Setting up CI and CD

I have spent a lot of time working on setting up CI and CD. And all around robustness of the setup. Alongside of that I also evaluate some new tools that might end up in the stack. While I’d like to just press the “start” button. I have to see a couple of more weeks of fault-free work. Things are running just fine now, and have been for about 3 weeks. And there is not much more enhancement I’ve planned for this stage.

CI and CD is crucial

In order for Carl to help out I had to focus my efforts on the CI and CD tooling. He is really doing a great work since the meltdown a while back. When i publish a PR he will review it, and he is actually spot on now. He catches 4/5 bugs and SBK (Shit Behind Keyboard). He also did a full integration to Nextcloud Talk for Alice which is very helpful.

Integrations in place

Alice have a wide feature set now with email, calendar, talk and files uploaded to NC. If she spot any invoices or incoming funds she adds them to the money app. I love that I don’t have to worry about these things! After a test run with giving her access to potential leads, she have delivered some meetings. All while being perfectly honest about being AI of course. I am very cautious with her talking to people. She has to get permission every time for now so that she wont start being a menace.

Future plans

Apart from integrating more tools. Making sure that things are stable, I also started to work on a security and a PR officer. These things are harder to do IMO. I want the bots to feel as human as possible, but they also have to be ethical! As they start to interact outside of trusted testers and family. I really want to make sure that no one gets fooled by them. And that its always very clear that they are not human. And above all, they are not allowed to push things on to people that are not interested. This is actually a tricky minefield IMO. And require a lot of thinking and planning from my
