DeepTakes AI #1

DeepTakes #1 highlights ChatGPT's explosive growth that many are calling a threat to Google Search, gives you actionable examples of entrepreneurs putting the tech to use, and culminates with an actionable idea leveraging the latest in AI.

Explosive Growth

ChatGPT is the latest AI tool to take the world by storm, with the Washington Post calling it the Start of the AI Revolution.

Niche text-based AI tools like Jasper.AI have been available for years for niche use cases like writing SEO-optimized blog posts.. so why did ChatGPT just take over our feeds the past few weeks?

The simple UI/UX and broad applicability of ChatGPT ensured that anyone could at least have some fun with ChatGPT. It has already become an integral part of our startups' workflows.

So what made conversational text-generating AI finally go mainstream?

• Anyone with a web browser can use ChatGPT, driving maximum accessibility.

• Low-friction onboarding, UX, and near-instant responses that let new users experience the magic in a few keystrokes.

• These details drive virality... a good product with broad applicability that anyone could get something out of, whether an hour saved writing a paper or just a laugh (it's not perfect).

We think ChatGPT and similar APIs are the infrastructure backbone of a new generation of startups and tools that will help our businesses- and we created this newsletter to share practical applications and ideas to leverage these tools to eek out an edge on your competition.

ChatGPT in Action

• Spellbook, a GPT-3-powered Microsoft Word plugin to draft contracts smarter and faster. They say Spellbook suggests language for your contracts instantly... but we drafted them a new slogan- steroids for lawyers.

• Zapier enables no-coders to make things happen online, and they're now plugged into ChatGPT. Yohei Nakajima hooked up Todoist to autodraft emails based on a quick prompt.

• Feature, not a product (FNAP). While many new tools and companies will likely be built on new AI models, some argue that AI will be a feature of existing scaled products like Notion, not the product itself. If you're a software company, you'll need to incorporate AI into your offering to not get leapfrogged by new competitors.

• Writing and illustrating a short story about an AI robot that wants to be human, with ChatGPT and DALL-E 2.
