This website has included a little personal API in the footer for quite a while. But in recent-(ish) months I’ve expanded a bit on it, as you can see in the screenshot above. It now also makes an informed guess on whether I’m likely doing okay on a given day or whether I might be under the weather – for example because of falling sick, having slept poorly or other factors.

I've been a subscriber of OpenAI's ChatGPT plus for a while though I have been struggling to justify it to myself for a while until recently.
