One year ago today
Where were you when you found out about ChatGPT?
OpenAI launched ChatGPT to the public on November 30, 2022.
Where did you first hear about OpenAI and ChatGPT?
What has been the one thing that has stood out to you this year?
I saw it on Twitter and immediately signed up. Then emailed all of our clients about it. It was so exciting and I lost days going in a rabbit hole of testing it. It is fun to look back through my tweets and timeline of all that happened in AI this past year and think of where we will be one year from now. I have tested almost 100 AI tools and ChatGPT is still in my top 5 tools that I use often.
Since last year there have been model upgrades from ChatGPT 3 to ChatGPT 4 Turbo, vast use cases in all industries, way more integrations, plugins, Assistants, Custom GPTs, and a little CEO drama to keep us on our toes.
As I pause to reflect on the whirlwind of the past year, I am overwhelmed with gratitude and joy. It's been reminiscent of the excitement I felt when I first stepped into the digital world 18 years ago.
This year has been some remarkable experiences. I've had the incredible opportunity to speak and train at events and companies across five states, sharing insights, guiding through the adoption of AI, and sparking ideas about leveraging AI in the business world. Seeing the lightbulb moments, the growing confidence and the emerging innovations has been a testament to the power of AI in transforming businesses.
We also kicked off our CincyAI meetups. This initiative has created a vibrant community space where we learn, collaborate, and grow together. It’s a place where ideas flourish, challenges are tackled collaboratively, and new friendships are formed.
This year has been a journey of growth, learning, and connection. It's been a reminder of how technology can not only change businesses but also bring people together in meaningful ways. As I look forward to the new year, I am excited about the endless possibilities that AI holds for us all.
Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey. Your support, curiosity, and passion have been the driving forces behind this incredible year. Here's to many more years of innovation, collaboration, and transformation!
For laughs, here is the initial evaluation of OpenAI in December 2022 of $1billion. Try $80 billion today. It is just a little off. 🤣

Question of the Week:
Q: Kendra, you keep telling us about AI but where do I go to use AI?
A: Excellent question, how quickly I forget to start at the beginning since I have been using the tools for so long. A good first place to start is chat.openai.com. Sign up for a free account. The paid version is on a waitlist temporarily. The paid version is $20 per month.
Here are some tips on how to prompt it when you first start using ChatGPT: https://kendratech.substack.com/p/how-to-prompt-chatgpt
