Has anyone worked with ServiceNow before? What's the most interesting use case you've seen?

The CERN one is a classic. 4000+ apps for managing everything from vacation requests to particle accelerator access

We evaluated most of these (minus Workato) and landed on Nango. Was by far the most flexible and having the source code available was a big plus (vs. the closed-source alternatives). The team is also reactive to feedback in their Slack community, they even added a few new endpoints for us in < 24 hours

Nango is awesome. I've used it across several projects and it's sped up our "time to live integration" significantly + reduced maintenance costs. Congrats Bastien, Robin and team!

Very cool. I was initially confused since I expected the questions to be multiple choice, but then I realized you're evaluating whether the answer is correct or not using AI (so I can type "Obama" or "Barack Obama" and both are correct). Haven't seen that approach before!

(OP here) Bit of a controversial take I wrote about. Most people think that AI benefits incumbents and LLMs deepen software moats.

But for the first time, we have an intelligent, format-agnostic file converter. Give ChatGPT an export file from one app, and seconds later you get an import file ready for another tool.

We've seen the benefit first-hand at our startup with our "AI Form Importer". It's now easier than ever to demo and migrate to new software solutions.

I think this is largely a good thing for the ecosystem.

We use Nango for https://fillout.com and it's been a great addition to our tech stack. Has made it much faster to add new integrations without having to navigate OAuth docs each time

We do at https:///www.fillout.com (online form builder).

Free plan includes 1000 submissions per month and then we offer discounted pricing plans for startups

We give 2-3 examples and find that it works pretty well (few shot fine tuning) but haven't tried actual fine tuning yet so I don't have a 1-1 comparison.

We also have other spam filters that are not LLM-based. One of the main benefits of the LLM-based approach is that it's good at catching people who try to avoid detection (e.g. someone purposefully mis-spelling suspicious words like "pa$$word")

It outputs both - { isLikelySpam: boolean, reason: string }

Then we have an inbox app (also made in Retool) that our support team uses to manually review any submissions that are isLikelySpam = true. The <reason> helps to understand why it was flagged.

Our use case is for a form builder (https://fillout.com) but I imagine this type of use case is pretty common for any app that has user-generated content

We've been using the ChatGPT API from Retool Workflows (for spam detection) and it's been valuable for our business. The built-in vector DB looks interesting

Seems like every big tech company is building a database product: Zapier Tables, Microsoft Lists, Retool DB, Google Tables, Monday WorkOS...

Feels like a return to the Database Wars of the 90s

Thanks. We've got a lot planned on that front - like auto-translating templates to different languages, generating themes with GPT, etc.

So many possibilities!

Hi folks - sharing my mistakes and learnings from how we added AI to our SaaS (and what we're trying differently now).

I'm around if you have any questions/comments.
