If the reports / alerts don't include any "new/changed record" type jobs, just convert everything to Visual Cut.  That's what we've done with most of our old Business Alerts clients.

What @Kevin Moyes said. If you go Visual Cut - download the PDF manual into your favorite AI and it will greatly help you with formatting command line arguments and understand other configuration options.

Thanks Guys,

I used VC years ago when I was at Blytheco. Pretty slick and the interface was fairly straightforward. Not sure how much it's changed of late.

Wayne, I have not yet flipped the switch on AI as I am very suspicious by nature. Can you recommend a good (and maybe free) entry point into that world? I have pretty much just glanced over some of your (and others') posts that discuss it.

I use ChatGPT or Gemini ( Google ).

It's quite amazing. I had a project about 6 months ago where I had to write a bunch of batch files and use Visual Cut. Using AI to give me the syntax and debug various portions of code was an amazing shortcut. 

It's also great on creating Crystal Report formulas and just about anything else.

And for research beyond just coding and formulas I am not almost always using the "Deep Research" function from both Chat GPT and Gemini. It does a great job of going back and create a briefing about any type of topic. My test case has always been "Tell me about the history of State of the Art Accounting Software". In the early days it seemed to hallucinate and make stuff up. I create the same test last night and so far as I can tell it's accurate.

Example ( from my Chat GPT Deep Research )
