Open-source and in charge
Plus, is UBI about to make a return to conversation?
We’re back with another edition of Machine Learnings, brought to you by the folks at Heyday.
Heyday is an AI copilot that transforms your documents, notes, and conversations into quotes, shareable content, and a queryable database.
Over the past year at Heyday, we’ve watched companies struggle to leverage the power of LLMs.
Recently, we’ve seen consulting firms spending months cobbling together prompt libraries and experimenting with every model they could find from OpenAI and others.
What ends up happening is consultants don’t know where to start, they upload sensitive documents to ChatGPT, and they waste time without delivering differentiated value to their clients.
If you work in strategy consulting, or have a friend who does, I would love to chat with you about the use cases you’ve seen emerging within your firm and at your clients’ companies.
If you’re up for a chat please grab a time here or share my scheduling link with a friend who would: https://calendly.com/sam-debrule/30min.
