This file holds every use case of this repo. Each one starts with a "## " heading and ends with its URL. - Run a persistent task agent on your Mac: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/pdparchitect-noodle/run-a-persistent-task-agent-on-your-mac/ - Coordinate a group of bots on one goal: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/pdparchitect-noodle/coordinate-a-group-of-bots-on-one-goal/ - Let a bot work in your signed-in browser: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/pdparchitect-noodle/let-a-bot-work-in-your-signed-in-browser/ - Chat with your Mac's bots from your phone: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/pdparchitect-noodle/chat-with-your-mac-bots-from-your-phone/ ## How to run a persistent task agent on your Mac with Noodle Repo: [pdparchitect/noodle](https://github.com/pdparchitect/noodle) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 30 min | Basis: From the README Install Noodle, connect your AI account and give a bot a recurring task with its own workspace. **Who it is for:** A knowledge worker on a Mac who already pays for an AI tool and repeatedly re-explains the same context for research or document work. **The problem:** Chat sessions forget your role, files and past work, so each new request starts from zero. **The outcome:** A named bot with its own workspace, backstory and history that picks up the same task each time you return. ### Steps 1. Download the Noodle DMG from the Noodle link in the README, open it and drag Noodle to Applications. 2. Open Noodle and follow Settings → Harness to install and sign in to your harness. 3. Create a bot, choose its harness and describe its role in the backstory. 4. Give it a task and the files or context it needs, and keep the bot's workspace for later runs. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Using the Noodle project at github.com/pdparchitect/noodle, guide a user through installing Noodle on macOS 26 and creating one bot for . Expected output: a bot named with a backstory and one task started. Verify that the bot's workspace shows the files you attached. ``` ### Caveat Noodle only runs on the harnesses it lists and needs macOS 26, so older Macs cannot use the main app. Disclaimer: Third-party repos we don't own or vouch for.

Create at least two bots in Noodle, each with a different role written into its backstory. 2. Create a group in Noodle and add the bots you want working together. 3. Describe the shared goal in the group and attach the files each bot needs. 4. Review each bot's replies in the group and adjust roles in Edit Bot if the work overlaps. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Using the Noodle repo at github.com/pdparchitect/noodle, set up a group of two bots to work toward . Expected output: a group containing both bots and a first shared message from each. Verify that each bot's backstory describes a different role. ``` ### Caveat The README describes groups but does not say how many bots a group can hold, so test with a small group first.

Download and install Noodle Browser from the Noodle Browser link in the README. 2. Create a browser in Noodle Browser and sign in to each site the bot needs. 3. Open the bot's Browsers tab in Noodle and add the browser. 4. Give the bot a web task and check the clickable previews it sends back. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Using the Noodle repo at github.com/pdparchitect/noodle, assign a Noodle Browser profile to a bot and ask it to check . Expected output: a short summary and at least one clickable preview in the conversation. Verify that the browser profile holds the sign-in the bot needs before you let it act. ``` ### Caveat Each browser keeps its own sign-ins and browsing data, so use a separate browser for sites you do not want the bot to reach. Risk, credentials: The bot acts inside pages where you are already signed in, so it can reach any account in that browser profile. Disclaimer: Third-party repos we don't own or vouch for.

Turn on Let My Devices Reach This Mac in Settings → Hub on your Mac. 2. Choose Add Device… in the same screen and scan the code with Noodle on your phone. 3. Open Noodle Mobile on iPhone or iPad from the TestFlight link in the README. 4. Keep the Mac awake and, for access away from home, let Noodle ask your router to forward its port or add your own address. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Using the Noodle repo at github.com/pdparchitect/noodle, pair an iPhone with a Mac running Noodle and send a test message to . Expected output: the bot replies in Noodle Mobile. Verify that the Mac is awake and that the phone shows the Mac as a Hub. ``` ### Caveat Noodle Mobile is a TestFlight beta and the Mac must stay awake while phone access is on.
