Analyzing Google Apps Script from Stackoverflow

Thu, 01 May 2025 14:48:54 +0900

Abstract

The report details a novel Gemini API method to analyze big data beyond AI context window limits, which was validated with Stack Overflow data for insights into Google Apps Script’s potential.

Introduction

Generative AI models face significant limitations when processing massive datasets, primarily due to the constraints imposed by their fixed context windows. Current methods thus struggle to analyze the entirety of big data within a single API call, preventing comprehensive analysis. To address this challenge, I have developed and published a detailed report presenting a novel approach using the Gemini API for comprehensive big data analysis, designed to operate effectively beyond typical model context window limits.

Abstract

A new large language model (LLM) called Gemini with an API is now available, allowing developers to analyze vast amounts of data. This report explores trends in Google Apps Script by using the Gemini 1.5 API to analyze questions on Stack Overflow.

Introduction

The release of the LLM model Gemini as an API on Vertex AI and Google AI Studio has opened a world of possibilities. Ref The Gemini API significantly expands the potential of various scripting languages, paving the way for diverse applications. Additionally, Gemini 1.5 has recently been released in AI Studio. Ref We can expect the Gemini 1.5 API to follow suit soon.

Introduction

At Stackoverflow, a lot of people post the questions and answer to the questions every day. By this, there are a lot of important information in Stackoverflow. I have already reported “Trend of google-apps-script Tag on Stackoverflow” using the data retrieved from Stackoverflow. Ref. 1 It is found that the important statistical result can be obtained by analyzing the data on Stackoverflow. In this report, I would like to introduce the statistical analysis of duplicated questions for the google-apps-script tag in Stackoverflow. When the duplicated question is analyzed, it is considered that the important issues for users can be known. As the result, it was found that there are the trend that the duplicated questions related to Javascript, Google Spreadsheet , the process cost and the cooperation with HTML and Javascript are posted.

Notifying Comments at Stackoverflow by Email using Google Apps Script

Fri, 13 Jul 2018 16:32:04 +0900

This is a script for sending an email when users got comments at Stackoverflow. I had wished I could get an email when I got a comment at Stackoverflow. Although I investigated about this, it seems that I can get the email every 3 hours. For this situation, I wished I could get it much earlier. I thought that this can be achieved using GAS and Stack Exchange API. So I created this script. The features of this script are as follows.
