🚀 Another big Microsoft AI announcement

Microsoft wants you to know it’s going all-in on AI.

They’re holding a Future of work AI event next week to discuss…whatever that title means. We can guess.

Rumor has it Microsoft is pushing ChatGPT into two key products: Outlook and Word. They’ll both be using Microsoft’s Prometheus model, based on OpenAI’s tech.

Word will use Prometheus in the same way everyone uses ChatGPT; to generate ideas for you. Like generating a draft for a resignation letter.

With Outlook, it’s revolutionary. They’re going to use OpenAI to give Outlook a search function that actually works.

Who knows for sure, though.

Bottom line: Microsoft is going all gas no brakes on AI.

🤓 Hacking away at ChatGPT’s API

Well, that was fast.

OpenAI announced the ChatGPT API on Wednesday. By Sunday a 24-hour hackathon for it happened.

What did people build?

Chatbots. Lots of chatbots. 40% of all entries.

The main question from the judges was “What are you doing about hallucinations?” which is the new “What if Facebook builds this?”

For those unaware: hallucinations in AI are “confidently incorrect” answers that it gives.

Here’s a cool thread of some creations. Highlights include code generation, a humanitarian hotline, and a Jackbox-style game.

A successful first week for ChatGPT’s API.

Let’s hope it continues.

😎 How did Slack add ChatGPT before Teams, honestly?

We keep telling y’all. Big companies are going to adopt AI tools like mad.

Case in point: Slack. They announced a ChatGPT bot.

Are they trying to convince Salesforce they were worth the $28b acquisition?

Maybe...

Here’s what the ChatGPT bot can do:

• Summaries - too important to read through every conversation? ChatGPT can summarize it for you.

• Side research - want to do some research before you jump in a conversation? ChatGPT’s got your back.

• Drafts - want to look smart and craft a product proposal with ease? ChatGPT will help you start.

Is it a selling point for executives who want to look smart? Or something that will bring actual value to employees?

Guess we’ll find out.
