I live in NZ, so unless they are evening trainings (or early morning), I generally cannot attend live regardless of how interested I am in the topic. And yes, it’d be nice to just attend a masterclass or training without expecting a new pitch at the end. (Part why I’m tired of those who host free live events and then lock replays behind paywalls or memberships.)

@Wendy Breakstone 🤣 except our upside down is stunning - and lacks monsters.

Looks great for those who have gone full LLM or dev tool builds! Though I'm still sticking with my fully fleshed out them with Kadence, blocks, and more... mainly because I have a MASSIVE backend database with ACF and more on my site. BUT - I have used Claude to draft up some basic wireframe layouts for redesigns or to update pages such as moving existing blocks around. Just shows there are still ways for AI to help without giving up full control. (And Kadence's AI is horribly abysmal and don't anticipate it getting any better under new management... )

@Wendy Breakstone Advanced Custom Fields. Creating custom post types (CPTs), custom taxonomies, and much more.

After weeks of on/off attempts, I finally discovered, setup, tested and scheduled a Claude Cowork task that grabs ALL of my Claude Chat chats, summarises them into a markdown file that is then added to my GitHub along with updating the Project's project-brief file. The goal of the project was to be able to be able to "hop" between LLMs and keep the general gist of things/plans going by simply pointing it to the GitHub projects. (Along with keeping. a summarised archive). Set to run weekly, updating only chats without certain prefixes. Tried SO many different things... and blocked by the fact that neither Claude nor ChatGPT have a public Chat API which would require running a prompt or skill in EVERY chat. And of course even Claude would tell me one method would work - then it wouldn't. Finally realised that through the Desktop app, the chats ARE accessible! Now, its onto the latest method for ChatGPT - though I'm still stuck on the individual chat angle without having to paste or deal with the output of a prompt in every chat.

@Wendy Breakstone Oh... it's been fraught with a LOT of struggles (and plenty of swearing at them both!); I'm not quite sure I'd even call it "done" yet. The ChatGPT side is set up but created different hurdles to fix that I'm still tweaking. I have already given some thought into packaging it up into something once I let it run a few weeks to work out the kinks, but it's utterly irrelevant to my site's content so not sure how I'd get it out there. Be mindful that with long chats, it often truncates the memory - especially noticed this in ChatGPT. So unless you scroll the entire way back and copy from there, it might not grab it all. BUT that is also what helps create a more accurate summarisation of the chat. Lastly, I have mine set to not only include a description and summary of the chat, but to also note what worked, what did NOT, any key decisions made, and cite/list any references used. My goal isn't a purely archival, but those points help make the chat useful in another LLM without having to rexplain everything!

Even when frustrated, you're still a LOT nicer than I am when Claude or ChatGPT start mucking around with me! Although this is a case where Claude works better than ChatGPT, as Claude will usually apologise AND correct the issue without having to further point it out - whereas I've had to literally cite prior statements and even project guidelines it ignored before ChatGPT finally fixes the issue.

Yep! Plenty of great sessions to watch - and some good extra bonuses to grab from the speakers! Although I grabbed yours, but it hasn't come through yet.
