all right this is my daily update for my all right this is my daily update for my all right this is my daily update for my build a public log it’s April 1st build a public log it’s April 1st build a public log it’s April 1st 2025 no April Fool’s nonsense for me 2025 no April Fool’s nonsense for me 2025 no April Fool’s nonsense for me today i’m sorry but um uh I’ve seen today i’m sorry but um uh I’ve seen today i’m sorry but um uh I’ve seen several really lame things on social several really lame things on social several really lame things on social media about April Fools and none of them media about April Fools and none of them media about April Fools and none of them were very funny to be completely honest were very funny to be completely honest were very funny to be completely honest back in the day you used to see really back in the day you used to see really back in the day you used to see really funny stuff people would go all out for funny stuff people would go all out for funny stuff people would go all out for April Fool’s make fake products even April Fool’s make fake products even April Fool’s make fake products even like damn damn near make a fake product like damn damn near make a fake product like damn damn near make a fake product like a lot of cool funny stuff back in like a lot of cool funny stuff back in like a lot of cool funny stuff back in the day you know but now it’s not so the day you know but now it’s not so the day you know but now it’s not so funny uh I’ve I’ve recorded this twice funny uh I’ve I’ve recorded this twice funny uh I’ve I’ve recorded this twice now and my software I’m using has failed now and my software I’m using has failed now and my software I’m using has failed me both times so I’m kind of frustrated me both times so I’m kind of frustrated me both times so I’m kind of frustrated so hopefully the third time is the charm so hopefully the third time is the charm so hopefully the third time is the charm here so here we go um uh the last B here so here we go um uh the last B here so here we go um uh the last B basically today all I’ve done is a basically today all I’ve done is a basically today all I’ve done is a little polish on the on the site on the little polish on the on the site on the little polish on the on the site on the landing page here um and I’ve been landing page here um and I’ve been landing page here um and I’ve been trying to get the word out for agents trying to get the word out for agents trying to get the word out for agents code my AI agent API service so I’m code my AI agent API service so I’m code my AI agent API service so I’m sharing this i’m getting it out there sharing this i’m getting it out there sharing this i’m getting it out there i’m trying to get attention get views i’m trying to get attention get views i’m trying to get attention get views and get feedback really so uh I’m going and get feedback really so uh I’m going and get feedback really so uh I’m going to do a bit a bit more of that tonight to do a bit a bit more of that tonight to do a bit a bit more of that tonight and that’s probably all I’m going to get and that’s probably all I’m going to get and that’s probably all I’m going to get done so just trying to get the word out done so just trying to get the word out done so just trying to get the word out there so one thing I do want to there so one thing I do want to there so one thing I do want to say if there is an agent that you want say if there is an agent that you want say if there is an agent that you want built please please come here come to built please please come here come to built please please come here come to agentscode.dev there’s a link in the agentscode.dev there’s a link in the agentscode.dev there’s a link in the description and click what agent do you description and click what agent do you description and click what agent do you need um I added a bunch here for email need um I added a bunch here for email need um I added a bunch here for email stuff somebody actually upvoted that stuff somebody actually upvoted that stuff somebody actually upvoted that that’s really cool what do you want that’s really cool what do you want that’s really cool what do you want built you tell me what would you really built you tell me what would you really built you tell me what would you really really like and need to put into your really like and need to put into your really like and need to put into your product and run at product and run at product and run at scale why is there a bunch of email scale why is there a bunch of email scale why is there a bunch of email stuff because stuff because stuff because uh last year I spent eight months of my uh last year I spent eight months of my uh last year I spent eight months of my life building a complete product for life building a complete product for life building a complete product for Gmail using AI Gmail using AI Gmail using AI uh for Google to block me google refused uh for Google to block me google refused uh for Google to block me google refused to approve and let me continue on with to approve and let me continue on with to approve and let me continue on with the uh the process for for getting the uh the process for for getting the uh the process for for getting approved they they refused to approve approved they they refused to approve approved they they refused to approve approve my app um really unfortunate i approve my app um really unfortunate i approve my app um really unfortunate i wasted a lot of time i did not foresee wasted a lot of time i did not foresee wasted a lot of time i did not foresee that Google would just like do that and that Google would just like do that and that Google would just like do that and I wasted like eight months of my time it I wasted like eight months of my time it I wasted like eight months of my time it led to like a lot of financial hardship led to like a lot of financial hardship led to like a lot of financial hardship and a lot of stress and a lot of agony and a lot of stress and a lot of agony and a lot of stress and a lot of agony but I got to learn a lot so all these I but I got to learn a lot so all these I but I got to learn a lot so all these I kind of already have code for so I think kind of already have code for so I think kind of already have code for so I think I I know ve very very familiar with how I I know ve very very familiar with how I I know ve very very familiar with how to do all of this i have a lot of code to do all of this i have a lot of code to do all of this i have a lot of code built so I’d be able to hammer out a lot built so I’d be able to hammer out a lot built so I’d be able to hammer out a lot of email agents pretty quickly that’s of email agents pretty quickly that’s of email agents pretty quickly that’s why they’re up there somebody seems why they’re up there somebody seems why they’re up there somebody seems interested in this i there is a service interested in this i there is a service interested in this i there is a service that does this that charges a lot of that does this that charges a lot of that does this that charges a lot of money so that’s kind of why it was on money so that’s kind of why it was on money so that’s kind of why it was on the top of my radar and apparently the top of my radar and apparently the top of my radar and apparently somebody else’s so you go there you tell somebody else’s so you go there you tell somebody else’s so you go there you tell me what you want and if a bunch of me what you want and if a bunch of me what you want and if a bunch of people have voted that thing’s getting people have voted that thing’s getting people have voted that thing’s getting built uh let me know um one thing I built uh let me know um one thing I built uh let me know um one thing I wanted to quickly talk about wanted to quickly talk about wanted to quickly talk about was speaking of like trying to figure was speaking of like trying to figure was speaking of like trying to figure out what agents to build the one site I out what agents to build the one site I out what agents to build the one site I have seen that is the closest thing to have seen that is the closest thing to have seen that is the closest thing to what I what I’m trying to accomplish is what I what I’m trying to accomplish is what I what I’m trying to accomplish is Agent AI really really crazy domain name Agent AI really really crazy domain name Agent AI really really crazy domain name that probably cost the millions of that probably cost the millions of that probably cost the millions of dollars um this is the closest thing dollars um this is the closest thing dollars um this is the closest thing I’ve seen to what I want to build the I’ve seen to what I want to build the I’ve seen to what I want to build the the only the difference is this is like the only the difference is this is like the only the difference is this is like you run it here you run it here you run it here um and this is like when I’m building um and this is like when I’m building um and this is like when I’m building something that runs in the cloud like something that runs in the cloud like something that runs in the cloud like this but you drop this into your product this but you drop this into your product this but you drop this into your product and you consume the data so you you know and you consume the data so you you know and you consume the data so you you know you send a data you get data out and you send a data you get data out and you send a data you get data out and then you do something in your app that’s then you do something in your app that’s then you do something in your app that’s the only difference this is kind of like the only difference this is kind of like the only difference this is kind of like running the browser so I came here I’ve running the browser so I came here I’ve running the browser so I came here I’ve been here several times the last few been here several times the last few been here several times the last few months and I’ve looked like what is the months and I’ve looked like what is the months and I’ve looked like what is the most popular agent i’ll just build that most popular agent i’ll just build that most popular agent i’ll just build that you know it makes sense but uh like look you know it makes sense but uh like look you know it makes sense but uh like look at this you the YouTube video script at this you the YouTube video script at this you the YouTube video script generator yeah I I have a YouTube agent generator yeah I I have a YouTube agent generator yeah I I have a YouTube agent and this one has been ran 72,000 times and this one has been ran 72,000 times and this one has been ran 72,000 times now I don’t know how accurate these now I don’t know how accurate these now I don’t know how accurate these numbers are i’m assuming they’re pretty numbers are i’m assuming they’re pretty numbers are i’m assuming they’re pretty accurate because of what I’m about to accurate because of what I’m about to accurate because of what I’m about to say one thing I want to point out is say one thing I want to point out is say one thing I want to point out is look at the look at the look at the reviews 4.2 reviews 4.2 reviews 4.2 4.2 you know uh 4.3 4.2 4.2 you know uh 4.3 4.2 4.2 you know uh 4.3 4.2 too you know these are pretty too you know these are pretty too you know these are pretty abysmal ratings if if this if these abysmal ratings if if this if these abysmal ratings if if this if these agents which they kind of advertise as agents which they kind of advertise as agents which they kind of advertise as being someone you hire if these agents being someone you hire if these agents being someone you hire if these agents were on Upwork they’d be kicked off if were on Upwork they’d be kicked off if were on

when you this is the whole ethos behind when I’m building agents I’m building agents I’m building agents code the agents need a lot of work they need a agents need a lot of work they need a agents need a lot of work they need a lot of manual code for handling the lot of manual code for handling the lot of manual code for handling the inputs outputs handling the failures inputs outputs handling the failures inputs outputs handling the failures recovering from failures they need a lot recovering from failures they need a lot recovering from failures they need a lot of monitoring they need a

lot of work and a lot of um it’s a lot of work and a lot of um it’s a lot of work and a lot of agents are way oversold way overhyped agents are way oversold way overhyped agents are way oversold way overhyped and don’t perform they really don’t i and don’t perform they really don’t i and don’t perform they really don’t i have spent the last two years of my life have spent the last two years of my life have spent the last two years of my life i haven’t had a job i’ve been doing all i haven’t had a job i’ve been doing all i haven’t had a job i’ve been doing all this stuff this stuff this stuff full-time i’ve pushed all these models full-time i’ve pushed all these models full-time i’ve pushed all these models and I’ve really really done a lot of and I’ve really really done a lot of and I’ve really really done a lot of work to push everything to the end like work to push everything to the end like work to push everything to the end like the what what like the very absolute the what what like the very absolute the what what like the very absolute what they’re capable of so I have a what they’re capable of so I have a what they’re capable of so I have a fairly good understanding of what these fairly good understanding of what these fairly good understanding of what these are capable of and I think way too many are capable of and I think way too many are capable of and I think way too many people are not writing enough manual people are not writing enough manual people are not writing enough manual code really they they are they it’s just code really they they are they it’s just code really they they are they it’s just not going to work without real code and not going to work without real code and not going to work without real code and and a fair amount of real code and a fair amount of real code and a fair amount of real code which the LLM part is just a little which the LLM part is just a little which the LLM part is just a little piece of that what I’m trying to piece of that what I’m trying to piece of that what I’m trying to accomplish here is a really really accomplish here is a really really accomplish here is a really really robust agents and I want a rating too i robust agents and I want a rating too i robust agents and I want a rating too i want benchmarks i want ratings and let want benchmarks i want ratings and let want benchmarks i want ratings and let me tell you like 4.3 is not going to be me tell you like 4.3 is not going to be me tell you like 4.3 is not going to be acceptable on here it’s really really acceptable on here it’s really really acceptable on here it’s really really not so I’ve I’ve talked about this in not so I’ve I’ve talked about this in not so I’ve I’ve talked about this in previous videos how I want my agents to previous videos how I want my agents to previous videos how I want my agents to um learn like you know report errors um learn like you know report errors um learn like you know report errors like report suggestions hey we’re seeing like report suggestions hey we’re seeing like report suggestions hey we’re seeing you know I’m saying this a lot like I I you know I’m saying this a lot like I I you know I’m saying this a lot like I I suggest you change the code this way suggest you change the code this way suggest you change the code this way then they’re kind of like self-healing then they’re kind of like self-healing then they’re kind of like self-healing self um getting you know they they self um getting you know they they self um getting you know they they improve themsel improving but with a improve themsel improving but with a improve themsel improving but with a human in the loop with me looking at it human in the loop with me looking at it human in the loop with me looking at it and going “Oh yeah okay you’re right oh and going “Oh yeah okay you’re right oh and going “Oh yeah okay you’re right oh let’s do this oh yeah this will make let’s do this oh yeah this will make let’s do this oh yeah this will make this more more robust or the quality this more more robust or the quality this more more robust or the quality better i want as close to better i want as close to better i want as close to 5.0 i think that’s proof of what I’ve 5.0 i think that’s proof of what I’ve 5.0 i think that’s proof of what I’ve been saying for a while that agents are been saying for a while that agents are been saying for a while that agents are overhyped and a lot of them just don’t overhyped and a lot of them just don’t overhyped and a lot of them just don’t perform like they’re advertised perform like they’re advertised perform like they’re advertised i don’t want that i want real ones that i don’t want that i want real ones that i don’t want that i want real ones that actually advertise because somebody like actually advertise because somebody like actually advertise because somebody like a human really sat there and made sure a human really sat there and made sure a human really sat there and made sure that thing actually works remotely that thing actually works remotely that thing actually works remotely okay more work to more work to go i have okay more work to more work to go i have okay more work to more work to go i have so much more work to do on this all i so much more work to do on this all i so much more work to do on this all i got to build the SDK i got to add docs got to build the SDK i got to add docs got to build the SDK i got to add docs um but I really really need feedback let um but I really really need feedback let um but I really really need feedback let me know what you think if you’ve checked me know what you think if you’ve checked me know what you think if you’ve checked this out let me know if you’re this out let me know if you’re this out let me know if you’re interested in in an agent or you you interested in in an agent or you you interested in in an agent or you you have experience what do you think have have experience what do you think have have experience what do you think have you used some of these agents out there you used some of these agents out there you used some of these agents out there what do you think all right moving what do you think all right moving what do you think all right moving on questions and on questions and on questions and comments congratulations man looks great comments congratulations man looks great comments congratulations man looks great i’ve missed some of the progress since i’ve missed some of the progress since i’ve missed some of the progress since I’ve been really busy with the new gig I’ve been really busy with the new gig I’ve been really busy with the new gig but the story unfolding here is awesome but the story unfolding here is awesome but the story unfolding here is awesome keep keep it up and if I have any agent keep keep it up and if I have any agent keep keep it up and if I have any agent ideas I’ll send them your way thank you ideas I’ll send them your way thank you ideas I’ll send them your way thank you so much i super super appreciate it it’s so much i super super appreciate it it’s so much i super super appreciate it it’s been a lot of hard work and I’m not been a lot of hard work and I’m not been a lot of hard work and I’m not stopping until this is working i have stopping until this is working i have stopping until this is working i have customers who are satisfied and that 4.3 customers who are satisfied and that 4.3 customers who are satisfied and that 4.3 is not going to fly with me moving is not going to fly with me moving is not going to fly with me moving on to my random story for today i can’t on to my random story for today i can’t on to my random story for today i can’t go into too much detail go into too much detail go into too much detail but I I I recently saw a developer who but I I I recently saw a developer who but I I I recently saw a developer who got assigned a really really hard got assigned a really really hard got assigned a really really hard task and they weren’t able to get it task and they weren’t able to get it task and they weren’t able to get it done and they had to hire someone like done and they had to hire someone like done and they had to hire someone like another temporary person to do this work another temporary person to do this work another temporary person to do this work and it reminds me of a time at a really and it reminds me of a time at a really and it reminds me of a time at a really old job like I don’t know eight years old job like I don’t know eight years old job like I don’t know eight years ago where I had ago where I had ago where I had to make a Gant to make a Gant to make a Gant chart something kind of like this so the chart something kind of like this so the chart something kind of like this so the whole product was for an airline a US whole product was for an airline a US whole product was for an airline a US airline to manage their whole entire airline to manage their whole entire airline to manage their whole entire operation they see all their flights operation they see all their flights operation they see all their flights they see all the all the crew they see they see all the all the crew they see they see all the all the crew they see all of the they it’s called a flight leg all of the they it’s called a flight leg all of the they it’s called a flight leg like hey a plane going from X you know A like hey a plane going from X you know A like hey a plane going from X you know A to B the actual aircraft the to B the actual aircraft the to B the actual aircraft the crew and they could manage this all and crew and they could manage this all and crew and they could manage this all and there was like this chart that just like there was like this chart that just like there was like this chart that just like slowly ticked you know across the screen slowly ticked you know across the screen slowly ticked you know across the screen and you can see like kind of like like a and you can see like kind of like like a and you can see like kind of like like a TV guide if you’re if you look you can TV guide if you’re if you look you can TV guide if you’re if you look you can see what played what what’s playing now see what played what what’s playing now see what played what what’s playing now what’s done what’s up next what played what’s done what’s up next what played what’s done what’s up next what played before kind of like that but like for before kind of like that but like for before kind of like that but like for managing airline flights it’s pretty managing airline flights it’s pretty managing airline flights it’s pretty hard it’s pretty serious job like you hard it’s pretty serious job like you hard it’s pretty serious job like you can’t that up because like you know can’t that up because like you know can’t that up because like you know that’s pretty serious that’s an airline that’s pretty serious that’s an airline that’s pretty serious that’s an airline managing their their their whole managing their their their whole managing their their their whole operation i remember like we lived in operation i remember like we lived in operation i remember like we lived in that chart that was like most of what we that chart that was like most of what we that chart that was like most of what we coded in and I had to do a lot of work coded in and I had to do a lot of work coded in and I had to do a lot of work to like optimize it so the performance to like optimize it so the performance to like optimize it so the performance was good okay figure that out i had to was good okay figure that out i had to was good okay figure that out i had to do this then okay no worries but then do this then okay no worries but then do this then okay no worries but then they gave me a task they’re like we need they gave me a task they’re like we need they gave me a task they’re like we need to pretty kind of like what this is to pretty kind of like what this is to pretty kind of like what this is showing so you have the airplane you showing so you have the airplane you showing so you have the airplane you have the crew you have the captain the have the crew you have the captain the have the crew you have the captain the co-pilot the um the the flight co-pilot the um the the flight co-pilot the um the the flight attendants attendants attendants um you know once the plane landed you um you know once the plane landed you um you know once the plane landed you know at destination B those those people know at destination B those those people know at destination B those those people had to go elsewhere and not not not had to go elsewhere and not not not had to go elsewhere and not not not together you know like the captain and together you know like the captain and together you know like the captain and and the you know co-pilot may go to one and the you know co-pilot may go to one and the you know co-pilot may go to one plane this this crew member may go to plane this this crew member may go to plane this this crew member may go to another one so they wanted me to draw another one so they wanted me to draw another one so they wanted me to draw lines where you can like hover over and lines where you can like hover over and lines where you can like hover over and see who that crew member is kind of like see who that crew member is kind of like see who that crew member is kind of like this but where it went uh like all this but where it went uh like all this but where it went uh like all across the screen and they wanted all across the screen and they wanted all across the screen and they wanted all these lines and and the data was always these lines and and the data was always these lines and and the data was always updating and they wanted it like always updating and they wanted it like always updating and they wanted it like always up you know updating like like live real up you know updating like like live real up you know updating like like live real time time time basically and I was like I’ve never done basically and I was like I’ve never done basically and I was like I’ve never done any data visualization i’ve never I I any data visualization i’ve never I I any data visualization i’ve never I I don’t even really know if Canvas truly don’t even really know if Canvas truly don’t even really know if Canvas truly works i’ve never used like WebGL or any works i’ve never used like WebGL or any works i’ve never used like WebGL or any crazy visualization i don’t know how to crazy visualization i don’t know how to crazy visualization i don’t know how to do this i’ve never done anything like do this i’ve never done anything like do this i’ve never done anything like this i’ve never done anything like this this i’ve never done anything like this this i’ve never done anything like this they’re like “Well you got to figure it they’re like “Well you got to figure it they’re like “Well you got to figure it out get get it done.” So days went by oh out get get it done.” So days went by oh out get get it done.” So days went by oh I was struggling like hell days go by I was struggling like hell days go by I was struggling like hell days go by and I’m going and going and going and I’m going and going and going and I’m going and going and going finally like a week goes by and they’re finally like a week goes by and they’re finally like a week goes by and they’re like “What is the deal where’s this like “What is the deal where’s this like “What is the deal where’s this thing at?” And I was I actually got thing at?” And I was I actually got thing at?” And I was I actually got something on the screen and I got something on the screen and I got something on the screen and I got something kind of working and I was like something kind of working and I was like something kind of working and I was like “Look I’m a little stuck uh I do have “Look I’m a little stuck uh I do have “Look I’m a little stuck uh I do have something working i think if I I think something working i think if I I think something working i think if I I think I’m down the right path i think if I do I’m down the right path i think if I do I’m down the right path i think if I do XYZ I can make this work but I need a XYZ I can make this work but I need a XYZ I can make this work but I need a little bit more time.” And I’ll never little bit more time.” And I’ll never little bit more time.” And I’ll never forget my manager was like “No that’s forget my manager was like “No that’s forget my manager was like “No that’s wrong you got to do it like this.” But wrong you got to do it like this.” But wrong you got to do it like this.” But what he said was i tried what what he said was i tried what what he said was i tried what he did say i I did try but I knew I was he did say i I did try but I knew I was he did say i I did try but I knew I was like “That’s not going to work because like “That’s not going to work because like “That’s not going to work because XYZ got to do it this way.” I know I’m XYZ got to do it this way.” I know I’m XYZ got to do it this way.” I know I’m down I knew I was down the right path down I knew I was down the right path down I knew I was down the right path and I knew I was close but I just needed and I knew I was close but I just needed and I knew I was close but I just needed some damn help like just pair with me some damn help like just pair with me some damn help like just pair with me you know for a couple of hours i think you know for a couple of hours i think you know for a couple of hours i think we’ll get this done and I’ll never we’ll get this done and I’ll never we’ll get this done and I’ll never forget my manager got really really forget my manager got really really forget my manager got really really upset with me upset with me upset with me like really like wanted to fire me kind like really like wanted to fire me kind like really like wanted to fire me kind of upset because they couldn’t figure of upset because they couldn’t figure of upset because they couldn’t figure out a really hard task I’ve never done out a really hard task I’ve never done out a really hard task I’ve never done before and I was stunned about how mad before and I was stunned about how mad before and I was stunned about how mad and upset they were because I I was like and upset they were because I I was like and upset they were because I I was like I’ve never done anything like this I’ve never done anything like this I’ve never done anything like this before i you know I spent like a week i before i you know I spent like a week i before i you know I spent like a week i don’t know what to tell you i was like I don’t know what to tell you i was like I don’t know what to tell you i was like I think I’m really close i think I’ll get think I’m really close i think I’ll get think I’m really close i think I’ll get something working but it’s like this is something working but it’s like this is something working but it’s like this is really hard i’ve never done anything really hard i’ve never done anything really hard i’ve never done anything like this before i I I just I just don’t like this before i I I just I just don’t like this before i I I just I just don’t have experience doing this and it was have experience doing this and it was have experience doing this and it was very eye opening and I realized wow if very eye opening and I realized wow if very eye opening and I realized wow if you can’t do a task you’re in big you can’t do a task you’re in big you can’t do a task you’re in big trouble like like you’re you’re trouble like like you’re you’re trouble like like you’re you’re like they may want to fire you because like they may want to fire you because like they may want to fire you because you just can’t do some crazy weird task you just can’t do some crazy weird task you just can’t do some crazy weird task they get they they randomly gave you at they get they they randomly gave you at they get

Description

I did a soft launch of my AI Agent API service:

So far, no one has tried it or signed up. I’m trying to get the word out far and wide to figure out what to build next. Want an Agent build? Let me know!

Don’t want to follow along on YT?

See ya all tomorrow!

Summary

Daily Update: Build a Public Log Today I provided my daily update on the progress of building my public log, sharing both my technical challenges and the lessons learned along the way. I explained my frustrations with flawed software and the lackluster April Fool’s updates, as well as my efforts in refining the landing page and promoting my AI agent API service. I detailed my past struggles with developing agents for email tasks and recalled an intense experience with a demanding airline scheduling project. I also offered advice on seeking help when faced with overwhelming tasks. Throughout the update, I emphasized my commitment to quality, the need for robust manual coding, and the importance of active user feedback to improve agent performance.
