AI Interns for Small Businesses: Who Will Lead the Market?
I've been working on making my own AI tools (https://openai.com/blog/introducing-gpts), kind of like building a team but without the big costs. It's like having a bunch of helpful interns, but they're all computer programs. This got me thinking a lot about small businesses like ours.
Building My Own AI Team on a Budget
Making these AI tools felt like creating my own team. It's really cheap compared to hiring real people, and these AI interns can do lots of different jobs. This is a big deal for folks like us who don't have lots of money to spend.
Spotting What's Missing for Small Businesses
While playing around with this AI stuff, I noticed there are things missing that small businesses really need. There's a big chance here to make something that fills these gaps, a tool made just for small businesses.
The Big Question: Competing with Big Companies
But here's the tricky part. Big companies like OpenAI are making their own AI stuff, like the GPT Store and GPT Enterprise. This makes me wonder if it's a good idea to make a new product that's kind of the same but more focused on what small businesses need.
The Big Choice: Special Tools vs. Big Company Tools
We're at a crossroads about what's better:
Special Tools: Making something that's just right for small businesses could be really useful and fit our needs better.
Big Company Tools: But, big companies have more stuff to offer and are already well-known.
I Want to Hear From You
If you run a small business or like tech stuff, what do you think?
Would you like a special AI tool made for small businesses, or would you rather use the big ones from famous companies?
How do you think the future looks for AI help in small businesses with all these changes?
