Get invited to the OpenAI o1 beta but decide to nix it for now because it’s wildly expensive and slow with low rate limits, and the cheaper mini model is only tuned for STEM use cases #watchdog !private

Make message URL sharing work across all Telegram group types. Telegram's developers are on hard drugs and return chat IDs that are invalid for link sharing, you need to manually format them yourself and remove the "-100" prefix 🤦‍♂️ #watchdog !private

Implemented alert forwarding to a channel instead of DMing each admin individually because a customer asked for it #watchdog !private

Updated the headline for Watchdog to make more sense given most chat moderators are volunteers and weren't hired in the first place: x.com/ben_makes_stuff/status/… #watchdog !private

Added an "alt" bot with a less obvious name because a new customer is worried about his users reacting poorly to a bot with "AI" in its name #watchdog !private

Get rate limited by reddit and disable recently added subreddits to "stop the bleeding" #watchdog !private

Try using the new json schema response format in OpenAI's API spec to avoid errors #watchdog !private

Get a reply from the NHL 🥲 (note I didn’t include MARKETING in the headline, think they have their own spam filter doing that) #watchdog !private

Enable automation to send 98 emails to potential customers because I promised @alexstyl I'd send 50+ emails by tomorrow EOD or pay $50, and I don't want to pay him $50 😎 #watchdog !private

Send out first 5 cold messages to potential #watchdog customers and get feedback from @alexstyl on message wording !private

Book all travel, hotels, and other associated bullshit for the next year so I can spend the next few months heads down on #watchdog and other projects !private

Added an automated alert for when Watchdog doesn't process any X posts over the course of a few hours (usually means there's a bug on my end) because I noticed there was some issue with Chrome that caused the browser to fail to receive commands for a few hours and I had no idea #watchdog !private

Reworked the hero section to be a bit more eye-catching (fire emoji) and added the X integration to the landing page because I forgot to do that after I shipped it: watchdog.chat/ai-chat-moderat… #watchdog !private
