How JCal is Automating Investor Research and Outreach with OpenAI Plugins
JCal is using OpenAI plugins to automate investor research and outreach. With Zapier integration, JCal is working on two projects. First, JCal is using the plugin to collect the names of major LPs and researching them by finding their Twitter handles and LinkedIn profiles. Next, JCal plans to automate following and DMing potential investors on Twitter. JCal also intends to integrate the plugin with their internal LP database to avoid emailing duplicates. Additionally, JCal is using the plugin to build a database of newsletters and find relevant news stories in real-time, increasing productivity. JCal believes that around 30% of knowledge work can be automated using OpenAI plugins. They also mention the promising results of playing with the kayak and expedient interface for travel planning. JCal recently hosted in-person events and noticed a debate between building verticalized apps or relying on AI models like CHET, GPT-4, Bard, or Poe. JCal recommends using the verticalized app approach. Lastly, JCal warns that white-collar workers who do not adapt to using AI may be at risk of losing their jobs.
