Interesting that they're still centered around Chat as the interface, with https://flowch.ai (our product) we're building it much more around projects and reports, which we think is often more suitable for businesses.

We're going after some of these use cases:

Want a daily email with all the latest news from your custom data source (or Google) for a topic? How about parsing custom data and scores from your datasets using prompts with all the complicated bits handled for you, then downloading as a simple CSV? Or even simply bulk generating content, such as generating Press Releases from your documents?

All easy with FlowChai :)

I think there's room for many different options in this space, whether that be Personal, Small Business or Enterprise.

Here's an example of automatically scraped arXiv papers on GPT4, turned into a report (with sources) generated by GPT4: https://flowch.ai/shared/6107d220-4e19-4bdc-a566-e84e8a60565...

Some feedback (it's clear you're just pitching FlowChai, but that's ok its HN):

I quick scrolled through your webpage and had no idea what it was. Extremely text heavy, and generic images that didn't communicate anything. I wanted to know what the product LOOKED like, especially as you're describing the difference between it and the chat interface of OpenAI.

I think you updated your comment (or I missed it) with the link to a "report" - it looked just like the output of one of the text bubbles except it had some (source) links (which I think Bing does as well)? It didn't seem all that different to me.

Very fair, we have demo videos, guides etc planned for the next week or so. As it's a tool that can do many things it's hard to describe. Still a lot to do :)

In terms of what makes the report different from Bing: this could be any source of data: scraped from the web, search, API upload, file upload etc, so there's a lot more power there. Also, it's not just one off reports, there's automation there which would allow for example a weekly report on the latest papers on GPT4 (or whatever you're interested in).

Doesn't seem to be in a usable state yet. I created an account and realised there's not actually any features to play with yet. I gave a URL for scheduled reports but I cannot configure anything about them.

You didn't offer me any way to delete my account and remove the email address I saved in your system. I hope you don't start sending me emails, after not giving me an ability to delete the account
