ACP and AI

[Jeff Lewis]

Some might find this useful. If you convert the ACP help from .CHM to .TXT (use any tool you wish) you can create a Google Notebook LM that will allow for complex queries.
NOTE: I have a Google Workspace Business account so all data stays security in my account and is not shared with Google, don't want to violate any license restrictions.
Only data from the help source is used, not outside data from any other source is incorporated in the response.

I use it to provide details on the setup, configuration and API details. For example the query: How do I setup weather returns setup by step directions for setup and configuration of the Weather component in ACP. (Attached it the response to How do I setup Weather?)

I found it much easier to use natural language to comb through the help files and the responses are complete and easy to read.

You can even have the model generate scripts that use the ACP API, I have generated a couple dozen - it generates javasrcipt, VBA and python code. The results include error handling are very easy to read. Of course it all needs to be code reviewed but the starting point is very close to the end script.

Once the NotebookLM is created you can query the model as in the example.

Query: What API methods return the telescope RA?
Response:
The sources indicate that the following API methods and properties return telescope Right Ascension (RA):
•
**Telescope.RightAscension**: This property returns the current right ascension of the telescope as a double-precision number, in J2000 coordinates. This is the primary way to get the telescope's current RA.

You can use it to generate plans as well. A query might be: Generate a plan to Cool the CCD to -35 then Image <Target Position> 40 times for 5 secs in filters V,,B,R, Shutting down when completed.

This was my test plan, and it worked as expected. I have generated more complex plans with multiple targets and chaining to other plans.
