Unbundling ChatGPT Queries
Share
Guillermo Rauch shares insights on identifying business opportunities by analyzing how people use ChatGPT and turning those patterns into standalone products.
The concept of "unbundling ChatGPT"
- Look for clusters of common queries people make to ChatGPT that could become entire platforms
- Identify specific use cases that can be turned into opinionated workflows
- Focus on permutations of existing technologies rather than building foundation models from scratch
- Entrepreneurs should put pieces together in new ways rather than creating AI from scratch
Examples of unbundled ChatGPT use cases
-
Legal assistance
- People asking for NDA drafts led to dedicated legal platforms
- Taking a "slice" of ChatGPT's capabilities and focusing deeply on it
-
Web development
- ChatGPT is good at outputting React, HTML, and Next.js code
- This capability became the foundation for V Zero, a platform for web application development
- V Zero is "like ChatGPT but for creating web applications instead of giving you text"
-
Game creation
- Platform for people who want to create games without technical knowledge
- Integrating AI-powered sound creation and other game elements
- Democratizing game development for non-technical creators
-
Creative coding
- AI for creative coding could enable the next generation of artists
- Interactive art creation platforms
- Example: Guillermo created a DOOM-based CAPTCHA by prompting his way through modifying the open-source code
-
Form creation (TypeForm-like)
- Improving user experience through interface innovation
- One question at a time approach makes forms more user-friendly
- Similar to TurboTax's successful approach to simplifying complex processes
The value proposition
- Democratizing creation for everyone
- Cutting down development time from weeks to seconds
- Providing enterprise-grade infrastructure out of the box
- Offering performance, accessibility, and beautiful design by default
- Enabling non-technical people to create sophisticated applications
