Creating Human-Readable Summaries of Data with Google PaLM Generative AI / / No Comments Like a lot of folks, I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about generative AI, and AI, in general, and oddly (well for me), trying to focus on productive uses for it when working with APIs.

If you didn’t read that article, the tldr is that it’s incredibly easy to work with and I was able to get some Node.js code running in minutes. Exactly the kind of experience you want new developers to have with your product. Based on how easy it was to do that, I thought about building a real prototype of how the service could be used. What It Does # My simple prototype is based on the idea of handling an influx of emails. Imagine a support address or other important email address used for a company.
