Show HN: SquadGPT – chat interface to LLMs for teams

A few months ago, I was working with a couple of interns to build some forgettable CRUD app.

Then ChatGPT blew up and when we got stuck on some obscure bug, one of the interns suggested asking ChatGPT Plus for help.

Since buying every intern a ChatGPT Plus account wasn’t on the cards, we decided to “solve” this by building a chat interface to the GPT-4 API and allowing multiple people to participate in any chat with the LLM.

Eventually, the benefits of this approach became apparent - more visibility into AI costs, I retained access to their chat sessions even after they left the project, better insights into what they needed guidance on, and so on.

So, I decided to productise this as SquadGPT - GPT for teams - at https://squadgpt.ai.

It’s very barebones - all it does is to let you talk to an LLM (GPT-4) for now. No plug-ins, no web browsing, no REPL.

I’ll add those features and others based on what users say.

In future, I’m planning to integrate with more LLMs so that this “mixture of experts” can reduce hallucinations and improve reliability.

I’m putting out this Show HN because I believe we’ve built something unique in the LLM space and want to get that presumption validated through actual uptake from users.
