Quick read, mine the new terms — then we go straight into the build. Today's a build day, top to bottom.
Open today's Rundown rundown.ai/articles ↗The scholarship finder took longer than planned, but the detour was the value: we mapped every way to stand one up, then each of you chased a different thread. Let's bank it before we converge.
We learned by differentiating — each approach has a caveat, and naming the caveat is the real engineering.
Pushed the scholarship finder further — enhancements and options.
Began the real-time coach — and found a brand-new way to let it watch. More on that shortly.
Found the unauthenticated path — rogue account registration. Stood up evidence capture + docs, and captured his own testing methodology as he went.
One hour, highest intensity, the hardest problem on the table. It's a habit I keep myself: I stack my most demanding work on Wednesday morning — midweek, the weekend behind me and the next one not yet pulling, when my biorhythm is at its best.
No more splitting up. Today the whole team converges on the one build we've pointed at since Day 2 — the real-time game coach. Power hour is for the hardest slice of it.
The brain, the voice, and the cadence are settled. The open question — and the choice each of you makes — is the very first box: how does it watch the game?
DXcam grabs your screen → a local model reads it. Works on any game — but fights VRAM and anti-cheat.
Fork a game, add a WebSocket node that broadcasts state as JSON — your own GSI. No vision needed.
Let an AI watch from inside the game via Steam. Nicholas's find — details next.
A mod that exposes live game state for the coach to read — structured, no screen-scraping.
Give an AI worker its own Steam credentials, invite it to your game, and let it watch through the Steam platform overlay in spectator mode.
Power hour goal: getting input flowing is the hardest, fiddliest step — so we put it where you're sharpest.
Rundown's done. The architecture's settled. From 9:30 you're at full power — point it at getting the game state flowing, and by tonight the coach has its first words. Log your time in Harvest.
