If you have listened to the podcast before, you know that the Brothers love automation. We are all for ways of increasing our efficiency (i.e., why use 2 steps when you can do it with 1?)…especially when there is some cool tech we can use to do it. Well, this week Alan introduces NFC tags as a way of using your phone as a way of trigging automation tasks. He walks through the process of programming the tags using Shortcuts, and we brainstorm about possible uses. As a bonus, the Brothers discuss some of the new features in iOS and MacOS that you may want to check out.

Products/Apps/Services mentioned in this episode:

• Apple Shortcuts
• NFC Tags (Amazon Link)
• Personal Voice (iOS)
• Videoconferencing services/tools (MacOS)
