Connecting a script to an AI API to turn raw notes into actions.
This project connects the two halves of the course. Module 2 made you good at talking to AI through a chat window. Module 3 made you able to write scripts. Put them together and something new appears: a script that talks to an AI — no chat window, no copying and pasting, the same careful prompt applied to every file in a folder automatically.
Our target: raw, rambling meeting notes in, a tidy summary with action items out.
The door for programs
Remember the restaurant from Module 1? An API is the menu — the fixed set of requests one program will accept from another. It turns out the big AI assistants (the ChatGPT family, Claude, Gemini) all have exactly such a menu. The chat window is the door for humans; the API is the door for programs. Same models behind both doors.
Why bother, when the chat window works fine? Because a chat window is for one-off questions, and a script is for every time. Summarising one meeting by hand-pasting is fine. Summarising every meeting, every week, in exactly the same format, without you remembering to do it — that is a loop's job.
