Yes I developed a SaaS and the functionality is solely based on output from OpenAI. We have several thousand paying users already with ARR above $1.5M

May I ask what your profit margins are? Why can't someone just use ChatGPT instead?

Around 85% profit. It wouldn't be possible to get the same result from ChatGPT without a ton of prompt engineering and manually retrieving data and inserting that into your prompts. Plus, we don't just do a single API call and call it a day. A single button press in our app can set off a process which calls the OpenAI API over a dozen times plus retrieves data from several other APIs to help with the prompting

Makes sense! Thanks for your answer :)

out of curiosity, are you using openai's base models or are you fine tuning them? and what tech stack is your app using?
Re:YC offers early interviews for AI companies by weird-eye-issue on Saturday July 15, 2023 @07:08AM (#36735495)
NextJS, CF Workers, CF Durable Objects

We use the base models but once fine tuning becomes available on 3.5/4 we will be looking into that

No it is not Prompt Hero (that isn't even a SaaS is it?)

I've got some crazy news for you: you can actually post other people's tweets on HN! Crazy, right?

By the way the OP of the Twitter thread commented in that thread you linked. He has the same HN username as Twitter.

My apologies, I see the OP's comment you're referring to.
