Not sure if everyone knows just how easy making something like this is. This kind of an app takes less than one week to develop, using the OpenAI function calling API.
- andybak 3y agoA week!?
- belter 3y agoAn hour if developed with ChatGPT...
- meiraleal 3y agoI'll give you 10k usd if you copy this work in 1 hour (which is much easier than creating it, mind you). Otherwise stop downplaying other's people work.
- belter 3y agoOther people work was not the target of the remark. Stop not having a sense of humour...
- meiraleal 3y agoOk, one week.
- hdjjhhvvhga 3y agoOK, do I understand correctly you are offering 10000 USD for someone who recreates this service (=a website that generates an Excel formula based on its description in English) in a week? Frankly, and I don't want to downplay anybody's work, but this seems doable. The core engine based on API calls to OpenAI is probably a few hours. The remaining time is for user authentication, subscriptions, payments, graphics and so on. I know this because I'm using OpenAI API for personal automation projects and in spite of its quirks it's relatively simple especially if you don't need continuity and each task is independent.
- meiraleal 3y agoNo, that was a joke. But only a few very capable people can do something at the same level as GPT Excel in one week. Including videos, templates, etc. A prototype? Yes. it will be bad. If you wanna bet, I'm all in.
- andybak 3y agoJust to bring back the comment that sparked this off: > Not sure if everyone knows just how easy making something like this is. This kind of an app takes less than one week to develop, using the OpenAI function calling API. So - the original statement was "something like this". Not the design, the videos, the templates but the core, essential functionality. And that is probably a couple of hours work. I suspect the real value is mainly in the prompt templates. I haven't tried but there's probably some wording that helps guide the results. It might be that these took a lot of trial and error to tune - or it might be that the first thing I try gives me results as good as GPTExcel.
- quickthrower2 3y agoA week that includes day job, family life and general adulting stuff.
- andybak 3y agoWell I don't have insight into your adulting commitments so that's not a terribly useful measure for me. ;-)
- swah 3y agoNot sure if you're trying to motivate me to do something, or just the opposite!
- meiraleal 3y agoYes, it is easy and it will get easier, the overall quality of software products is rising fast. Apps and product development is like a marketplace now, the demand for software is huge but most people just don't know about what they can do with software. So there are hundreds of GPT Excel's out there, but there is demand for thousands so if you can do this in one week, do it! There is a lot of people trying those projects just for fun and spending money on it.
