After a lot of searching my daily life for something that I can streamline or get some assistance. After no success, I resulted to finding a movie to watch and made a mental note to record a review/rating on Letterboxd; not that I think that my opinion matters but I like to keep track of what I watched, what I thought, and how my view stacks up against the rest of moviegoers.</p> <p>I figured out that I could set up a little chatbot that can talk to me about the latest movies that I am watching or have just watched. Talking with it through Telegram like I would friends walking out of a the movie theater. It is currently set up to scrape reviews to figure out what pros and cons are for the movie not just what the movie scores on a scale of 1 to 5 stars. This also helps me expand on what I am writing by asking me questions about if I agree with this pro or this con people are saying about the movie. </p> <p>I am glad to have tried this and hope to create/share more tools using this fun platform.</p> devchallenge openclawchallenge
