What is the market for this solution? Whose pain point(s) are you solving? And what stops OpenAI from "Sherlocking"* you, i.e., making whatever you're building a free included feature and extinguishing the market?

*Or, to use a more modern analogy, "Evernoting"

Great question! The short answer is nothing! We just have to out pace them and make sure we develop a better product experience.

Two key advantages that we have over OpenAI. 1. We are open source and are trying to build a community of developers that can out run any single LLM provider. 2. We are completely provider agnostic, which allows us to aggregate and share common features across tools. (One analogy we like to use, is we want to emulate how dbt is database agonistic, and Helicone will grow to be provider agnostic)
