We are in content business and one product is in the SAAS. We are using below AI products - ChatGPT - It's good for coming up with creative SEO Title, and checking grammer.

Chatbase - We recently started using GPT based support and seeing good results, users are interacting with the bot more.

AnySummary - A nice tool to upload any file in any format and chat with it, authors are using it to write articles from podcast and videos, Saving them a huge amount of time.

OpenTools AI - A website to find out new AI tools, my team always keep checking this site to find out new tool which can reduce the cost and time.

MidJourney - All of our images in the articles are from MJ now.

Hope this helps other.

A few directors have sent emails lettings folks know it's ok to experiment with as long as they dont send passwords or PII. I had it draft a thorny recursive SQL query for me one time (which I did write some extensive automated tests to validate)

Your directors are more creative than mine. Our CyberSecurity had ChatGPT non functional within days of it being released publicly. Apparently it's too much of a risk, or some nonsense.

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…

How do you measure productivity?

Extremely good at turning JSON into a Go struct. Just in general, as someone who has spent years writing Python, it’s helped me fill in gaps with Go. This is a killer feature for GPT.. if you’re proficient in one language it can help you rapidly get up to speed in another.

Surprisingly GoLand has this build in. Just copy Json into a .go file and it'll prompt you if it should convert it to a struct.

... and there is no need for AI.

Not much, really. OpenAI blocks my company's VPN so I can't even get to ChatGPT.

You mean your company blocks it, or has OpenAI black listed particular VPNs?

Many users report being filered out when connecting from a VPN: https://community.openai.com/t/access-denied-you-do-not-have...

This was typically a blocker for me, I do not surf with direct connections...

I try to use it as often as possible as a rubber duck. It feels sort of like pair programming with someone who has a pretty good idea of how most common libraries work, but where the details are fuzzy and a bit outdated.

The HR team uses it all the time to generate initial drafts for job descriptions and the like.

A member of the product team pointed our API documentation at it and asked it to write a simple query. 99% of the code was correct, except it used the wrong header for authentication. Lo and behold, that was something we hadn't documented very well!

We did an employee survey a few months ago on who was using AI tools and how, and I'm confident that usage has gone up significantly since then. I know mine has.

I use ChatGPT sometimes outside of work too, for hobby projects. I'm finding it much less useful for frontend work, partially because it's not a domain that I'm as familiar with and so the shortfalls in the code don't immediately stick out to me. It's good for writing specific things like "write a typescript function to connect to Google Sheets and write x data to a table"

For a personal project, I used ChatGPT to help create a little design tool in P5.js to find balanced arrangements of 5 magnets for a new rotary magnetic bow design. (drag the vertices of pentagon) https://editor.p5js.org/spDuchamp/full/zgtkE2xik

Here is the final 3D printed wheel that balances beautifully. https://twitter.com/CommonStef/status/1654663207707979776?s=...

This is a project that I've been totally stuck on for a quite while and it was a breeze to finish with the help of ChatGPT. Using ChatGPT to make quick little design tools in P5.js is a total game changer for me.
