🤖 The Bot Lot

Charge for less tonight

A free bot for Tab, the assistant you text on iMessage or WhatsApp. Copy the prompt, send it to your Tab, and it runs the job for you.

Cheapo Charge Chimp

Tonight's cheapest charging plan, the moment you park at home (or at a set time each evening).

I charge my EV at home. Car: [make/model, battery]; charger: [kW]; tariff: [e.g. Octopus Agile or off-peak times]. Connect my car's app with a secure login link (e.g. MyVauxhall, Peugeot, Citroën, Kia Connect, Hyundai Bluelink, Tesla, VW We Connect, Ford, BMW, Renault, MG iSMART), or an OBD/ABRP feed. If it reports location and plug status, check every 15 minutes for it parking at home (or I'll text 'home'); if not, check nightly at [8pm]. Once a day, use its real battery % to send tonight's cheapest plan to be full by 7am: start time, hours, estimated cost. Add 'not plugged in yet' if reported. Never send the car commands. Start every message with 'Cheapo Charge Chimp:' on its own line.

Uses your car's real battery %. Cars that don't report location or plug status get the evening check instead. Costs are estimates from your tariff's prices.

The honest small print: each bot is a prompt your own Tab runs for you, using logins you save through a secure link (never by text). Bots only change or buy anything with your yes. Any figures are examples, not promises. Not affiliated with HP, Octopus Energy, TheFork, Amazon, Tesco or any car maker.
