All right, this is my update for my All right, this is my update for my All right, this is my update for my build and public log. build and public log. build and public log. What have I been updated the last day or What have I been updated the last day or What have I been updated the last day or two? two? two? I’ve been doing more work on agents I’ve been doing more work on agents I’ve been doing more work on agents code, my AI agent API service where I code, my AI agent API service where I code, my AI agent API service where I built in this new agent in email built in this new agent in email built in this new agent in email summarizer agent. Uh, I’m trying to make summarizer agent. Uh, I’m trying to make summarizer agent. Uh, I’m trying to make a decent little demo page for it so you a decent little demo page for it so you a decent little demo page for it so you can like actually click see a real demo. can like actually click see a real demo. can like actually click see a real demo. Goes like it’s kind of like a fake inbox Goes like it’s kind of like a fake inbox Goes like it’s kind of like a fake inbox is what I’m trying to do. Uh, still is what I’m trying to do. Uh, still is what I’m trying to do. Uh, still needs a little bit of work, but uh, you needs a little bit of work, but uh, you needs a little bit of work, but uh, you click on like an email and it goes and click on like an email and it goes and click on like an email and it goes and calls the agent. calls the agent. calls the agent. Uh, then it shows you what it produces. Uh, then it shows you what it produces. Uh, then it shows you what it produces. So it actually calls the agent, but it So it actually calls the agent, but it So it actually calls the agent, but it is caching things. So is caching things. So is caching things. So yeah, just just to make it like not be yeah, just just to make it like not be yeah, just just to make it like not be crazy expensive uh for demo per crazy expensive uh for demo per crazy expensive uh for demo per purposes. I need to be scrappy and not purposes. I need to be scrappy and not purposes. I need to be scrappy and not have it like cost a lot of money cuz have it like cost a lot of money cuz have it like cost a lot of money cuz someone could just go there and abuse it someone could just go there and abuse it someone could just go there and abuse it and you know click click on it a million and you know click click on it a million and you know click click on it a million times and charge money. Uh I have to times and charge money. Uh I have to times and charge money. Uh I have to prevent that kind of abuse. prevent that kind of abuse. prevent that kind of abuse. Uh yeah, so I’m almost done with this. Uh yeah, so I’m almost done with this. Uh yeah, so I’m almost done with this. This has been a real pain actually. This has been a real pain actually. This has been a real pain actually. Almost done with this. And then I’m Almost done with this. And then I’m Almost done with this. And then I’m going to continue on making that agent going to continue on making that agent going to continue on making that agent better. I’m going to add support for better. I’m going to add support for better. I’m going to add support for threads. Uh update this with the last threads. Uh update this with the last threads. Uh update this with the last two examples of like actually looking at two examples of like actually looking at two examples of like actually looking at a thread. Yeah, hopefully hopefully a thread. Yeah, hopefully hopefully a thread. Yeah, hopefully hopefully pretty soon. I’m I The plan is to up pretty soon. I’m I The plan is to up pretty soon. I’m I The plan is to up update this, get it up on the site, go update this, get it up on the site, go update this, get it up on the site, go back, work on that that agent, get that back, work on that that agent, get that back, work on that that agent, get that up on the site, uh update the demo, and up on the site, uh update the demo, and up on the site, uh update the demo, and just do it chunk by chunk. just do it chunk by chunk. just do it chunk by chunk. Uh yeah, other than that, it’s been a Uh yeah, other than that, it’s been a Uh yeah, other than that, it’s been a it’s been uh tough. The day job has been it’s been uh tough.

Summary

Build and Public Log Update I recently updated my public log with progress on my AI agent API service, including a new email summarizer agent demo that simulates a fake inbox and shows how the agent processes emails. I also discussed future improvements like adding thread support. Alongside this project update, I shared my personal experience about managing a hectic day job and the need to balance screen time with healthy outdoor walks. During one such walk, I encountered a small white bunny rabbit that appeared to be an abandoned pet, which conflicted with my allergies. This experience highlighted the challenges of balancing work, personal health, and unexpected life moments.
