Hi all, Coming up with some ideas on the way forward with this group that we'd all like to see. Let me know your poll preference, then we can move forward from there. If it ends up being the live meeting option, I'll set something up on a recurrent basis monthly, although the days may change based on my airline schedule.

So in case you run into it, the trial period for PopAI bills the day prior to the end of your trial period. Also there is not a cancel subscription selection in the account tab or the user settings. You have to the pricing tab, view order details, then you find the cancel subscription button. Also their customer service failed to mention how to cancel, just to cancel. A bit frustrating but in case you run into this, finding the cancel button on some of these trials can be a trial of it's own.

https://pricepertoken.com "Up-to-date pricing information for major LLM APIs including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral and more. Compare token costs across different AI models and find the best value for your use case." I'm working on a minimum viable product for my task classification app but it requires an API. I used Claude to evaluate my project's needs with what would be the most cost-effective API for the initial testing. (I have no affiliation. Just thought it was interesting and may be useful.)

This is what happens when I accidentally pay an entire year's subscription while researching for the AI Tools course.

Today I want to give props to NotebookLM, which played a big role in my study strategy in acquiring the AWS Cloud Practitioner Certification this morning! This tool is incredible! I was able to take detailed notes from Stephane Maarek’s Udemy course and combine them with other notes I found online. NotebookLM let me turn all of that into organized study material, flashcards, and even podcasts, which made learning much more effective. I know I’m only scratching the surface of what it can do, but I can already say it’s been a game-changer for my prep. That's my big win for today! 🎉
