It feels like Notion AI is just building on top of OpenAI's GPT.

It makes me wonder: is their value created by GPT front ends like Notion AI and Jasper?

ChatGPT seems like a superior and more flexible front end. I wouldn't want to pay for Notion AI or Jasper post-ChatGPT.

AI is a multiplicative feature. If you have an empty Notion workspace and only want to do AI things, there's not much reason to use Notion instead of ChatGPT. But if you're using Notion as a collaborative wiki & project management workspace, there's a lot of opportunity for AI to augment the stuff you're already doing there, and our AI features will have much more context on your knowledge than you'd get by copy-pasting documents into ChatGPT one by one.

From the market perspective, APIs like OpenAI have made AI features ~trivial to implement compared to 3 years ago. Every content-oriented app under the sun is rushing to adopt these APIs; no one wants to be the last competitor with AI features - especially given the rate at which AI APIs are getting smarter.

In this context, competitive differentiation comes down to how well the feature works, how fast it improves, and how much the integration of AI features multiplies existing value of the product.

The same reason you would use VSCode with Copilot instead of calling Codex directly. You want to do it from within the environment you're using, not by calling APIs from a command line and copying + pasting the results somewhere else.

Is Jasper confirmed to be building on top of chat GPT or open ais platform?

jasper yes was one of the first GPT3 companies. they have a joint slack and dave rogenmoser is presumably one of openai's biggest paying customers https://www.theinformation.com/articles/the-best-little-unic...

Interface matters.
