    when I first posted this, I had a very defeatist attitude towards the problem. I felt like no one could do anything, specially not me as an individual.

    I read your comment again and again. I was first confused, then moved, by how much effort you've put into writing this -- while not even living here.

    I decided to take one step into a positive direction and do my part with my professional skillset, and came up with https://air.nmn.gl/ over a couple of days.

    I learnt a few things myself while making this. I shared it on Reddit and HN and got around ~1k views. It got a lot of love, people DM'd and commented with their gratitude.

    I don't know where I can take this next, but I wanted to thank you for taking the time to type all this and inspiring me.

    I live close by (in New Delhi, India) and it's a similar situation here.

    With every breath I smell ash. My girlfriend's eyes burn up. There's constant smog all around.

    I've got 3 air purifiers running in my house at all times which makes indoors slightly better, but I'm most affected during my unavoidable commute.

    The city is dying. No one cares about solving this & there's no easy solution.

    I don't know what to do.

    Hey Tildes, I was researching about AI usage for a project and was curious -- do you folks use some non-mainstream AI (like outside of ChatGPT/Microsoft Copilot/Apple Intelligence), like perhaps a custom Chrome extensions or maybe a desktop application?

    I wanted to understand what use cases for AI exist that the big companies are lacking in right now

    Fun to think about. However, the FDA requirements of nutritional labels would prevent this I think.

    Totally empathize, I used to do this for my own company a lot lol Nice way to put it, and I use this method a lot myself to code

    Our company currently loves building custom replacements for industry tools haha.

    That's something I struggle with too sometimes. If I use LLM code blindly then more often than note i find bugs down the road. But do try Sonnet, it's much better than gpt-4o. Makes sense, thanks...

    Exactly! It's a great space Fabrile looks cool, would love to chat more. Add me on discord? My username is "nmnyg"

    I’m also really surprised it’s a space OpenAI hasn’t really touched (their custom gpts are terrible for b2b)

    Same, ChatGPT fails in anything complex and outputs code that is mostly correct, but seriously flawed in a difficult to detect way.

    Have you tried Claude 3.5 Sonnet? It's giving me much better results, but it's still not 100%.

    The best experience I have is using Cursor.sh with Sonnet with web search. It is the most foolproof so far.

    Am I correct in understanding LLMs are used only for programming and development at your workplace?

    Interesting, i use ai during coding similarly to write tests (tho I use it via cursor.sh not copilot)

    internal LLM portal with access to popular models like ChatGPT and Claude

    Would you know what product your company is using for this portal?

    bi-annual performance reviews

    This is definitely an interesting use case that i hadn't thought of. What other things do your teammates use the portal for?

    Thank you for the detailed reply, this is exactly what I wanted to learn more about

    Can you talk more about this part please: "custom trained model on the web for internal knowledge base purposes"

    • How was it trained?

    • What kind of tasks is it used for, am I correct in understanding that it's searching through the knowledgebase or is it something else as well?

    utilization seems to be growing rapidly.

    That's exactly what I'm betting on, as tools develop almost every company will have its own LLM.

    I'm working on an AI chat portal for teams, think Perplexity but trained on a company's knowledgebase (prosgpt dot com for the curious) and i wanted to talk to some people who are successfully using LLMs in their teams or jobs to improve productivity

    Are you using free or paid LLMs? Which ones?

    What kind of tasks do you get an LLM to do for you?

    What is the workflow for accomplishing those tasks?
