What's Love Got To Do With It?...

Claim: language shapes thought and automated sentiment needs concrete data checks. A Rails WhatsApp app fetches headlines from NewsAPI, sends them to IBM Watson NLU for sentiment and emotion scoring, and replies via Nexmo Message API using JWT auth and Ruby gems. The build runs and returns surprising specifics: only 38.8% of headlines match the topic, emotion shows ~55% joy and ~46% anger while sentiment is −0.62. The talk emphasizes tool choices, sorting by popularity, and validating the returned data.
