Nice work! And very cool. Can you create Beeminder goals with it too? It looks like it would work a million times better than using ChatGPT’s new Operator feature:

(Sadly Beeminder’s UI for specifying initial rate hopelessly confused it and got me on the hook for 30 AI notes in the following 5 days 😅 – I ended up replacing that goal with one for my new [AGI Friday](https://agifriday.substack.com) newsletter.)

(Thanks to @clarissalittler who tried that first, apparently with more success.)

I’d say you understand Beeminder as well as anyone, and Claude and ChatGPT are pretty spot on just from their own brains already as well.

> **Claude** : Beeminder is a goal-tracking and behavior change tool that combines commitment contracts with quantified self-tracking. Its core philosophy is that by requiring users to put real money on the line that they’ll forfeit if they go off track (called “derailing”), and by showing clear visual feedback through a “yellow brick road” graph of their progress, people can overcome akrasia (acting against one’s better judgment) and stay committed to their long-term goals.

I guess context windows aren’t big enough yet to fit all of [help.beeminder.com](https://help.beeminder.com) plus the blog archives in?
