I am killing AiChat.email (Obi-Wan) | Build in public E114

Daily Update & Star Wars Fan Edit Review Today I provided a detailed update on my work and shared my thoughts on a couple of projects. I explained that I am discontinuing my email summarizer tool integrated with the AI agent API service, as there was little interest in engaging with an LLM through email. I then shifted to discussing a fan edit of a Star Wars miniseries that reinvigorated the storyline I loved as a kid. I critiqued Disney’s handling of the franchise and pointed out the major flaws in episodes one and three, while expressing genuine enthusiasm for this fan-made film, which managed to capture the spirit of the original Star Wars. I also compared this fan edit favorably to other sequels and prequels, and reminisced about my childhood passion for the original films. Overall, I conveyed both a pragmatic decision in my project choices and heartfelt nostalgia for a refreshed Star Wars narrative.
