Hi and welcome to this week’s update! This week I was heads down coding the bot installation and user management. I finished that in good time and spent some time iterating implementing first feedback in SquidGPT’s website + some minor formatting improvements in the actual app. Finally, today I found out OpenAI is working on their own Slack app (⚠️) - no surprise there, but still . 🛴Road to a working prototype RIP old deadline of 28.02.23. New deadline 08.03.2022. Four main deliverables: ...

Hi and welcome to this week’s update! It’s been a month since I’m working on SquidGPT - a Slack bot that answers business questions according to pre-defined frameworks. I was hoping to have a working, installable version of the bot by the end of February.

My self-imposed deadline (see random thought below) for this version is 28.02.23. ...

Hi and welcome to my weekly update, where I write about the day-to-day of my attempt at entrepreneurship. Last week I wrote about my vision for the Slack app that I’m building, and what needs to get done on the way to a working prototype. In this post I share some updates on said prototype. 🛴Road to a working prototype This week, I’ve been focused on two things: improving results from GPT and building a running slack app with slash commands and shortcuts. In terms of the day-to-day, this involved hitting new technical walls, bugs and things I’ve never done before followed by reading lots of documentation and Stackoverflow posts, and most of all trying stuff. ...

Hi and thanks for coming to my blog! In my last post I wrote about committing to build a Slack app that gives access to the GPT AI language model. This week I’ve thought more about what exactly this app should be doing and also had great progress in building a prototype. In this post, I will be covering: 🔭 Vision: When my bot grows up, what will it become? 🛴Minimum Viable Product: Current state and what’s still missing 🗿Personal update: How’s it going, Stefan? ➡️Next steps: Step nexts 🔭Vision: When my bot grows up, what will it become? The vision for the bot is to serve as a business analyst working for decision makers and the teams that support them. It is targeted at CEOs, consultants (internal and external), and (real 😀) business analysts across strategy and operations functions. These people often need to think about ambiguous business problems in structured, analytical ways. ...
