload) to suit the 20 million different software in aged care. Keep it all as simple as possible and minimal hurdles.

Generally using llama.cpp, Qwen3, python and then wrapping in some sort of ugly GUI or more recently- AutoHotKey. The nurses feel powerful pressing a few buttons with ahk and watching work be done. (Avoids command line, avoids me being paralyzed by front end stuff).

I don't know why i am sharing this as i am way out of my depth here but there you go. If anyone else is in the Aged Care space, give me a shout. *edit because i can't format new lines or spell.

Thank you Simon I will check it out.

Noob question - how might I call this from my Python script? Say as a replacement gpt3.5 turbo of sorts. Is there an option without GUI?

This is great thank you, very user friendly (exhibit a: me)

I have also added a version with a GUI to the repo.

I have version 2 with a GUI i am just putting finishes touches on if that is helpful? Just using Tkinter so nothing earth shattering but then are able to turn some options on/off, select files etc easier.

No idea to be honest.

I was massaging my calf with a gun last week thinking about how wonderful it will be to go to bed…then my brain said "We could automate video editing with A.I". 2 hours later(not asleep) and 10 pages of brain dumping written down - this is project 1 of 2 I’m doing, apparently.

I mean it’s handy for sure, I do terrible videos just editing in Shotcut that require a lot of takes to record because I suck, but mostly I wanted to share it in case anyone finds it useful and I can contribute a bit. (And get demolished with feedback to help improve.)
