Working on the adilas mini API and what it can do. Added some security options to help keep it safe.

On a meeting with the guys from Nxtlinq. Going over progress and doing a little bit of show and tell to help each team see the progress. They are making improvements on the user interface and being able to keep the AI agent screen on top. They also showed us a possible version where the AI agent interfaces and works with a SPA (single page application) type interface. That looked a lot nicer but would require us to rewrite quite a bit of code.

Mobile first design. Working with Russell on some training. I don't need to know everything... I just need to know how to figure it out...

Russell wants me to keep doing the training, using AI, and then experimenting with what I'm learning. Exposure is really important and seeing things and how they work. We spent some time working on some practice files. Inside of our practice file, we have a touch image slider, navigation buttons to do next and previous images, and we can click on individual dot indicators to jump right to a specific image. Playing with JavaScript and CSS and mobile first design stuff. Started working on the other page content.

Working with Shannon - new content for the adilas marketplace plan. Most of the session was listing out professional services.

Recording notes from last week. It was a busy week, and I didn't them all fully recorded.

Emails and tech support. I then had to help a client with a custom ecommerce checkout process. They wanted it a little bit tighter, so we added some code and a redirect if other things were needed. Sent them an email with instructions to the client. We also got an email from the same company with some other updates. They found another small bug and we went in and fixed it. I'm so grateful for users who push on things and then let us know if things need some help. Good stuff.

On a meeting with the guys from Nxtlinq. They showed us some progress and had a few questions. They are just barely being able to start using some of the URL options and prompts. We still have a ways to go, but they are making progress. After the meeting, I sent an email to both Steve and Josh with a small overview of how it went.

Working on a mini version of the API for the adilas API sockets. This is a super quick, human readable, API call that has minimal fluff. Building and testing things as we are building. Here are some samples:

for the web/adilas_mini_api_calls.cfm page...

URL.useCorpKeyId or FORM.corp_key_id - pass in the corp key id value - Example: USE-0053 or Adi-22

URL.aiQuickSearch or FORM.ai_quick_search_field - search string or option/prompt value

URL.mode or FORM.mode - default is blank, if blank, it will show JSON. If it has a value like mode=show, it will show a CF dump (visual) of the object.

valid aiQuickSearch values...
customer types [filter]
customer lookup [filter]
item categories [filter]
item lookup [filter]

Sample URL for the AI quick search look-up page (in the public web folder)

Internal tech support. Had to look-up some settings on a main API connection for a client. They had not turned on a master switch "show on the web" to yes. It was still marked as no and was denying access to the API. After that, I had to do some backend changes for Sean and Cory and a deployment that they are working on. We had to flip some vendors on PO's and items globally in the system. This took some time and we had to look up vendors and sub vendors under the different PO's.

Working with Shannon. Talking about the translation layer and how the AI bot will interpret and then translate to the correct prompt. Started working on content for the adilas marketplace. Trying to show how the adilas application creates needs and wants that can be supported and serviced by other outside professional and businesses. We call it byproducts, but basically, as people use the system, they will have wants and needs. It becomes a full system once things get intermixing together.

Here is an analogy that we did for a ski resort and comparing it to adilas.

To illustrate how byproducts fit into the adilas business model, think of a ski resort. The main goal is to get people up and down the ski hill. However, people coming for skiing may also need things like rentals, lodging, a ski school, food services, ski patrol, retail shops, etc. You get the idea. The ski resort doesn't have to own or run all of those other entities. However, the main service offered by the ski resort creates a host of other opportunities and services that can readily be paired with the original product. Inside of adilas, we play the role of the ski resort and facilitate opportunities for other entities to provide the additional services.

Cory and Sean requested that we add the delivery stuff for the mini scan cart. Took some time and did some research, coding things, light testing, and pushing code up to data 0 for some testing. Let Cory and Sean know to go do some testing.

Emails. Got some good information from Wayne on video live streaming. See attached.

Working on gathering information for a letter of recommendation for Cody. He did a great job and worked for us for about 6 months. The only reason that we had to stop working together was because of budgets (tight). We would love to have him back if possible. Just for fun, here are almost 80 entries in the developer's notebook where I was working with Cody. Lots of good stuff. Click here for the link.

Working on some to do list items. Planning, brainstorming, paying bills, emails, and API stuff for cory (internal research and gathering data). Reviewing video streaming stuff from Wayne. He was doing some research on how to do that. He ended up converting a bigger MP4 video into an HLS version or format (a bunch of smaller clips that are played together in a play list type fashion). Anyways, I watched a few videos and looked around a bit. Interesting conversion process. We'll see where we go with that.
