Flight Agent

The data problem is now kinda solved, so I’ve been designing what the experience should look like for the flight agents.

Chat isn’t good enough as the sole experience, so I’m going to build an interface for exploring what the agent is doing.

In the app, I provide a brief — parameters of the trip, the flight, how many people, etc. The agent will then search for flights, recommend options, and I can curate from there.

Captain

Right now Captain is quiet. I’ve run out of credits, so no trading or curiosity study. I’m leaving it this way for a bit.

PS: LLM credits are interesting because they provide a really direct way to quantify the cost of software in real time.

Hardware

I got the screen for the Raspberry Pi, but I need a cable to get it working. I also bought some spool for 3D printing, so I’m starting to design the case.

My idea is a single handheld device: a button on one end and a the e-ink screen in the middle as a “face”. Hold it like a pebble, push the button to do something, see results on the screen.

We’ll see how it goes.
