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 ?

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.

Yes 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

Making $900k in the first 3 week it means monetize on the wow-effects.

Is it https://prompthero.com/ ?

Don't know why they're pretending it's not, it's literally in their Twitter profile: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36197024

I'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.

My apologies, I see the OP's comment you're referring to.

No it is not Prompt Hero (that isn't even a SaaS is it?)

May I ask what your profit margins are? Why can't someone just use ChatGPT instead?

[weird-eye-issue]

Around 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]

out 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]

NextJS, 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]

Makes sense! Thanks for your answer :)

What's the service?
