Update on project for SMS/Claude project - it's up and running, so if anyone wants the number to use through satellite messaging to have more or less internet access for outdoor geared things, happy to provide it. This is very much a somewhat useful toy - not some real product.
It gets a little confused, but any feedback welcome, super MVP level - I'll continue to work on it as i find issues and use cases.
Main gotcha I've seen with it so far is if you ask it for weather data, it can do that BUT if you get too specific or ask for long term forecasts, it gets confused, best for broad known location weather and 24 hour forecast - think 'What is weather for Mt. XYZ? Ok to camp?' vs. 'I'll be at 6,000 feet elevation on north side of xyz peak, too windy for a xyz tent?' I'm using budget stuff here, not any sort of real product, so cut it some slack. It also can't have any sort of conversation/memory - so one message = one response. SMS only, due to current 'free' cell provider limitations. It has no error handling, so sometimes you just won't get a response back if things aren't phrased right, to be improved later on some other weekend I get some time.
Things I've used it for so far it's done well with that i've tested so far - Specific location 24 hour forecast // at XYZ altitude and this zero - should my POI be any different? // I ate this small blue berry, was it good or bad? // How much extra weight is packing out the hide vs just meat? // I got a small cut while skinning an animal, what should i do? // What are regulations for number of trout I can keep on XYZ river
I'll be using it mainly for fun, I had to learn some of these tools for work recently. PM if you want number to it.
