One of my New Year's resolutions was to journal more. I think it helps focus your mind on whatever you're working on in your personal and professional life, and it's a nice way to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning rather than doomscrolling.
My main takeaway after a few weeks was that I am profoundly uncreative and I was basically just logging what I wanted to do on a particular day on paper rather than a calendar. So it was like a less-helpful, analog version of Notion.
Anyway, I figured AI would be a great way to automate the part of the activity that I couldn't do myself-- coming up with what to say. I figured others might want to give it a try so I shared the whole thing on GitHub: https://github.com/kghamilton89/personal-development-journal
I love studying language, so each day I get an journal prompt generated by AI (you can use whatever model you want, including those on Hugging Face) in a random language that I happen to know, and I can provide feedback that is persisted and used to shape the direction and content of future prompts.
Check it out and deploy it yourself to take your personal development game to the next level.
๐ Like everyone else, I've been blown away by the possibilities unlocked by OpenClaw (I've got an agent running locally and in a Railway pod that's always alive so I can automate as I ride the metro).
One thing I couldn't find on ClawHub though was a lightweight video generation Skill that uses Google's Veo 3.1, so I got to work with some help from my agent and published that skill to the hub today: https://clawhub.ai/kghamilton89/veo-video-generator
๐ Now your agent can generate SOTA audio/video as you fervently message it from Telegram Messenger demanding minor adjustments. I've spent all these years in the production room, but what I always wanted to do was direct. Feels good man.
๐ One of the coolest parts about being an early Strawberry user has been the opportunity to build on the app at the ground floor.
The platform already has a ton of great integrations that let you interact with your external apps directly with tools, but I wanted to add the ability to do stuff in Slack as well.
๐ช So I took the base Anthropic Slack MCP server, added a whole bunch of new tools, and generalized it as an HTTP-based SSE-server and deployed it in like 2 minutes with Railway so that Strawberry could make use of it (as can Claude or any other MCP client).
Now, you can Chat with your Strawberry Companion (or Claude, or whatever) and do things like: โก๏ธ Get caught up across all of your Slack channels after a long weekend or noisy incident without having to read 20 threads in 10 different channels โก๏ธ Create, read, and edit Canvases, Messages, and Channels โก๏ธ Take any resources or content that you're using in your Chat and inject it directly into Slack without copy / paste
๐ I'm pretty pleased with the results, and I made a short demo video showing the results of the work (link in comments). The best part is, it's available on GitHub for anyone else to use too (link in the comments, instructions in the README). The setup takes about 5-10 minutes.
What a trip. Just walked through @burtenshaw and @evalstate tutorial on adding Hugging Face Skills to your Claude Code agent so you can fine tune LLMs by chatting with AI.
These are the kinds of innovations that are going to help everyone benefit from the power of Artificial Intelligence. Well done gentlemen and thank you for sharing.
