Could you describe the types of projects you worked on?

  I have a close friend who is constantly hustling but has little technical expertise, so he just says "yes" and hopes I'll swoop in and figure out execution. We built a lead qualification and sales coaching plug-in for a CRM, the thing has a lot of personality. IMO it was a project conceived to automate sales that ended up automating sales coaching. From there I've done a fair bit of red teaming customer-facing chatbots, then helped save some stuck projects because these approaches to problem solving are so new. Something that was really satisfying was a project to introduce natural language queries to a ridiculous array of internal corporate databases without sending private data out of the network. That thing is like an extremely boring corporate Jarvis. I have absolutely zero traditional "AI" skill set, but I guess there's a lot of room downstream for implementation engineering.

    You'd be amazed at the number of YC companies building that boring version of SQL Jarvis!

      That's cool, I'd love to see it become ubiquitous. It's actually a really fun problem so long as you're burning up tokens on someone else's api key
