This is a weekly diary of my own AI use, mostly through Claude Code. The prompts and chat logs are automatically scraped from my devices but I edit and review before publishing.
These are not all of my weekly activities (I filter out any with client info or anything personal) but hopefully you'll get a sense of how I'm using the technology.
Prompts are lightly edited for clarity and security, and truncated if they're very long. Reflections are written by me at the end of each week and automatically pushed to this page.
Prompt:
start a new task in projects/research/ag-tech-mhs/ here’s what I want. I live inSW Vic. I’m not a farmer. I understand AI and part of the future of AI/ag is LLM based apps that speak to and between hardware like the proposed model hardware standard MHS from Anthropic. the research task is to figure out a small self contained pilot project that combines physical hardware with MHS-like capabilities essentially piloting agtech that a farmer can talk to and instruct in natural language via a platform like Claude.
What I was trying to achieve: I wanted to design a small pilot project combining hardware with LLM-based instructions on my farmland.
What happened: I researched LLM applications for controlling outdoor hardware, exploring whether Anthropic's proposed MHS standard could enable a practical pilot on my property. I conducted research across four streams and produced a 12-page report concluding that no existing shipped product lets a farmer speak to an LLM to operate hardware.
Reflection: I’ve already got my solar talking to my diesel generator…
Prompt:
Simon Willison has made an MCP for his website with a read only sql apparently https://til.simonwillison.net/llms/mcp-in-claude-and-chatgpt. Sounds like fun. Could I do one for leonfurze.com?
What I was trying to achieve: I wanted to explore building an MCP server for my website inspired by Simon Willison's datasette-mcp implementation.
What happened: I investigated Simon Willison's MCP approach and audited what I already have locally in my blog corpus and Archive game database. I found that most of the technical components I'd need to build an MCP for leonfurze.com already exist on the mini.
Reflection: Infrastructure already there, but in the end this turned out to be one of those start and forget projects
