Did you consider just using LLMs for your product? Even with LLMs it doesn’t seem trivial to format the survey data, design the prompts, validate them across a large dataset, and present the results with nice charts and links back to the original text etc.
With LLMs I’d imagine you could do even more interesting things with analyzing survey data. It seems like the core concept of your product is still useful, and could potentially do more now. Are you actually losing customers to GPT or just feel the end is near?
Also would love to read that future blog post! Thanks
- bayeslaw 3y agoOP here.. yeah, these are all great suggestions and we considered them at length (even validated some)... the problem is, before GPT, building a deployable (i.e. not just academic paper but something that actually works) NLP pipeline was fairly niche and hard and now the barriers to entry are almost zero (but over time it's definitely trending towards zero) .. we're a small bootstrapped company doing this on the side (until we can afford to switch over).. we can't afford to compete against 100x new companies doing this (some with way deeper pockets bc either they are VC or daddy funded).. so we're not going to.. also see my response about ms copilot etc above..
