SSAB - January 30, 2025

SUCCESS! MULTIPLE! :O :D Zapier automation to pull SLV YT descriptions and put them into a spreadsheet which is then emailed to me every weekend! SUCCESS! Zapier automation to pull SSAB transcriptions from a spreadsheet and put them into a different spreadsheet and then email me every weekend! AND… Was able to generate a newsletter from this spreadsheet for SLV, but NOT for SSAB - too much data! I ALSO created an Eleven Labs demo that used my voice but it can’t do bilingual texts, it’s gotta be one or the other. SUCCESS! Linked to the mp3 from Spotify in my Notion database! SUCCESS! Word of the Day from Merriam-Webster calendar translated INTO CHINESE, put into a NOTE, and then… SPOKEN IN CHINESE and saved in a particular folder! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_5KvwuT0DQ Twas a good day, my friends. As far as I know, this doesn’t require the paid version of ChatGPT, but there are other APPs the guy talks about that require 3rd party APPs. Also managed to get a workout in, light one, but got it done. Haven’t been stretching very much lately. Donate to the show!
