Like any new ground-breaking technology, ChatGPT is exciting and terrifying at the same time. I’ve experienced this as I see generative AI features being quickly added to the products I use daily. The question of how to use generative AI is also coming up in conversations with our clients.
My answer is this — before deciding on adding AI to your solution, you need to understand what you’re trying to accomplish. Generative AI is undoubtedly powerful, but that doesn’t mean it will deliver the results your customers are looking for.
That being said, our team of curious developers and designers jumped in headfirst last week in our first ChatGPT Hackathon. Over a day and a half, four teams created four unique solutions powered by ChatGPT. We’re going to write about all four solutions on our blog, and you can read the first one below.
If you have generative AI questions, I’m happy to discuss what we’ve learned and how you can potentially use it in your solutions.
This week is also the Collision Conference in Toronto. Over 40,000 people are estimated to be there, including me. If you’re there and would like to meet up, just reply to this email.
