Using Google PaLM to Gather Sentiment Analysis on a Forum

I’ve really been enjoying working with Google’s PaLM 2 AI API and this week I used it to build a pretty interesting demo I think. What if we could use the generative AI features of PaLM to determine the ‘sentiment’ or general health of a forum? I was able to do so and I think the results are pretty interesting. I’ll remind my readers I’m still fairly new to this, so please reach out if you’ve got suggestions on how to do this better, or found any big mistakes in my implementation. Ok, let’s get started!

Texting Email Summaries using Google PaLM AI and Twilio

Yesterday I shared my initial impressions of working with Google’s PaLM 2 AI API.

Building a Web View of a Public Google Drive Folder

I’m working on a project to help with local initiatives and as part of that effort, I needed to look into creating a nice way to display, make available, etc., files stored in Google Drive. Google Drive lets you make a folder public, and to be honest, the interface isn’t too hard to use.

Using Google Maps with Alpine.js

It’s been a little while since I’ve blogged about Alpine.js, and I thought an example of integratingGoogle Maps with it would be a good way to continue my path to becoming comfortable with the framework. I imagined it would be fairly simple, but in building a few demos I ran into some interesting issues that helped me learn a bit more about Alpine. Let’s take a look. Raymond Camden… more →
