I began enjoying round with Chat GPT a number of weeks in the past. I used to be blown away. Instantly, I needed to construct one thing utilizing this software. I noticed this was a once-in-a-lifetime golden alternative to get into one thing on the precise proper second.
I toiled for a number of weeks on what to create.
I wished it to be one thing that everybody on the earth might use. My previous tasks (not in AI) have been area of interest use circumstances in small native areas, and I wished to construct one thing extra important than that. The most important factor I realized from all my entrepreneur endeavors is to, going ahead, construct one thing with an enormous potential market. Too usually I constructed one thing cool that solely comparatively few individuals would ever want to make use of.
So I googled world trending matters on Google developments. Instantly, and fairly fortunately, I discovered the key phrase “cowl letter” to be extraordinarily fashionable at that second. And it was an “aha” second as a result of I, too, had a ache level in cowl letters.
Both I hated doing cowl letters and labored by means of them for jobs I actually wished or just skipped making use of to the roles that required cowl letters that I wasn’t that enthusiastic about anyway.
And so, I made a decision to create an AI cowl letter generator.
To make it totally different from any cowl letter generator on the market (which existed earlier than AI), I noticed I wanted a key function nobody else had. After which it dawned it me that the majority cowl letter turbines merely ask for your abilities. What if my cowl letter generator requested to your abilities and the abilities required within the job description?
Within the outcome, I got down to create a canopy letter generator that requested you to stick your resume and job description into separate types and blend them up right into a cool cowl letter. It could take the textual content of each your cowl letter and the job description and write you a singular cowl letter based mostly on the abilities and expertise required within the job description relative to the abilities and expertise listed in your resume. Magic!
I’m a novice coder, however I used to be skilled (as a lot as attainable at this cut-off date) at making neat prompts on ChatGPT so I knew I might do it.
So I fiddled with the Open AI playground, experimenting with my prompts over two days till I discovered what I believed was the very best outcomes for a canopy letter created from my resume and a job description for a job I truly wished that I discovered on-line. I’d say I attempted about 1000 totally different prompts, with many distinctive mixtures of max tokens, temperature and penalties.
Subsequent, to create my software, I wanted to learn to code a web site that did every thing the Open AI playground did for me however in a way more user-friendly method. Most significantly, I wanted to have separate type bins for the resume and job description, in contrast to the Open AI playground, which solely has one type field.
And so, I watched a number of YouTube movies on creating “advert copy” AI turbines (which is analogous in a method to cowl letter turbines) and realized in a single day to make my app on bubble.io. All I needed to do as the ultimate step was join the Open AI API to my output type on my new web site.
It took three days of labor from begin to end to create my app. It’s referred to as Tally.Work (hyperlink). Test it out!
Ultimately, it turned out fairly nicely. Some individuals even appeared to assume it was cool on HackerNews. Proper now I get hundreds of customers on simply the primary day and I’ve truly spent about $100 on Open AI tokens (which is an issue for one more day).
I notice that the quilt letters generated on my app do appear to be an AI wrote them. However that’s okay. AI (a minimum of my prompts) will not be there but. However in the future, within the not too distant future will probably be. Till then, my software may very well be a spot to begin a primary draft of a canopy letter. Customers might use my software to get began after which edit and add to the quilt letter to make it sound extra human.
It additionally dawned on me that AI goes to all however take away from existence make-work and busybody duties like this. That is good, proper? Proper?
I do hope that this venture winds down as a result of, as I discussed, I’m not too fond of canopy letters, and if this venture (or others prefer it) succeeds, then employers will cease asking for canopy letters, and the app will grow to be ineffective. As I discussed, I hate cowl letters.
What I do hope occurs from this venture is that I study quite a bit from this expertise so I can construct a extra attention-grabbing AI app that I’ll hope does not fail.
My recommendation in case you are trying to construct your individual AI app is to only get began. Use the Open AI playground the place no code is required after which construct your frontend both with code if you understand how or with no code on a no code builder like bubble.io. There are tons of YouTube movies on all this, so why not begin right this moment?
