Travelling with ChatGPT is incredible. Translate this Japanese menu into romaji (latin character Japanese) and English. Explain the difference between Turkish yoghurt dishes haydari and cacik. Walking around Manila with voice mode talking me through some basic Tagalog phrases I might need.

wow something that you can find literally in the second sentence of the wikipedia article for haydari.

For features: Transcript of a Zoom call, ask the LLM what you could do better, how you might be perceived, what the LLM thinks you wanted to achieve (vs. what you really wanted to achieve) etc. Gave me great insights and helps me every day.

Self-marketing: Started Marvai this week https://github.com/StephanSchmidt/marvai/ as an AI tool for installing useful Claude Code prompts

I’m learning German, and my listening comprehension particularly needs work. So I create mini stories on different topics using Claude, then ElevenLabs to do narration.

I do a very similar thing. I have Gemini create me a story based on a historical activity that happened on that day with an instruction to use A2 and below constructs.

Then I have it give me:

- A transliteration (I'm still getting used to the non-Latin alphabet)

- A list of vocabulary from the story

- Grammar tips

Then it is emailed every day around lunch.

I need to go back and tweak it, though, because Gemini really likes starting stories off saying that the sky is clear and the sun is shining.

My company has a specific format for weekly updates, and, frankly, it's a pain to put together.

So what I do is I take notes in a doc throughout the week (Obsidian periodic weekly notes) and just send all of it to a custom GPT that creates the update for me. I usually then spend ~10 minutes cleaning it up.

I'm generally allergic to having an LLM write for me, but seeing as it _must_ be in the requested template and ChatGPT saves me a couple of hours, I let this case slide.
