This is a side-project of ours for now. Actual costs have been minimal, save for our time - which we decided to cap just so we don't go into our usual perfectionism. So we haven't thought deeply about monetisation TBH.
If this ever gets _big_ - and hence useful to enough people - I would like to have a very simple and easy-to-appreciate monetisation. So not ads, nor subscriptions. Pay X and get 10*X value back in your life or somesuch thing.
Yup. That's a fair point to bring. We use the OpenAI APIs with `gpt-3`. No particular fine-tuning done, or anything special than prompt-building and some invocation parameters that encourage more diverse answers.
Indeed at the moment it's not much over what raw ChatGPT can offer. But I'm looking at ChatGPT as an infrastructure component. Not really meant for the "average person" to interact with. This tools (and others such as copy.ai, Notion, etc.) contextualise it in a way that makes sense for the job a person needs to do.
Nevertheless, it does have a number of features to structure the output in a way that's tailored for resumes, reviews, cover letters etc. And it does have a UI that we think makes it easier to iterate on each individual idea or paragraph.
We want to add some features that "justify" it more as existing as a separate product. Things like auto-improving your LinkedIn profile, or a history/log of folks you've reviewed, etc.
What sort of features you'd like to see to make this more worthwhile as a product?
This is a small tool my brother and I worked over the holiday season.
It helps you write performance reviews, cover letters, and even parts of your CV. It's goal is to make it easy for you to go from the crisp thoughts inside your head to the fuzzy prose that's required in these HR interactions.
ChatGPT does the heavy lifting of course. This thing is magic!
We're both been managers at one time or another, and struggled to get the writing just right in these formal interactions. We also both wanted to try out ChatGPT in a more "production" setting. So my brother had the initial idea of taking the drudgery away from writing performance reviews. One thing led to another, and through feedback and early demos the tool is broader than we originally anticipated.
Even though it's still a toy right now, we're hoping it proves useful to folks.
Comments, critiques, improvements are most welcome.
It uses a lurky captcha solving service, as well as chromedriver, which bin patches chrome so that chrome is automatable in a hard to detect way (off the shelf selenium is detectable by websites), but it works quite well, if you can manage to get it running. We've got a ChatGPT slackbot setup, which is quite a bit of fun in a group setting.
I don't think this is correct, one of my colleagues made a MVP using ChatGPT a month ago (I don't know how it works internally, but it was fully integrated with our system, a multi job posting system).
I get the idea, the motivation behind it, but as an employee, the first time I get an AI-generated performance report on myself is the day I change company.
Can't be bothered to offer a real, human experience when providing performance reviews ? Then I won't bother to work.
HR is one of the area where chatbots should NOT be reigning. It is literally named "Human Resources".
I don’t understand the cynicism. Are you also the type to say “can’t be bothered to properly indent your code? Forget formatters; you should be out of work.”
If you check out the actual website you’ll see that you’re still expected to fill in all the correct information. It just translated what you write (ie point form) into a different format.
I find this tool very useful because I’m expected to write half a dozen peer performance reviews for my colleagues each quarter. This takes it from “Mark gives good code reviews, but is slow to respond to my questions and shows up late to meetings” to a professional review.
> It just translated what you write (ie point form) into a different format.
Then just send the point form. You'll gain time by not having to write the word stuffing, they'll gain time by not having to read the word stuffing.
This is just adding noise to the signal, if you don't even bother to write the text why would someone bother reading it ? It's annoying for everyone and doesn't add any value
Thank you for taking the time KMnO4. We went through a couple of iterations on how to position this thing. It's not perfect for sure, but we don't want it to be "cheating on this important feedback". Especially in the manager to report relationship. But quality writing is hard, so if this thing can help you get to 90% of the way it's a good tradeoff I think.
I'm slowly hacking on [jupiter](https://github.com/horia141/jupiter) (and [announcement](https://dev.to/horia141/jupiter-dev-log-0-intro-1ni9)) which is my tool for life planning, goals management, habit building, metrics tracking, etc. It's pretty hacky and tailored to my _way_. But it is fun to code (especially since $dayJob doesn't involve that anymore), fun to blog about, and definitely something I'm using daily.
This book has a very high ROI and I recommend it whole-heartedly. I can't honestly name any computer science book where I've gained so much in such a small amount of time.
