I built a GPT[1] and fed it tons of information about Go[2], and use that to help me code and, most of all, write tests. Been a huge help and increased my productivity in a significant way.

I also built a couple of tools using the API, allalt[3] being the most important, which I use to generate alt tags for images. I suck big time at describing images, so GPT-4V helps a ton. I'll probably extend it to use ollama[4] soon, so I can use uncensored models to describe NSFW images as well[5].

Speaking of notes, I also built brane[6], which is a command-line notes application I use to log what I do throughout the day. It integrates with GPT's API, so you can ask questions about your day or week; quite nice for reminding me of what I did that week, helps me a lot in therapy sessions.

Overall, GPT and ChatGPT improved my life quite a bit. Really happy with it and looking forward to a GPT-5 kind of thing and local models that can rival GPT-4.

In seriousness; If you are an engineering manager, ops manager etc - GPT Weekly Status reports would be great.

Heck, ANY position with a weekly status requirement would be great.

Heck - I really need to apply it to Construction Project Management, and status reports like that. A contractors GPT would be epic - there are so many skilled trades that dont have a tech-savvy staff, and if you could empower Electricians and General Contractors with a GPT specific to each construction project.
