Development Log

A record of what I ran into, tried, and chose while building SideKick.

AI Development

Published the first English Knowledge articles after author review

I published the first English-language articles for the Uchide no Kozuchi (Knowledge Base). The workflow I had built earlier — having AI translate articles and write Japanese-language review reports so I can make a publish decision without reading the English myself — ran on a real set of articles for the first time, and those articles are now live.

AI Development

A way to judge whether AI-generated articles are ready to publish, even without reading English

I am prototyping a feature in SideKick's Knowledge Base that automatically generates English versions of Japanese articles. By having the AI write an audit report in Japanese, I designed the system so I can judge quality without needing to read the English output myself.
