I have not signed up for this. I don’t really have the time to explore this at the moment, although I want to. However, I am interested to know if anyone else has because it seems to me their utility is limited, at the moment at least.
Put another way, the kind of capabilities increasingly integrated into OpenAI and Anthropic’s chat interfaces, seem to be usurping the GUI model of the Microsoft Office and Google Docs platforms. There seems to be little, beyond the convenience of the integrations, that this solution offers when compared to the emerging alternatives.
Clearly, incumbency and size are advantages, as well as the mind-share that Microsoft Office and Google Docs between them share so it will be interesting to watch, and see how important these ballasts are to their existing business models.
Perhaps given the glacial rate at which most human beings adapt to change, in the short term this advantage may prove very powerful, but I wonder about the long term.
Hi Bruce,
I don’t think I can see the full picture here, but my read is that the people who are discovering the use cases are the ones that are using the frontier model chat interfaces and these use cases will slowly make their way into the integrations in ways that are more and more unseen.
I am constantly shocked at how one dimensionally people view these models in corporate land. The only people who ‘get it’ are the ones that are constantly interacting with the frontier model chats
hahaha… now I am not even sure that I am ‘getting it’!
I run a solo consultancy that helps small business owners with growing teams. I iterate with GPT4o/o1 and Sonnet 3.5 all the time and the stuff I share with people seems to blow them away and be paradigm shifting. The people I share with are normally those that use AI, but have not subscribed to any models, they use it to help them write more than anything, maybe think through problems.
So, let’s assume I don’t get it (safe assumption)…
