GETTING THINGS DONE · VIDEO DEMO · BY DUSTYWIRE

Planning the trip shouldn’t feel like another job.

You are looking forward to getting away. First, there is the forecast to check, the packing list to make, and the note you will want to find again when you finally open the suitcase.

Trip preparation often means bouncing between a weather page and a document, turning temperatures into decisions about what to bring. It is useful work. It is also work you might happily hand off.

Here is one way to start:

“I’m going to Chicago next weekend. Check the weather and make me a packing list in a note on my desktop.”

See Dusty help with a trip-planning task. The recording is edited for pace.

Meet DustyWire. Hand over some of the computer work.

DustyWire is an AI assistant for Windows and macOS that can work on your computer using the mouse and keyboard.

Describe what you want done. Dusty reads what is on your screen, presents a plan for your approval, and works through on-screen steps across apps and websites. You can watch the work and step in when you need to.

Some tasks are confusing. Others are just tedious. You do not have to be stuck to want a hand.

Let the preparation take up less of the excitement

In the approved demo, Dusty looks up Chicago weather, prepares a packing checklist, and saves a note on the desktop. The forecast in the recording is an example from that run, not current travel advice.

1. Give Dusty the destination, dates, and the kind of trip.
2. Review the plan for checking weather and preparing a list.
3. Let Dusty gather the information and write the note.
4. Review the forecast details and packing checklist before you rely on them.

Give Dusty actual dates and the things that matter

‘Next weekend’ makes sense in conversation, but specific dates help avoid ambiguity. Mention your planned activities, luggage limits, and any essentials that should always be included. A work trip, a hike, and a wedding call for different lists even in the same weather.

Check the forecast again near departure. Dusty’s saved note is a starting point you can review and adapt.

“Check the forecast for my destination on these dates and save a packing checklist for a three-day work trip.”

What else would you rather have done?

Maybe it is a form to prepare, a table to put together, or a setting you keep meaning to change. Pick one specific result and tell Dusty where to start.

Instead of giving up another chunk of your day to the clicking, let Dusty work through the task while you keep an eye on the result.
