I develop a few interesting features using OpenAI in an existing product.
After a wow-effects of the first days, few users are still using it. If I talk to users they say features are awesome but they are not actually using it. Really funny.
Do you have experience of OpenAI API-based product that has high retention ?
- ignoramous 3y ago> Do you have experience of OpenAI API-based product that has high retention? perplexity.ai comes to mind. I introduced it to my students at uni a few weeks ago and they now use it extensively over Bard/ChatGPT. There are others too, like copy-writing tools (jasper.ai, copy.ai) who seem to be doing well. Besides, from experience, GitHub Copilot is so good, I can barely program without it.
- weird-eye-issue 3y agoYes I developed a SaaS and the functionality is solely based on output from OpenAI. We have several thousand paying users already with ARR above $1.5M
- opdahl 3y agoMay I ask what your profit margins are? Why can't someone just use ChatGPT instead?
- weird-eye-issue 3y agoAround 85% profit. It wouldn't be possible to get the same result from ChatGPT without a ton of prompt engineering and manually retrieving data and inserting that into your prompts. Plus, we don't just do a single API call and call it a day. A single button press in our app can set off a process which calls the OpenAI API over a dozen times plus retrieves data from several other APIs to help with the prompting
- BaculumMeumEst 3y agoout of curiosity, are you using openai's base models or are you fine tuning them? and what tech stack is your app using?
- weird-eye-issue 3y agoNextJS, CF Workers, CF Durable Objects We use the base models but once fine tuning becomes available on 3.5/4 we will be looking into that
- opdahl 3y agoMakes sense! Thanks for your answer :)
- emptysongglass 3y agoWhat's the service?
- marcopicentini 3y agoMaking $900k in the first 3 week it means monetize on the wow-effects. Is it https://prompthero.com/ https://prompthero.com/ ?
- mostthingsweb 3y agoDon't know why they're pretending it's not, it's literally in their Twitter profile: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36197024 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36197024
- weird-eye-issue 3y agoI've got some crazy news for you: you can actually post other people's tweets on HN! Crazy, right? By the way the OP of the Twitter thread commented in that thread you linked. He has the same HN username as Twitter.
- mostthingsweb 3y agoMy apologies, I see the OP's comment you're referring to.
- weird-eye-issue 3y agoNo it is not Prompt Hero (that isn't even a SaaS is it?)
