Considerations for Building Products with OpenAI APIs
Building products with OpenAI APIs requires considering the focus on very general use cases such as reasoning, coding, and writing abilities. For specific applications like legal AI, custom models built by specialized firms like Harvey may outperform generic AI models. Developers should focus on specific use cases that align with their domain expertise to avoid direct competition with OpenAI in general spaces. Getting specific about use cases by tuning models for particular needs like sales or creating a specialized interface can enhance competitiveness. For those aiming to develop a general assistant to compete with established products, the product must offer significantly unique and compelling features to attract users and differentiate from existing solutions. Directly competing with well-established products like OpenAI's general models can pose challenges in terms of engineering and research efforts, making it difficult to succeed without a truly distinct value proposition.
