ChatGPT 4.1 worked like magic for my Redact AI Agent (Rodeo) | Build in public E101

All right, this is my daily update for All right, this is my daily update for All right, this is my daily update for my build and public log. What am I doing my build and public log. What am I doing my build and public log. What am I doing right now? I’m trying to So, I need to right now? I’m trying to So, I need to right now? I’m trying to So, I need to know I I need more visibility into like know I I need more visibility into like know I I need more visibility into like what people are doing, what’s happening. what people are doing, what’s happening. what people are doing, what’s happening. Um, a few people did sign up for agents Um, a few people did sign up for agents Um, a few people did sign up for agents code, my AI agent API service, but I I code, my AI agent API service, but I I code, my AI agent API service, but I I need a lot more data. I could just like need a lot more data. I could just like need a lot more data. I could just like glance at and know like, oh, somebody glance at and know like, oh, somebody glance at and know like, oh, somebody created an API key, somebody somebody created an API key, somebody somebody created an API key, somebody somebody like ran an agent, what agents ran. I I like ran an agent, what agents ran. I I like ran an agent, what agents ran. I I just need some I need I need a dashboard just need some I need I need a dashboard just need some I need I need a dashboard I could I could just glance at and see I could I could just glance at and see I could I could just glance at and see like, oh, look, a numbers going up. Um I like, oh, look, a numbers going up. Um I like, oh, look, a numbers going up. Um I tried so I I experimented with using a tried so I I experimented with using a tried so I I experimented with using a um product called Posttog. um product called Posttog. um product called Posttog. Posttog looks really good but damn it’s Posttog looks really good but damn it’s Posttog looks really good but damn it’s really complicated and I really feel really complicated and I really feel really complicated and I really feel like it’s overkill for for what I’m like it’s overkill for for what I’m like it’s overkill for for what I’m doing. Posttog is more for like big doing. Posttog is more for like big doing. Posttog is more for like big projects, big big products like a tool projects, big big products like a tool projects, big big products like a tool that companies pay money for. You know that companies pay money for. You know that companies pay money for. You know they have big teams or or teams. cuz I’m they have big teams or or teams. cuz I’m they have big teams or or teams. cuz I’m just one solo entrepreneur. That that’s just one solo entrepreneur. That that’s just one solo entrepreneur. That that’s all way too much. I I just think it’s all way too much. I I just think it’s all way too much. I I just think it’s overkill. So, I started working on a a overkill. So, I started working on a a overkill. So, I started working on a a dashboard. It’s going to be slashopen dashboard. It’s going to be slashopen dashboard. It’s going to be slashopen and it’s going to be because I thought, and it’s going to be because I thought, and it’s going to be because I thought, well, cuz I build them public, you well, cuz I build them public, you well, cuz I build them public, you should be able to go to slashopen and should be able to go to slashopen and should be able to go to slashopen and see the dashboard yourself. Uh I have an see the dashboard yourself. Uh I have an see the dashboard yourself. Uh I have an API endpoint. I have data like coming to API endpoint. I have data like coming to API endpoint. I have data like coming to to the to the front end, but now I I to the to the front end, but now I I to the to the front end, but now I I need need to finish building out that need need to finish building out that need need to finish building out that page. I’ve been way too busy to do too page. I’ve been way too busy to do too page. I’ve been way too busy to do too much work. Just a little bit of work much work. Just a little bit of work much work. Just a little bit of work here and there this week. Had to get here and there this week. Had to get here and there this week. Had to get this UK immigration stuff done, which this UK immigration stuff done, which this UK immigration stuff done, which I’m going to talk about. It’s actually I’m going to talk about. It’s actually I’m going to talk about. It’s actually kind of interesting. What was my kind of interesting. What was my kind of interesting. What was my horrific task? I we we we need like horrific task? I we we we need like horrific task? I we we we need like overwhelming evidence to prove that me overwhelming evidence to prove that me overwhelming evidence to prove that me and my partner, my girlfriend, we’re and my partner, my girlfriend, we’re and my partner, my girlfriend, we’re like really in a relationship and we are like really in a relationship and we are like really in a relationship and we are we have been for years. uh so that we we have been for years. uh so that we we have been for years. uh so that we need to show our chat log for the last need to show our chat log for the last need to show our chat log for the last like 3 like 3 like 3 years. So we exported our chat from years. So we exported our chat from years. So we exported our chat from WhatsApp because that’s primarily how we WhatsApp because that’s primarily how we WhatsApp because that’s primarily how we chat and it was one over 100,000 lines chat and it was one over 100,000 lines chat and it was one over 100,000 lines and we were like what the That was and we were like what the That was and we were like what the That was like no images um no audio files or like no images um no audio files or like no images um no audio files or anything. anything. anything. So, we’re like, “How do we That’s a So, we’re like, “How do we That’s a So, we’re like, “How do we That’s a book. That’s like book. That’s like book. That’s like literally a thick decent sized book to literally a thick decent sized book to literally a thick decent sized book to go go go through. We We’re There’s no way in hell through. We We’re There’s no way in hell through. We We’re There’s no way in hell we’re just going to send the entire we’re just going to send the entire we’re just going to send the entire thing cuz we’re we’re in a relationship. thing cuz we’re we’re in a relationship. thing cuz we’re we’re in a relationship. We talk about private sensitive things We talk about private sensitive things We talk about private sensitive things that we don’t want government officials that we don’t want government officials that we don’t want government officials to know about. That’s just insane. Uh to know about. That’s just insane. Uh to know about. That’s just insane. Uh it’s pretty wild to me that we have to it’s pretty wild to me that we have to it’s pretty wild to me that we have to send them anything.” Um it’s either that send them anything.” Um it’s either that send them anything.” Um it’s either that or like manually go through every month. or like manually go through every month. or like manually go through every month. So there’s 12 months times about 3 years So there’s 12 months times about 3 years So there’s 12 months times about 3 years and go select conversations, but then and go select conversations, but then and go select conversations, but then there’s all these other key pieces of there’s all these other key pieces of there’s all these other key pieces of the conversation we would need to send. the conversation we would need to send. the conversation we would need to send. We’re just like, “Yeah, that.” So We’re just like, “Yeah, that.” So We’re just like, “Yeah, that.” So my task was to go through and redact my task was to go through and redact my task was to go through and redact sensitive private sensitive private sensitive private things. Of course, I used I built that things. Of course, I used I built that things. Of course, I used I built that kind of agent thing. I actually think I kind of agent thing. I actually think I kind of agent thing. I actually think I should build a real actual agent, but it should build a real actual agent, but it should build a real actual agent, but it would be really really hard to do would be really really hard to do would be really really hard to do because I it was a lot of manual work. because I it was a lot of manual work. because I it was a lot of manual work. So what I did, and this is very So what I did, and this is very So what I did, and this is very interesting to me. So I started this interesting to me. So I started this interesting to me. So I started this like a week or two ago. I broke up the like a week or two ago. I broke up the like a week or two ago. I broke up the entire thing into chunks of about a entire thing into chunks of about a entire thing into chunks of about a hundred or so lines. So like a thousand hundred or so lines. So like a thousand hundred or so lines. So like a thousand chunks. Okay. So 100 thousand about a chunks. Okay. So 100 thousand about a chunks. Okay. So 100 thousand about a thousand chunks. thousand chunks. thousand chunks. I then added like line numbers just so I then added like line numbers just so I then added like line numbers just so the LLM is like it the LLMs do better the LLM is like it the LLMs do better the LLM is like it the LLMs do better when it’s like line one, line two, line when it’s like line one, line two, line when it’s like line one, line two, line three. I then built the prompt. I looped three. I then built the prompt. I looped three. I then built the prompt. I looped through all the files, sent every chunk through all the files, sent every chunk through all the files, sent every chunk to an LLM and said like, “Hey, this is to an LLM and said like, “Hey, this is to an LLM and said like, “Hey, this is what it’s for. Reduct this, this, this, what it’s for. Reduct this, this, this, what it’s for. Reduct this, this, this, and that.” The interesting part is I I and that.” The interesting part is I I and that.” The interesting part is I I originally did this with like originally did this with like originally did this with like 03 with Cha GPT 03 with Cha GPT 03 with Cha GPT 03 mini or and it sucked. I was I was 03 mini or and it sucked. I was I was 03 mini or and it sucked. I was I was like, man, this is going to take a while like, man, this is going to take a while like, man, this is going to take a while to figure out. I was like, this sucks. to figure out. I was like, this sucks. to figure out. I was like, this sucks. The prompt is not working. This is like The prompt is not working. This is like The prompt is not working. This is like really crap. And then chat GPT 4.1 4 really crap. And then chat GPT 4.1 4 really crap. And then chat GPT 4.1 4 point you know 04 mini high blah blah point you know 04 mini high blah blah point you know 04 mini high blah blah blah all that dropped. So I immediately blah all that dropped. So I immediately blah all that dropped. So I immediately switched to 4.1 which is only available switched to 4.1 which is only available switched to 4.1 which is only available in the API. This is not available in the in the API. This is not available in the in the API. This is not available in the chat or at least it wasn’t as of like chat or at least it wasn’t as of like chat or at least it wasn’t as of like yesterday. And like magic what is 41? 41 yesterday. And like magic what is 41? 41 yesterday. And like magic what is 41? 41 is the massive massive model they spent is the massive massive model they spent is the massive massive model they spent a really long time training a really long time training a really long time training 4.5 but to steal down to be like not as 4.5 but to steal down to be like not as 4.5 but to steal down to be like not as big expensive heavy to run more big expensive heavy to run more big expensive heavy to run more efficiently. It was like magic. It just efficiently. It was like magic. It just efficiently. It was like magic. It just worked. It just worked. This is exactly worked. It just worked. This is exactly worked. It just worked. This is exactly what I’m talking about all the time. I I what I’m talking about all the time. I I what I’m talking about all the time. I I try to build my agents where it’s a try to build my agents where it’s a try to build my agents where it’s a little like, yeah, it’s good enough, but little like, yeah, it’s good enough, but little like, yeah, it’s good enough, but as the models get better, the agents as the models get better, the agents as the models get better, the agents just should get better. And that’s just should get better. And that’s just should get better. And that’s exactly what happened here. And I was exactly what happened here. And I was exactly what happened here. And I was like, “God damn, it is so much better like, “God damn, it is so much better like, “God damn, it is so much better now the 4.1.” So I whipped through it. now the 4.1.” So I whipped through it. now the 4.1.” So I whipped through it. It was it was hell. It took like 10 It was it was hell. It took like 10 It was it was hell. It took like 10 hours each person going through this hours each person going through this hours each person going through this thing. Even like seeing reducted because thing. Even like seeing reducted because thing. Even like seeing reducted because I don’t know. We had to do like a lot of I don’t know. We had to do like a lot of I don’t know. We had to do like a lot of work. We had to like manually go through work. We had to like manually go through work. We had to like manually go through like 10% of it. Make sure the AI was like 10% of it. Make sure the AI was like 10% of it. Make sure the AI was really the agent was really um redacting really the agent was really um redacting really the agent was really um redacting what we want. We had to like go through what we want. We had to like go through what we want. We had to like go through and be like, “Okay, we don’t want to and be like, “Okay, we don’t want to and be like, “Okay, we don’t want to redact too much. It looks like a little redact too much. It looks like a little redact too much. It looks like a little weird and suspicious. let’s like keep weird and suspicious. let’s like keep weird and suspicious. let’s like keep some stuff in because it was overly some stuff in because it was overly some stuff in because it was overly cautious. So, we like went through and cautious. So, we like went through and cautious. So, we like went through and said like keep this, keep this, keep said like keep this, keep this, keep said like keep this, keep this, keep this. I did this and then I did it this. I did this and then I did it this. I did this and then I did it twice. So, I changed the prompt a little twice. So, I changed the prompt a little twice. So, I changed the prompt a little bit and I I refed it all those chunks bit and I I refed it all those chunks bit and I I refed it all those chunks with reducted lines and it found a few with reducted lines and it found a few with reducted lines and it found a few found a bit more stuff. So, that was found a bit more stuff. So, that was found a bit more stuff. So, that was interesting. I had to go through it interesting. I had to go through it interesting. I had to go through it twice, but oh my god, it was so I I’ve twice, but oh my god, it was so I I’ve twice, but oh my god, it was so I I’ve that’s what I’ve been working on the that’s what I’ve been working on the that’s what I’ve been working on the last several days. Um, they didn’t get last several days. Um, they didn’t get last several days. Um, they didn’t get too much done for the business cuz I had too much done for the business cuz I had too much done for the business cuz I had to get that done. I think I should have to get that done. I think I should have to get that done. I think I should have used the Google Gemini. I uh the new used the Google Gemini. I uh the new used the Google Gemini. I uh the new flash one that’s like super super cheap. flash one that’s like super super cheap. flash one that’s like super super cheap. I should have tried that. That was going I should have tried that. That was going I should have tried that. That was going to be what I was going to do next if it to be what I was going to do next if it to be what I was going to do next if it wasn’t working very well, but it works wasn’t working very well, but it works wasn’t working very well, but it works so well with so well with so well with 4.1. Yeah. And then I’m playing around 4.1. Yeah. And then I’m playing around 4.1. Yeah. And then I’m playing around with uh tools to move faster codewise. with uh tools to move faster codewise. with uh tools to move faster codewise. There’s some interesting uh tools that There’s some interesting uh tools that There’s some interesting uh tools that are kind of an agent built on top of are kind of an agent built on top of are kind of an agent built on top of cursor. I want to do a video on that cursor. I want to do a video on that cursor. I want to do a video on that soon. That’s very interesting. But soon. That’s very interesting. But soon. That’s very interesting. But first, I need to play around with that first, I need to play around with that first, I need to play around with that much more. Very interesting much more. Very interesting much more. Very interesting stuff. Uh, that’s it for today. Let’s stuff. Uh, that’s it for today. Let’s stuff. Uh, that’s it for today. Let’s see if there’s any questions or see if there’s any questions or see if there’s any questions or comments. No questions or comments comments. No questions or comments comments. No questions or comments today, unfortunately. today, unfortunately. today, unfortunately. Um, I’ll get there. I will get there. Um, I’ll get there. I will get there. Um, I’ll get there. I will get there. Uh, especially I think when I have more Uh, especially I think when I have more Uh, especially I think when I have more agents and this thing becomes more agents and this thing becomes more agents and this thing becomes more useful, I think I’ll have a lot more useful, I think I’ll have a lot more useful, I think I’ll have a lot more interesting things to show off in the interesting things to show off in the interesting things to show off in the coming weeks. So stay coming weeks. So stay coming weeks. So stay tuned. On to my random story for today. tuned. On to my random story for today. tuned. On to my random story for today. One One One of the biggest of the biggest of the biggest um rodeos in the United in the western um rodeos in the United in the western um rodeos in the United in the western half especially in the western half of half especially in the western half of half especially in the western half of the United States is happening today the United States is happening today the United States is happening today across the street from where I’m across the street from where I’m across the street from where I’m staying.

I was like mesmerized by the drones. I was like mesmerized by the drones. I thought that was the coolest thing. They thought that was the coolest thing. They thought that was the coolest thing. They set it up right set it up right set it up right literally literally right in front of literally literally right in front of literally literally right in front of this house where I’m staying right now. this house where I’m staying right now. this house where I’m staying right now. And uh this year they were I saw them And uh this year they were I saw them And uh this year they were I saw them practicing and I got to see them like practicing and I got to see them like practicing and I got to see them like across the street right like right out across the street right like right out across the street right like right out the window. I could literally look out the window. I could literally look out the window. I could literally look out the window right here and see them. Uh I the window right here and see them. Uh I the window right here and see them. Uh I got to see them practice and you know got to see them practice and you know got to see them practice and you know they’re they they’re setting it up and they’re they they’re setting it up and they’re they they’re setting it up and very interesting. That’s was that’s what very interesting. That’s was that’s what very interesting. That’s was that’s what I’m much more into that than the stupid I’m much more into that than the stupid I’m much more into that than the stupid radio and the Bulls and all that and the radio and the Bulls and all that and the radio and the Bulls and all that and the Cowboys or whatever. Uh I mean it really Cowboys or whatever. Uh I mean it really Cowboys or whatever. Uh I mean it really makes you think uh especially with like makes you think uh especially with like makes you think uh especially with like the the Ukraine war and stuff that’s the the Ukraine war and stuff that’s the the Ukraine war and stuff that’s really the future like you know them really the future like you know them really the future like you know them dancing around with lights and you know dancing around with lights and you know dancing around with lights and you know syn synchronized to music is like that syn synchronized to music is like that syn synchronized to music is like that that is the future like war like you go that is the future like war like you go that is the future like war like you go you go to the front line of the Ukraine you go to the front line of the Ukraine you go to the front line of the Ukraine Russian war it’s all drones and it’s Russian war it’s all drones and it’s Russian war it’s all drones and it’s like I can picture a swarm like that you like I can picture a swarm like that you like I can picture a swarm like that you know like swarming on soldiers like it’s know like swarming on soldiers like it’s know like swarming on soldiers like it’s that’s Crazy So that’s mo that was that’s Crazy So that’s mo that was that’s Crazy So that’s mo that was interesting to see like just how good uh interesting to see like just how good uh interesting to see like just how good uh how how well it works. You know, if this how how well it works. You know, if this how how well it works. You know, if this is like a commercial company here that is like a commercial company here that is like a commercial company here that does this for show, imagine what’s going does this for show, imagine what’s going does this for show, imagine what’s going to be possible for like war with like to be possible for like war with like to be possible for like war with like really militarized little drones. It’s really militarized little drones. It’s really militarized little drones. It’s pretty wild stuff. kind of makes me pretty wild stuff. kind of makes me pretty wild stuff. kind of makes me wonder wonder wonder why we don’t have a weapons per gun why we don’t have a weapons per gun why we don’t have a weapons per gun that’s like we need 1 billion of these that’s like we need 1 billion of these that’s like we need 1 billion of these things pumped out. You know what I mean? things pumped out. You know what I mean? things pumped out. You know what I mean? But it was interesting to see like how But it was interesting to see like how But it was interesting to see like how many people they need to to do it. It’s many people they need to to do it. It’s many people they need to to do it. It’s a fair fair fair amount. I wonder how a fair fair fair amount. I wonder how a fair fair fair amount. I wonder how much we could progress that technology much we could progress that technology much we could progress that technology to be uh like there’s two operators and to be uh like there’s two operators and to be uh like there’s two operators and then there’s a swarm of you know tens of then there’s a swarm of you know tens of then there’s a swarm of you know tens of thousands. But really fascinating stuff. thousands. But really fascinating stuff. thousands. But really fascinating stuff. In the one night we watched it, it was In the one night we watched it, it was In the one night we watched it, it was very very windy and it kind of like they very very windy and it kind of like they very very windy and it kind of like they were moving around a bit too much, but were moving around a bit too much, but were moving around a bit too much, but still it’s pretty pretty good for it still it’s pretty pretty good for it still it’s pretty pretty good for it being a really windy night. Really being a really windy night. Really being a really windy night. Really fascinating stuff. Uh but my my my fascinating stuff. Uh but my my my fascinating stuff. Uh but my my my girlfriend was very happy we went to the girlfriend was very happy we went to the girlfriend was very happy we went to the rodeo. She was she loved it. She thought rodeo. She was she loved it. She thought rodeo. She was she loved it. She thought it was like so American to come here cuz it was like so American to come here cuz it was like so American to come here cuz she’s European. But to come here and she’s European. But to come here and she’s European. But to come here and like to a real American rodeo with like like to a real American rodeo with like like to a real American rodeo with like real cowboys and everyone dressed up, real cowboys and everyone dressed up, real cowboys and everyone dressed up, she got a kick out of it. me. I was just she got a kick out of it. me. I was just she got a kick out of it. me. I was just obsessing over the obsessing over the obsessing over the drones. Anyways, that’s all I got for drones. Anyways, that’s all I got for drones. Anyways, that’s all I got for today. More work more work to come. today. More work more work to come. today. More work more work to come. Immigration stuff is done. So, more Immigration stuff is done. So, more Immigration stuff is done. So, more work I’ll I’ll be working back to my work I’ll I’ll be working back to my work I’ll I’ll be working back to my normal schedule after this. CM.
