I have got the AVI Running and it worked well for a few days running the daily Briefing but then it just stopped running. I have tried getting it to run again but it simply refuses to re-start.

I also got the "Newsletter 1" running which is good, I just have to run it daily by pressing the "Evolve" tab and it creates a nice report. I am still having to "Copy " the results from the "Newsletter Output" Files to copy/paste into my blog, but the articles are really high quality.

I am looking forward to seeing your new video tutorials and being able explore more automations using the AVI Tool.

Here is an example of an article I posted from the AVI Report.

Hi Dan, I’m hoping to get started next week. One thing

comes to mind which is loss of power. Rural life is great until a non-scheduled power outage. When powering up the PC, does Avi remember where it left off?

Dan Raine's avatar

yes, always. Even to the micro-second.

Good to know Dan. The joys of overhead lines means we have anything ranging from a few hours, a local farmer colliding with a pole knocking us out for about 24 hrs. The worst was a tree hitting the lines in a storm which caused our local transformer to explode - no power for 3 days while they waited for a replacement!

First: Morning Briefing was giving ghost sessions repeatedly, and when it did give output, it was not what I had asked for in Identity. I deleted the agent and reinstalled it. I revamped the Identity, Input, and Goals completely. Cycle 0 there was no output. Cycle 1 was nearly perfect.

Second: Newsletter Pipeline: I installed the agents last week, and modified the Identities and Inputs to be more consistent with the newsletter I intend to start. But then I did not know what to do. I made a guess that it starts with the Scout, so I ran some Evolve cycles on the Scout. At some points there was a message that input was needed from the user, but I could not figure out what I was supposed to do there. There is something scheduled for Friday morning, so I took my hands off of the agent and waited. But nothing happened Friday morning. I got the impression that AVI was confusing the inputs and feeds for the Newsletter with those of the Pipeline. I deleted the Newsletter agents.

In your videos I hope there will be a step-by-step on how to run the pipeline. I also hope you can explain how to maintain the independence of one agent - e.g. Morning Brief - from other agents - e.g. Newsletter Pipeline. Is AVI able to pause or halt one agent without halting others. What is a Hard Reset?

AVI may require a blue book to explain the different tabs and their functions. For example, what are the automation groups, and what do they do? What is IDLE, for example. Also, an explanation of the tools would be helpful.

For both Morning Briefing and Newsletter Pipeline, I searched and found my own RSS feeds. I think these may be actions of a beginner. But with Newsletter Pipeline we are advancing to an intermediate level. I am hoping there will soon be guidance in creating an original agent, with some guidelines for what to say.

Thank you

I am glad you tried it out. There is a manual for Avi on its way but I will show you in detail in the first video how to use the pipeline. Thanks and I will make sure I do a series of videos showing every aspect as it can be very confusing.

I have deployed moriarty with some 'this side of the pond' adjustments. I tried to give a FRED key in chat but it says it s not allowed to take it in chat. How do I get my API's stored in the secrets area?

Please also cover inter-agent communication and coordination. I haven't been able to iron that out - they keep giving up and resorting to writing to a file to communicate, which seems to fail every time.

I still love Avi though! Keep at it!

Hey Dan, looking forward to the videos series!

When i go to create a new manual Agent and go to add a new goal it says ‘API ERROR, 401 not authorised’.

My APIs all seem to be active… what do think the issue is please?

Cheers, Ingram

Did you enter a password when I added the new secure sign-in? I will be releasing a new update in the next 24h with hundreds of little fixes, which might fix this, if not I will work with you to get this resolved

Ingram's avatar

Yes. I added a pw. Cheers, I’ll try again tomorrow

Hey Dan, I’m being told I need a Minimax API key. Do we need one and if so, what subscription?

If this is all being explained in the vids I can wait for those.. cheers!

Dan Raine's avatar

yes i will cover this tomorrow
