👾 Back in the game — 🤖ChatGPT for X
The Rabbit year has been quite intense so far!
It finally feels like a post-Covid period, my first business trip in three years, going back to conferences, and people in Japan are slowly starting to drop the face masks!
The first highlight of this quarter was visiting France, finally meeting Margot face-to-face for the first time, and meeting up with Tiphaine and Maxence after three long years.
The energy at World AI Cannes was terrific, Matt’s Podknife presentation was outstanding, and the attendees all understood that AI is finally here. CityTech Tokyo was another highlight — it was great to see so many startups worldwide, which was a first, at least for me. Tokyo is actively trying to catch up on the tech scene; not exactly sure how, but at least there’s a will to change this!
My next stop should be North America end of June, with a short trip to New York and Toronto for the Collision conference before stopping by Vancouver on the way back. I need another stop by Shanghai this year, and I will have met my goal of visiting each of you!
ChatGPT played an essential role in exposing everyone to what AI can do. It changed our narrative: we do not need to convince that AI will transform every business anymore.
It also opened new opportunities — and we’ve been busy building custom integrations of ChatGPT, or what I like to call “ChatGPT for X”.
ChatGPT is a powerful tool, and when applied to a specific business and problem, augmented with a custom proprietary dataset, it’s even more powerful! In the upcoming weeks, we’ll launch three different versions of those chat interfaces on three projects — exciting!
I’m convinced that the most knowledgeable person in every business will be an AI agent. Humans are very limited by their I/O bandwidth, but an AI agent could know everything that happens at a company in real time. We will get there soon enough.
On the business development side, we managed to sign a few new projects and have a lot of promising conversations. We need to improve our storytelling and provide better actionable first steps. Selling custom services, particularly in AI, has always been challenging. We hope our upcoming “packaged services” will help our leads to push the trigger.
We knew the AI industry would progress exponentially, and we feel it now. There’s no single day with announcements, releases, and open-source projects. Opening Twitter is exciting and frightening; there’s not enough time to explore everything. A mix of excitement and fear of missing out.
What have you been up to? Has AI changed your working habits yet? I’m curious to hear your thoughts, and it’s essential to step back, take time and reflect, especially during busy times like these!
