Integration details

Description

Research Daniel Brain's engineering work with answers cited from his own sources: his resume, 20 posts, 7 conference talks, 2 patents, press coverage, Hacker News discussions and 23 open-source READMEs. Useful when you are hiring, investing, interviewing or writing about him, or learning from his work on cross-domain JavaScript, payments and agent checkout. Ask a question and ChatGPT answers from those sources and links each one. Open the library to search and read everything, including the original pages, and watch his talks with a transcript that follows the video. Prepare a one-page briefing for a recruiter, engineer, investor or journalist. Read his latest updates, or ask to be notified when he posts a new one. Send him a message; only the message is required, and he can reply if you add your email. Daniel is co-founder and CTO of OneText and was Principal Staff Engineer on PayPal Checkout, where he created the zoid and post-robot open-source libraries. The plugin needs no account and is read-only apart from sending him a message, which ChatGPT asks your permission for first.

Tools

11 tools agents can invoke

Returns Daniel Brain's recent status updates, newest first: short notes on what he is working on, posted by him. Use it for "what is Daniel up to", "any news from Daniel", or to check for something more recent than the resume.
get_updates
Returns the full text of one source by id (from search or list_sources): an essay, patent, talk transcript, press article, discussion thread, README or the resume. Long sources are paged; pass the returned next_offset to continue.
fetch
Returns the full text of Daniel Brain's resume from danielbrain.ai: profile, experience at OneText and PayPal, open source, side projects, patents, press, talks, writing, technologies and education, with links. Call this first for any question about his career, background, skills or how to reach him.
get_resume
Lists every document the server can search: id, type, title, URL, date and length. Useful for "what has he written about", "which talks has he given" or to pick an id for fetch.
list_sources
Opens the browsable library of everything Daniel Brain has written, built or said: resume, posts, talks, patents, press, discussions and code, with search, a reader and a talk player. Call it when the user wants to browse or explore rather than ask one question. Pass view "tour" when the user wants to see what the plugin can do.
open_library
Assembles the sources for a one-page briefing on Daniel Brain for a particular audience (recruiter, engineer, investor or journalist) and optional focus. When the arguments are omitted the user is asked with a short form. Use it when someone is preparing to interview, evaluate or write about him.
briefing
Returns the plugin's settings schema, this user's current values and the layout.
settings_read
Full-text search across Daniel Brain's resume, Medium posts, patents, conference talk transcripts, press coverage, Hacker News discussions and open-source READMEs. Returns ranked excerpts with the source id, title and URL. Use it for his opinions, technical approaches, specific projects, or anything the resume does not answer; then call fetch with an id for the full source.
search
Sends Daniel Brain a short message from the user, at most 2,000 characters. Only the message is required; name, reply-to email and what it is about (hiring, investing, press, or just saying hi) are optional, and without an email Daniel cannot reply. Where the host supports forms the user reviews it in a form first. Delivery is to Daniel directly. A few messages per sender per day.
message_daniel
Updates one or more of this user's plugin settings. Pass only the properties that change under "set".
settings_update
Plays one of Daniel Brain's seven conference talks (Node Summit, FullStack London, JAMstack, JS@PayPal, 2015 to 2021) in a player with a synced, timestamped transcript. Pass a talk id, and optionally a start time in seconds; omit the id to let the user pick from thumbnails.
