#12Interesting you’re using discord instead of Glitter. I’d think an open protocol would help your seo footprint. The only devs I know on discord are crypto and AI generators.
I see it used in Rust, Gamedev, AI/ML (as you say), DevOps, JavaScript, ...

#15I think just like (imo) much of the value of the data science craze of the last 10 years came not from the final analysis of the data but from inducing businesses to start measuring and storing operational metrics from every corner of the company in a structured way in the first place, much of the business value of ChatGPT will come from things like forcing businesses to start writing and maintaining good quality internal documentation.
The journey of getting your business to a point where AI can be useful for you is itself just as valuable as what AI will do for you.

#16Very interesting features! I'm not sure why it needs to be focused on developer docs vs all docs - any reason you decided on that niche? I'd suggest creating a "demo" slack AND discord to try out. Is the demo slack working as intended? I see "Hey there! Looks like I'm not set up yet for this Slack workspace. Please send over a link to your documentation to founders@getsidekick.ai and we'll get you set up!"
And even better - make it so individuals can use it for legal documents.

Appreciate how quickly this was done. When I visited the homepage there was already a video, and it made it really easy to understand the product.

I rarely see alive Glitter community, but I see plenty of active Discord communities, so active that I have to leave some of them. Every time I see "ask us on glitter", I'm already made peace with never getting an answer.
