DigiMo: talk to my online avatar

After having built so many AI applications I finally set down to showcase my skills and toolbox in the shape of an online AI assistant: maurice.instrukt.ai. I started out by giving it a calendar tool (in my n8n backend), so that one can book a meeting with myself to talk about all things AI. I then built a knowledge base with info about my journey as a developer, and also gave it access to my WordPress blogs, so that it can share the topics I am interested in and write about. Go ahead and ask what I wrote about AI! (It should mention this exact blog post 😉

You might notice how the models that are used in the workflows sometimes make decisions that are not optimal, but that is the state of current affairs. I just moved away from using Claude’s api as it was going haywire and not doing as I instructed, so I reverted to OpenAI’s gpt-4o-mini. We are only weeks away from being able to use o3-mini, which has already surpassed most humans in intelligence. Imagine being helped by such intelligent assistants!

Bonus for me is that I had to look at my online stuff and clean it all up. I got rid of a lot of useless tags and archived a lot of my posts 🙂

Use Indy News Assistant to get to the TRUTH

Use Indy News Assistant to get to the TRUTH

After noticing the recent increase in (self)censorship by mainstream media I created the “Indy News Assistant” (a custom ChatGPT agent). It takes any topic and provides both news sources as well as latest YouTube videos published on the matter.

Here’s the link: indy-news-assistant

To make it easy for those without a ChatGPT subscription here is a public Streamlit app using the same api: indy-news.streamlit.app

It uses vectors and bm25 to make search work, and I think it is an interesting and cheap approach. Unfortunately vector searches, like LLMs, suffer from producing irrelevant output, and so this comes with a YMMV warning 😉
