ChatGPT Integration with InsideSpin
As a validation of AI-augmented article writing, InsideSpin has integrated ChatGPT to help flesh out unfinished articles at the moment they are requested. If you have been a past InsideSpin user, you may have noticed not all articles are fully fleshed out. While every article has a summary, only about half are fleshed out. Decisions about what to finish has been based on user interest over the years. With this POC, ChatGPT will use the InsideSpin article summary as the basis of the prompt, and return an expanded article adding insight from its underlying model. The instances are being stored for later analysis to choose one that best represents the intent of InsideSpin which the author can work with to finalize. This is a trial of an AI-augmented approach.

When to Start
Building a successful high technology company today is clearly more challenging than it was even a decade ago. The web has altered the operational paradigm of so many facets of corporate structure, culture and communication. Executive teams feel like they can’t afford extended time to sit back and decide how to evolve – in a planned way – the core components of a business plan. The fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants scenario is more common. It’s not surprising to see companies rise and fall as quickly as they do given the chaos that can result from off-the-cuff approaches to management.
The Importance of Product Management
Establishing product management excellence early in a corporate growth cycle should be a key CEO-led goal. Product management needs to grow with a company to be a key contributor to its success rather than its absence identified as a leading cause of its failure.
In high technology companies, product management serves as the bridge between various stakeholders, including engineering, marketing, sales, and customer support. A well-defined product management function can greatly enhance a company's ability to adapt to market needs and technological advancements.
