ChatGPT, the AI-powered chatbot developed by OpenAI, has become a sensation in the tech world. With its ability to generate essays, code, and more based on short text prompts, ChatGPT has become a powerful tool for boosting productivity. However, there are also concerns about its potentially nefarious uses.
Despite these concerns, AI tools are here to stay, and their use has only continued to expand since the launch of ChatGPT just a few months ago. Major brands are already experimenting with the technology, using ChatGPT to generate ads and marketing copy, for example. OpenAI is heavily invested in the technology, having recently released GPT-4, the latest language-writing model that powers ChatGPT.
As of April 2023, OpenAI has released a number of product updates and releases for ChatGPT. The latest updates include plugins that allow users and developers on the waitlist to connect ChatGPT to the internet. Paying ChatGPT users also have access to GPT-4, which can write more naturally and fluently than the previous model that powered ChatGPT. Here is a timeline of the most recent ChatGPT updates:
April 4, 2023: Y Combinator-backed startups are trying to build ‘ChatGPT for X’
The Winter 2023 batch of Y Combinator’s Demo Day features several startups that claim to be building “ChatGPT for X.” These startups are all trying to capture a slice of the customer service software market, which is expected to be worth $58.1 billion by 2023. Here are some of the YC-backed startups that have caught our eye:
- Yuma: Yuma provides ChatGPT-like AI systems that integrate with help desk software, suggesting drafts of replies to customer tickets. Its customer demographic is primarily Shopify merchants.
- Baselit: Baselit uses one of OpenAI’s text-understanding models to allow businesses to embed chatbot-style analytics for their customers.
- Lasso: Lasso customers send descriptions or videos of the processes they’d like to automate, and the company combines a ChatGPT-like interface with robotic process automation (RPA) and a Chrome extension to build out that automation.
- BerriAI: BerriAI’s platform is designed to help developers spin up ChatGPT apps for their organization data through various data connectors.
As AI technology continues to evolve, ChatGPT is likely just the beginning of what is possible. With its ability to generate high-quality content with little human input, it has already revolutionized many industries. However, it is important to consider the potential ethical implications of AI and ensure that it is used for good.
