All All All right, this is my daily update for my right, this is my daily update for my right, this is my daily update for my build and public log. In my last video, build and public log. In my last video, build and public log. In my last video, I showed off this an email I showed off this an email I showed off this an email summarizer which will allow you to summarizer which will allow you to summarizer which will allow you to just upload or paste in an email or an just upload or paste in an email or an just upload or paste in an email or an email email email thread and you get a full summary thread and you get a full summary thread and you get a full summary uh action items, key points, all the all uh action items, key points, all the all uh action items, key points, all the all all the information summarized on one all the information summarized on one all the information summarized on one view or screen and then you’ll be able view or screen and then you’ll be able view or screen and then you’ll be able to chat with the email. So, the idea is to chat with the email. So, the idea is to chat with the email. So, the idea is like it could be many emails or just one like it could be many emails or just one like it could be many emails or just one big email and you could ask it big email and you could ask it big email and you could ask it questions. You could chat with it. Um, I questions. You could chat with it. Um, I questions. You could chat with it. Um, I didn’t get too much more done past that didn’t get too much more done past that didn’t get too much more done past that video. There’s some clean up, adding video. There’s some clean up, adding video. There’s some clean up, adding instructions to like how to actually go instructions to like how to actually go instructions to like how to actually go get the raw email or the EML get the raw email or the EML get the raw email or the EML file. I’m just polishing everything up, file. I’m just polishing everything up, file. I’m just polishing everything up, getting that ready to to launch sometime getting that ready to to launch sometime getting that ready to to launch sometime this week, hopefully very soon. The last this week, hopefully very soon. The last this week, hopefully very soon. The last thing I’m doing is I’m I’m trying to thing I’m doing is I’m I’m trying to thing I’m doing is I’m I’m trying to lock it down lock it down lock it down so you know a bot or something can’t so you know a bot or something can’t so you know a bot or something can’t come and just hit this thing like crazy come and just hit this thing like crazy come and just hit this thing like crazy because with AI now it’s easy to make because with AI now it’s easy to make because with AI now it’s easy to make scripts and bots. So um it’s like more scripts and bots. So um it’s like more scripts and bots. So um it’s like more vital than ever to to really lock things vital than ever to to really lock things vital than ever to to really lock things down. Does cost money. This is a real AI down. Does cost money. This is a real AI down. Does cost money. This is a real AI agent agent agent uh running on agents code my AI agent uh running on agents code my AI agent uh running on agents code my AI agent API service. So that means uh it costs API service. So that means uh it costs API service. So that means uh it costs money. So, one thing I thought a lot money. So, one thing I thought a lot money. So, one thing I thought a lot about uh this weekend about uh this weekend about uh this weekend was kind of was kind of was kind of sucks. It kind of sucks that you have to sucks. It kind of sucks that you have to sucks. It kind of sucks that you have to uh go get the raw email file or paste a uh go get the raw email file or paste a uh go get the raw email file or paste a raw email in. It’s so much easier to raw email in. It’s so much easier to raw email in. It’s so much easier to send it an email. I thought a lot about send it an email. I thought a lot about send it an email. I thought a lot about converting converting converting this AI chat email into that tool. this AI chat email into that tool. this AI chat email into that tool. Um, so you load the page here and it and Um, so you load the page here and it and Um, so you load the page here and it and it does a bunch of security checks to it does a bunch of security checks to it does a bunch of security checks to stop bots and you get a temporary email stop bots and you get a temporary email stop bots and you get a temporary email address and you can just hit compose address and you can just hit compose address and you can just hit compose right here and my thinking is combine right here and my thinking is combine right here and my thinking is combine the two. Just like keep the domain name. the two. Just like keep the domain name. the two. Just like keep the domain name. That’s perfect domain name. So, you That’s perfect domain name. So, you That’s perfect domain name. So, you know, you go to the page and you it’s know, you go to the page and you it’s know, you go to the page and you it’s like, “Hey, send an email here and and like, “Hey, send an email here and and like, “Hey, send an email here and and it pulls and it waits and then when you it pulls and it waits and then when you it pulls and it waits and then when you actually uh forward the email or actually uh forward the email or actually uh forward the email or CC, you you get the results, you get the CC, you you get the results, you get the CC, you you get the results, you get the summary, you can view the email, you can summary, you can view the email, you can summary, you can view the email, you can chat with it right there on the screen.” chat with it right there on the screen.” chat with it right there on the screen.” I think that’s way better than than I think that’s way better than than I think that’s way better than than this. I don’t think a lot of people are this. I don’t think a lot of people are this. I don’t think a lot of people are going to do this. You know what I mean? going to do this. You know what I mean? going to do this. You know what I mean? I don’t think it’s that useful of a I don’t think it’s that useful of a I don’t think it’s that useful of a tool. I think it’s much much faster to tool. I think it’s much much faster to tool. I think it’s much much faster to just forward off an email really quick just forward off an email really quick just forward off an email really quick to that email address, but it’s a few to that email address, but it’s a few to that email address, but it’s a few clicks and in your email clients a few clicks and in your email clients a few clicks and in your email clients a few clicks. It’s not that bad to get this clicks. It’s not that bad to get this clicks. It’s not that bad to get this file. So, I don’t know. I’m giving it file. So, I don’t know. I’m giving it file. So, I don’t know. I’m giving it that’s kind of what’s in the back of my that’s kind of what’s in the back of my that’s kind of what’s in the back of my head. Moving on to questions and head. Moving on to questions and head. Moving on to questions and comments. Looks good and useful, but I comments. Looks good and useful, but I comments. Looks good and useful, but I don’t see much building here in don’t see much building here in don’t see much building here in public. I assume you fit the email. public.

Summary
Daily Update: Email Summarizer & Seal Adventure
In today’s update, I detailed my progress on an email summarizer tool that extracts key points, action items, and enables chat interaction with an email thread. I discussed the importance of securing the tool from automated bot attacks and my ideas for simplifying the process by integrating email forwarding. I also answered viewer comments and questions about the project. Later, I recounted my personal experience at a coastal bay where I encountered seals up close—one even nearly kissed me, creating a moment of surprise and humor during a boat tour. I described the beautiful, affluent seaside area with its tourist attractions and fresh seafood, sharing my delight in the unique animal interactions and scenic views. I remain open to feedback and continuously look to improve my projects while balancing work and personal adventures.
