Do you use AI for work at your company?

If so - hit reply here. I'd love to chat. I'm building something you might like.

OpenAI is going to move hard on these deals so create lock-in. Harder for startups to sign deals with these huge publishers.

Tonights goal for ContentSpark.ai is to add support for Personas for workflows. So you are working with different assistant types depending on the workflow you create.

2023-06-19


Ok - it was pretty similar to the Spark work I've got done. Now Sparks support Personas!

Have you documented the common AI prompts and/or workflows for your business you want your team to use?

I'm all about an MVP, but I want to do a little bit of UI cleanup tonight on contentspark.ai.

Phase 1: Use system and custom personas/sparks to create social media posts. Phase 2: Create their own workflows outside of social media.

Where are the best AI and prompt related communities today?

Me: “huh. Who could have said CIS is a slur?”

“Oh”

Me: (giving seriously creepy looks at anyone driving a Rivian or Ford Mach-E)

I wonder why the value of my Tesla has collapsed?

Do Supreme Court justices ever ask themselves “gee - why do all these billionaires suddenly want to be my friend?”

Or is it “nah. I’m just that awesome!”

Gave up trying to teach Chat GPT JSON to get multiple options in responses. Just not reliable enough for automations and workflows.

Going to use completion counts or iterative chats that log individual replies instead. contentspark.ai

Feed > Posts > Input > Persona + prompts > Output multiple results > Human moderated results workflow is going great.

Really enjoying my Cat GPT persona...

Going to call it here. Tomorrow we go heavy into persona and prompt engineering.

KickoffLabs Summer Internship Program

Someone was told that video games cost money and now KickoffLabs has a summer intern. :) He's completed the editing, production, and publishing of the last 6 videos on our YouTube channel with Descript so far.

www.youtube.com/@Kickoffl...

Tomorrow he wants to create new thumbnail templates for our videos because ours are "boring". So I'm going to set him loose with Canva.

The intern, Gabe, thought our YouTube thumbnails were boring.

So, as a good manager, you bring it up.. you fix it.

And that’s what he did today for a couple hours. I set him loose on Canva.

Top ones are his. Bottom is the older video thumb.

As a builder I’m excited to ship a bunch of things. I feel pressure on myself to do so.

I have to remind myself all the time that if shipping this week VS next week makes a difference then your business wasn’t that strong to being with.

Last night I started re-organizing Content Spark around the concept of AI+Human workflows. Here's a peak of Feed > Spark > Social Posts > Moderation.

Content Spark UI showing post moderation workflow

I'm also building out the ability for people to start with simpler workflows. Input > AI Spark > Content.

Any sparks can be used as a one/off or connected to a larger workflow.

Went out to eat at the local bar by myself. Decided I’d try and talk to people instead of staring at a phone.

5 mins into talking to the bartender and another patron I was told “the CIA wants to turn the west coast into extermination centers for white people. “

I may never talk to a stranger again.

Shitty web3 companies remain shitty web3 companies that run with the wanabee grifters they feed off of to enable their pyramid scheme bullshit.

It's why most marketing SaaS companies don't allow web3 campaigns. They don't want to enable this BS and realize that half of them don't pay their bills.

Happy Monday!

If you fired up #chatgpt for work today I'd love to talk to you about #ai and what you're using it for.

Big things coming for contentspark.ai and I'd love you to be a part of it.
