I've been interested in AI since my early years in tech. In 2019 a friend who was a researcher and developer at OpenAI, working on GPT-2 back then, told me about the researcher program for testing the first GPT-3 APIs. That was a year before ChatGPT was public. I got in.
Since then my team of developers and I have used AI every day, and it has changed how I interact with technology. We use it for things I could not have done alone a couple of years ago, some of them ridiculous.
My normal friends, founders, solopreneurs, lawyers, writers, people in finance and design, creators, asked me to help set up their systems. When I did, they saved tens of hours a week and their output exploded in speed and quality. After a few weeks most of them said the same thing: why don't you sell this, or teach it.
To me that was a crazy idea. All I do in my free time is read about new developments to improve my own systems. I've read more research papers on AI in the last three years than papers of any kind in the previous thirty. And that is how we decided to build InnovLabs, with one of the very people I taught and built their first AI workflows with.
