I'm wearing a lot of hats at the moment since we're still in startup mode so the list is pretty varied:

- I ask it to create list of questions that different personas might want to answer with our reports section. I then ask it to categorize those questions & to then provide suggestions for graphs & dynamic filters that would help answer those questions.

- I ask it for help translating emails and documents for international customers.

- I ask it to create markdown, formatted spec documents with really verbose context. Helps me as sort of a foundation for feature sprint kickoffs.

- I ask it to take internal documentation and to simplify it so that we're able to use it for public facing help center documentation.

- I use it as my first resource for asking questions about SQL queries, React patterns, explaining different things eg SVG properties and how to manipulate them. I gut check things with Google when I feel like it might be hallucinating but generally it does really well ~ 90% of the time. Saves lots of time compared to going to Google first.

- I ask it for help writing tests or help refactoring code

- I asked it for help in creating some policy & procedures docs that we needed for compliance. Essentially gives you a decent template to then build from & customize.

- Lots of other things. It replaced Google for so many things in my daily workflow. It also helps a lot when you're not feeling creative and you need some ideas.

I’m a company of one, and I use it every day, multiple times a day as a coding assistant. I’m using the excellent Code Genie (sp?) plug-in to VSC which puts a chat window directly in VSC and does cool things like allow you to highlight blocks of code and ask contextual questions / refactors / bug checks, etc.

I would say my efficiency is up ~20% since starting to use it, and my Google searches & StackOverflow visits are probably down 80-90%. At least with respect to this corner of the internet, they are both in mortal danger.

Copywriting content creation, job postings, translation, rough drafting code. So far it's all topical usage by employees but we've already got plans to do much deeper product integration in the future.

Letting people get a free taste directly with ChatGPT was definitely a smart move from OpenAI. The execs are already on board because of it.
