Updates April 13

PGrid

• Progress on implementing laptops.
  • Added specs search for brand and model, including using shared utils for normalisation and for attribute verification after specs search is done.
  • Ran specs search without agent for brand specs search and instantly found issues with the prompts not making use of search tools or using local LLM knowledge when doing normalisation. Started a document to help AI in the future follow some rules regarding writing prompts.
  • Work in progress on using Codex SDK for an agent that can use tools like searching the DB, reading the code, and searching the web. Managed to get it to be able to use Prisma MCP and use search tools.
  • Issues with laptops having the same name but different generations. Updated prompts and schema of a laptop model to include generation.
  • Issues with research prompt not researching screen size but just using the title, which sometimes doesn’t include decimal points.
  • I think the best thing to help with classification would be to get more data from retailers while scraping over just the title. So started updating scrapers to get part numbers, descriptions and images as well, but only a little progress for this.
• Added a few more descriptions for RAM listings.
• Further work on making Next.js and Astro frontend comparable in functionality before replacing Next.js with Astro.
  • Did a little Figma mock-up to try creating a nicer design for the details page tables. Currently it’s just a monospace font simple table, but hard to read.
  • Tried to do the deployment switch but there were some errors client-side and it appeared Prisma leaked some types, so reverted and did not deploy.
• A little work done on cleaning up old types and old tables related to first version of GPU tracking.
• Got an AI agent to take a bunch of screenshots from different retailers using the internal CLI and Firefox plugin created. Goal is to create videos flipping through lots of retailer screenshots, but I need to come up with a script on what to talk about.
• Created more slideshows to post to TikTok. Currently gets around 1k views, but I don’t think it results in many people visiting the site. Trying to post 1 slideshow per day but haven’t achieved this yet.
