Two New Toys For You To Try

You're going to chat so much you'll get sick of chatting

AI toys, if you haven’t caught the pattern yet.

First the fun one: TrumpGPT. It’s the greatest GPT ever, everyone’s saying it. It’s on the GPT store, and it’s funny that they call it a store since TrumpGPT is free, but that’s because the people at OpenAI are nerds, not marketing geniuses like TrumpGPT.

It’s a general-purpose ChatGPT variant that rambles, jokes, and self-aggrandizes a lot, and occasionally launches backhanded complements at random people it thinks of, but still eventually gets to the point and answers your query. Like Trump on a good day after he’s recently spoken with someone who knows what they’re talking about.

TrumpGPT generated that image when I asked it to provide an image of itself. It also generated that microphone logo it uses; apparently there’s a block against actually provided a depiction of real people.

And on a more serious note, I built a website, and I need people to test it for me.

It’s called Business Software Roadmap, and I just took the alpha version of it live.

The way it works is, you enter a bunch of info about your business, and a few minutes later it emails you a custom-written article that recommends software for your company to adopt. Usually it gives 2-3 options for each type of software.

It’s also supposed to lay them out as a “roadmap,” that is, get this type of software first, then tackle this next thing, and so on. The degree to which it manages to do that is one of the things I’m testing.

If you own a business– or I suppose if you’re in a management role where you make software-buying decisions– give it a try. The email you’ll get has a link to a feedback form where you can tell me what you think of it.

I’m planning to build some other tools that will work in basically this same manner– you fill out a form, and a few minutes later get a customized something or other. The other ideas I have in mind are more broadly applicable to most people than the business software thing; your feedback at this stage helps me perfect the formula.

I’ll end this on a random, completely-unrelated observation. I took a trip to Grand Canyon last week and…apparently that’s what it’s called, not The Grand Canyon like I’ve always said, and like I’m pretty sure everyone around me has always said it.

Is there a word for kinda sorta having your mind blown, but like in a really trivial way? Because that did it for me.
