GE’s latest ad features a girl named Molly who creates a number of clever inventions that can do her menial household chores for her.

At the beginning of the ad, Molly becomes annoyed by her dad when he asks her to take the trash out during a rainstorm. Upon completing the task, she has a lightbulb moment of sorts when she realizes there may be an easier way for her to get the garbage outside. With the help of a bicycle, some rope and a drill, she’s able to create a system that allows her to send the trash to its respective can from the comfort of her bedroom.

As the ad continues, Molly comes up with more ingenious inventions, not the least of which is an ATM-like booth that dispenses Girl Scout cookie boxes that she can operate from her room. As she gets older, her inventions become more and more savvy.

The spot culminates with Molly landing a job at GE, where she wows her supervisor by reprogramming some robots who in turn are able to do machine inspections faster than they could before.
