🤖 Let an AI handle your to-do list, thanks to Adept

PLUS: Stripe + OpenAI

Happy Friday.

What a week of AI, huh?

We’re not even done covering it all.

👀 A virtual assistant for everything on your computer

Jeeves, fetch me the AI. Source: Adept

You need an AI assistant for browsing your computer.

At least, according to Adept AI.

Ambitious, we know.

Also realistic. They managed to raise $350m at an over $1b valuation. From companies like Atlassian and Microsoft.

But why the buzz?

Adept AI is working on something you would actually use every day.

Take booking a flight. Adept says their model should be able to do that for you, if you tell it to do so. It acts as a virtual overlay over your computer screen, so you can call it anytime.

This could be the perfect personal AI assistant. Every multitasking thread you’ve got during your workday can spawn a task for Adept.

That’s why all the big corporations want in.

The Duolingo owl isn’t asking anymore.

You’re gonna learn French, and their AI is gonna help you.

Duolingo announced a new super premium tier above their top paid tier. It's literally just their top tier + AI.

How does AI help you learn Spanish before your trip to Tulum?

Two ways.

“Explain my answer” - If you get an answer wrong and you just aren’t sure why, AI has you covered. Or even if you get it right. Duolingo AI will explain the answer.

“Roleplay” - No, not that kind. Want some practice outside of the lessons? Roleplay ordering coffee, discussing vacation plans, or shopping with a generative AI companion.

Duolingo made it a point to say these are GUIDED conversations. You know, to avoid getting the AI to say things it's not supposed to.

The conversation is AI-generated, so it’ll be different each time.

At $30 a month, though…we might stick to the owl.

Stripe 🤝 OpenAI

Fancy. Source: Stripe

Stripe and OpenAI got married this week. The wedding was gorgeous, and Microsoft caught the flowers.

Really, though, OpenAI announced that Stripe is powering everything finance-related for ChatGPT. Stripe announced that yawn GPT-4 is now powering their AI doc generation. Bo-ring.

OpenAI said that Stripe is building other tools on GPT-4, so take that for what it’s worth.

And also, Stripe Atlas customers get a ton of free GPT-4 credits.

Still, it feels like every single company is feeding their documentation through GPT.

What new behaviors will that trigger?

And will GPT-4 allow Stripe to recover from their down round?
