This morning, we had a local plumber come to fix a few random plumbing issues we've got around the house. The first problem we asked Plumber Matt to look at was our basement water pump alarm, which had been randomly beeping for a while, and we weren't quite sure what the problem was.

Enter Plumber Matt, who did the following:

• Checked the pump alarm make - 'Edincare AquaSafe'

• Told us he didn't know anything about our specific alarm

• Went and Googled the make to see if he could find anything about it

• Google came back with a generic answer, so he gave up

• So told us he couldn't fix it, and referred us to another specialist £150 a visit company, to fix it

What Plumber Matt should have done is what I did, which was:

• I went onto AskAMCO (our custom GPT - and SuperPower v1 Prototype)

• Entered the prompt 'Edincare AquaSafe alarm beeping and flashing, how to fix?'

• Within 5 seconds, the machine told me to press a couple of buttons in various sequences, and hey presto - like magic, the problem was fixed.

Lessons learnt?

• If only Plumber Matt knew about Superpower.Engineer and the power of AI

• Google is comparatively scarily bad - even in comparison to our V1 (which is itself about 80% good)

• I just saved myself £150
