Bing is having a moment

According to Microsoft’s Yusuf Mehdi, more than 1 million people have signed up to the waitlist to try out the new Bing – in just 48 hours. Currently, the Bing app is #3 in the U.S. App Store, probably in part because downloading the app gets you faster access.

Your personal ChatGPT bot

What if everyone had their own personal ChatGPT? Okay, forget the HAL 9000 future you just imagined. What if ChatGPT was instead trained on your website’s content?

After using the bot extensively for their own business purposes, the makers of CustomGPT had the same thought and set to work, building a bot that was trained and optimized for their audience and using their data.

Now, they’ve made this a possibility for everyone.

CustomGPT works by ingesting your website content and data; things like customer interactions, knowledge bases, products, etc. It uses this to build a bot whose whole existence is based around your startup.

What can my new bot do? According to the makers, pretty much everything that ChatGPT can do, but just more zoned in on your startup's needs. It can write detailed blog posts, respond to customer queries, provide actionable research insights, and more. The bot can also refresh indexed data so that it becomes smarter when new content is created.

Since it’s powered by OpenAI’s powerful language models, it’s not your run-of-the-mill chatbot. With the latest AI technology trained on your data, the outputs are more relevant and useful.

If anything, CustomGPT is one way to get around the ChatGPT wait times. 🙃

Grow your app with Setapp: revenue, users, & AI

You shipped the app. Now comes the part nobody warns you about.

Billing across dozens of countries. Licensing agreements. Tax compliance. Customer support for users you haven't met yet. And if your app does anything with AI, add provider management and infrastructure costs to the pile. None of that is why you started building — but all of it is now your problem.

Setapp is trying to take it off your plate.

You probably know Setapp as the subscription marketplace — one monthly price, hundreds of Mac apps. On May 21st, they turned toward developers. The pitch is simple: list your app, reach users who are already looking, and let Setapp handle the business layer.
