My (23M) first $10k month installing internal GPT-4 for businesses

It all started in this very own subreddit just a month ago.

I posted “How I made a secure GPT-4 for my company knowledge base” and left a cheeky Google Form in the comments.

The post got 162 upvotes, 67 comments and, most importantly… ~30 form answers 😈

From there I got on 12 calls and even though I initially offered to do it for free…

I closed 2 clients for $5k each. Data privacy was my main selling point:

1st company was a manufacturer with private instructions/manuals on how to operate certain systems. I trained GPT on them and let their employees talk with these 100-page PDFs.

(When I say “train”, I refer to RAG, not fine-tune)

2nd company had customers sending them photos of sensitive documents for a customs clearing service. They had people manually extracting the info so we automated all of that.

How did I ensure data privacy and security?

I simply used MS Azure AI. They have all of the same stuff OpenAI has, but offer data privacy guarantees and network isolation.

That’s both SOC 2 and GDPR compliant. Companies love it.

Now I’m cold emailing my first 2 clients’ competitors for a quick rinse and repeat.

P.S. I’m extremely curious of different use cases since I’m looking to niche down, so I’d be happy to talk to businesses with ideas of how to use this.

You’d give me a use case idea and I’d give you advice on how to implement it.

Edit: I’m getting TONS of DMs so please be comprehensive in your first message!
