Most of my automation has to do with personal data backups/exports and various tools I've developed to process it and use [0]. That would be hundreds of jobs scattered across several of my devices.

I have a tool I wrote which is doing periodic searches for specified queries on different sites and generates RSS feeds with new results + HTML reports (so I can find people with overlapping interests, e.g. if the same person matched against multiple queries) [2]. Sort of like google alerts, but much better. So there is some daily scraping for that.

I'm using a somewhat hacky tool which 'compiles' a python spec for jobs to systemd and makes it very easy to maintain. [1]

As for making my day easier.. not always yet, but certainly makes it more fun. I live by the motto "Never spend 6 minutes doing something by hand when you can spend 6 hours failing to automate it" :)
