Email Parsing

My AI Email Summarizer Tool (Unit tests) | Build in public E107

Daily Build and Vlog Update - In this video, I provide a detailed update on my week, sharing both the struggles and small victories in my freelance work and building process. I discuss the challenges of manually performing painful tasks despite having AI assist me, and how I experimented with an AI tool called Claude Taskmaster to generate detailed specifications for an AI summarizer tool. I explain the tool’s slow performance, its tendency to cheat by mocking data, and how I had to manually craft robust email parsing code. I also share my experiences with unit testing from my past work, reflecting on the evolution of test runners and the frustrations of legacy systems. The video highlights my determination to improve this build, and though the process has been grueling and frustrating at times, I remain committed to refining my product and learning from each setback.
