Biting off too much and overcomplicating
Dove into the first tool today, a media planning calculator. Spent an hour crafting what I thought would be the perfect prompt. I even structured it with <section> dividers (even though it’s o1 and some of these prompt tips are quickly getting phased out with the increasingly sophistication with the models ability to reason. But anyway, it still failed pretty miserably. You can find it here. (Great, now I need to research why a simple post doesn’t have the standard blue link, underline for hypertext links. Part of the journey.)
You see, I think I was trying to do the most. I tried to build my first web tool by starting with maybe the most complicated calculator I could think of. And the result showed. I was trying to create a relatively complicated spreadsheet formula that has roughly 3 phases of calculation (requiring new inputs each time) and uses more than 20 dynamic fields that need to be accounted for. Looking back at this hopefully it’s funny how naive I started out on this. Going to keep the old calculator live for reference and hopefully to see how far the finished project is (fingers crossed).
The prompt (again, that took me almost an hour to think through and document, and proofread, and edit, and rewrite. LOL):
It thought for 92 seconds and generated the following code:
JK, I can’t figure out how to past html code in here without breaking everything. Part of the journey I guess. Need to get that added in later. But first, I gotta start with a friggin’ easier calculation. Let’s simplify it next time.
P.S. might have to do with the note o1 provided: Note: Since WordPress might restrict the use of <script>
tags in posts or pages for security reasons, you might need to use a plugin that allows custom JavaScript or adjust your site’s settings accordingly. I sure hope it’s not that simple.
The Prompt
It thought for 92 seconds and generated the following code:

Conversion (%) | $0.00 |
Section 2: Channels Allocation
Awareness Channels
Channel | Percentage (%) | Budget |

Section 3: Products/Services Allocation

OMG it works WAY better as an imbedded table. Holy breakthrough. Now to bed until another day.
