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 and public log It’s April 15th build and public log It’s April 15th build and public log It’s April 15th 2025 I’ve continued working on the 2025 I’ve continued working on the 2025 I’ve continued working on the documentation for agents code my AI documentation for agents code my AI documentation for agents code my AI agent API service It’s going okay I have agent API service It’s going okay I have agent API service It’s going okay I have gone back and forth a lot on this gone back and forth a lot on this gone back and forth a lot on this Um but I think I’ve settled on how I Um but I think I’ve settled on how I Um but I think I’ve settled on how I want this to to work initially good want this to to work initially good want this to to work initially good enough for for launching this like fully enough for for launching this like fully enough for for launching this like fully fully launching this I believe uh fully launching this I believe uh fully launching this I believe uh documentation needs to be like a documentation needs to be like a documentation needs to be like a constant work in progress Some people or constant work in progress Some people or constant work in progress Some people or companies uh I see this mistake a lot companies uh I see this mistake a lot companies uh I see this mistake a lot They put out some They put out some They put out some documentation and it starts to go stale documentation and it starts to go stale documentation and it starts to go stale and they don’t they don’t like there’s and they don’t they don’t like there’s and they don’t they don’t like there’s not a strong emphasis on keeping that up not a strong emphasis on keeping that up not a strong emphasis on keeping that up to date Um that’s not good I need an to date Um that’s not good I need an to date Um that’s not good I need an agent that keeps the documentation agent that keeps the documentation agent that keeps the documentation uh up and running That’d be great But uh uh up and running That’d be great But uh uh up and running That’d be great But uh so here’s what I settled so here’s what I settled so here’s what I settled on Um you could copy Um you could copy Um you could copy this I think this looks much better than this I think this looks much better than this I think this looks much better than what I showed the other day what I showed the other day what I showed the other day Um from right here you drop you go get a Um from right here you drop you go get a Um from right here you drop you go get a token I’m not going to show that I token I’m not going to show that I token I’m not going to show that I showed that in in the previous video You showed that in in the previous video You showed that in in the previous video You drop your token You start playing around drop your token You start playing around drop your token You start playing around You make API calls right from the You make API calls right from the You make API calls right from the documentation You can documentation You can documentation You can copy Oh yeah something broke there I copy Oh yeah something broke there I copy Oh yeah something broke there I need to fix that You copy like the code need to fix that You copy like the code need to fix that You copy like the code for Python JavaScript I can’t be for Python JavaScript I can’t be for Python JavaScript I can’t be bothered to um I can’t be bothered to bothered to um I can’t be bothered to bothered to um I can’t be bothered to add more I try to use a library that add more I try to use a library that add more I try to use a library that will It’s kind of crazy how it works It will It’s kind of crazy how it works It will It’s kind of crazy how it works It will build a request and then go make will build a request and then go make will build a request and then go make that code And I don’t know I just ran that code And I don’t know I just ran that code And I don’t know I just ran into a lot of trouble so I just copied into a lot of trouble so I just copied into a lot of trouble so I just copied and pasted it in there Can’t be bothered and pasted it in there Can’t be bothered and pasted it in there Can’t be bothered to add more If you want another language to add more If you want another language to add more If you want another language let me know and I’ll do that You can cut let me know and I’ll do that You can cut let me know and I’ll do that You can cut off the agent here Again you just need off the agent here Again you just need off the agent here Again you just need to put in your token Um get the code to put in your token Um get the code to put in your token Um get the code drop it right into some you know your drop it right into some you know your drop it right into some you know your your your your project Yeah I think it’s I think it’s project Yeah I think it’s I think it’s project Yeah I think it’s I think it’s good I’m going to ship this today and I good I’m going to ship this today and I good I’m going to ship this today and I think it’s good enough for now think it’s good enough for now think it’s good enough for now One thing that’s not done that I One thing that’s not done that I One thing that’s not done that I desperately want Hell I want it cuz I’m desperately want Hell I want it cuz I’m desperately want Hell I want it cuz I’m using these agents I don’t have an SDK using these agents I don’t have an SDK using these agents I don’t have an SDK yet So right now this is like yet So right now this is like yet So right now this is like essentially essentially essentially just the request It’s not really the um just the request It’s not really the um just the request It’s not really the um nice code where it like pulls and waits nice code where it like pulls and waits nice code where it like pulls and waits for the agent to run This is just for the agent to run This is just for the agent to run This is just basically the curl request in other basically the curl request in other basically the curl request in other languages So but for now I think this is languages So but for now I think this is languages So but for now I think this is good enough That’s all I’ve been working good enough That’s all I’ve been working good enough That’s all I’ve been working on Uh too much freelance work too much on Uh too much freelance work too much on Uh too much freelance work too much

me a bunch of blah blah blah He asked me a bunch of questions today about bu about like questions today about bu about like questions today about bu about like building a computer You know he has a building a computer You know he has a building a computer You know he has a laptop He’s had laptops but he wants to laptop He’s had laptops but he wants to laptop He’s had laptops but he wants to build his own server I was like “Yeah build his own server I was like “Yeah build his own server I was like “Yeah okay do it.” But it’s going to be really okay do it.” But it’s going to be really okay do it.” But it’s going to be really expensive What you’re wanting like expensive What you’re wanting like expensive What you’re wanting like really expensive thousands and thousands really expensive

Summary

Daily Update - AI Agent API Documentation and Tech Nostalgia Today, I provided an update on my ongoing work on the AI agent API documentation. I discussed the iterative process I went through to settle on the best approach, highlighting my concerns regarding stale documentation and the need for continuous updates. I also explained how I integrated example code for languages like Python and JavaScript, albeit with some shortcuts, and shared my excitement about shipping the updates. Later, I transitioned into a nostalgic personal story about my teenage nephew’s interest in building a computer and how it reminded me of my own early adventures at computer fairs. I reflected on the hands-on experience of building PCs in the past compared to today’s convenience of online shopping, expressing both admiration for modern tech and a longing for the excitement of the old school way of exploring technology. Overall, I provided a comprehensive glimpse into my busy schedule, merging technical progress with personal anecdotes, maintaining a balanced and neutral tone throughout the update.
