Geppetto is useful for us internally, we think others will also find it useful. Geppetto is not the first integration of ChatGPT with Slack, there are several and it seems like we are not the only ones finding it useful.

If you are looking to an AI/AGI/ML innovation, this is not what Geppetto is. It is clear from the beginning.

BTW, all this does not imply we are not working on the ML field in cybersecurity static analysis though.

I think part of the confusion, and why it isn't clear, is that releasing an "A.I. assistant" implies that you've put work into the A.I. or assistant aspects of it. The A.I. assistants in this case seem to be ChatGPT and DALL-E, and this seems to be a connector between existing A.I. assistants and Slack.

Adding to the confusion is the human-sounding name, which makes it seem like an A.I. assistant, rather than an integration.

As an aside, show H.N. is about being open and collaborative, and your replies to several people on this thread seem quite secretive and adversarial. Would you consider sharing more information, rather than less? Let us in :)

From what I can see the only thing it does above and beyond Slack's own integration is generate images. To me that's the most low-value part of the value proposition.

OpenAI also has a teams product:

I mean, I understand, it's an internal tool and all, you're not building a business here, out of this tool, but I'm going to guess that you end up ripping this out within months as Slack invests big bucks into integrating AI into their platform.
