“Look,” says God, “I never spared the rod, and you turned out okay… Right?”

Did we, though? Did we?

In our favorite seats by the fire, it’s time to learn about how our MyLife GPT can express certain thoughts to Maht. Nothing too serious, just some checks and balances around the upserting of registrations.

So it looks like the kindly folks at openAI, a few clicks down and out if I recall, not sure how I got there exactly, put together a public GPT for assisting with actions.

MyLife GPT is now in communication with my local dev

Well, actions do seem to work like the charm they claim, I even comprehend the .yaml hurled myward.

I’ve gotten reasonably good with instructions, and I have a few tricks up my own sleeve in addition to what openAI has provided, so I expect that the connection to the actions will go reasonably seamlessly.

For now, it’s time to test what I have with real data and see it coming through into Cosmos. Which makes me pretty certain I want to local containerize that whole piece, but that could of course cause ecosystem kinks in long run (the whole thing would sink if syncing containers), but I shouldn’t concern myself with that now, there’s an intentional yellow brick road paved just for that particular downward spiral.

We have a match!
This one need not apply.

Indeed, the hookup seems functional. Tomorrow I will create the new fields for the database and get it fully structured!
