For manual testing, QA is a separate person/team but I'm recommending the developer observe in real time as they review since they're "shuttling" the change into production. QA should also basically be adding in automated tests for their manual evaluations so yes, I'd have them cycle through the development team.

On #6, yes, I'd say squash merge into single commits so single commits going out would be the enforcement measure. And deploys to production occur immediately on merge to `master` which would be blocked on tests passing with additional pushes to that branch triggering test reruns.

I feel like focusing on building revenue should be the focus of pure SaaS founders and then reach out to investors to leverage growth - something that can be done more easily once they've hit "proof of market". That's part of my hypothesis behind Automated Capital.

Agreed. A revenue-first approach is the hypothesis I'm testing with Automated Capital.

The focus on revenue is definitely a paradigm shift for the current environment. It's part of my hypothesis behind Automated Capital (http://automated.capital/).

Could something like Automated Capital, a experimental side project I'm working on, reduce the turnaround for the initial due dilligence?

I'm following along their question answering guide: https://beta.openai.com/docs/guides/answers

Yeah lol he's not going to be 100% perfect. There are definitely improvements that could be made in the request parameters being sent to the OpenAI API but I think the actual training data being uploaded and referenced as part of the response could be improve I'm just not sure how. Open to ideas!

Well I guess that's Y Combinator to some extent...
forstmeier

That would be pretty interesting. I wonder if there would be a way to smoothly integrate that with OpenAI's API.

Improving the requests being made against the OpenAI API is probably the biggest thing I'd be looking for right now. I am also considering switching over to their "search" API instead of the "Q&A" one currently available on the "questions" tab.

Thoughts on how it could be improved?

Makes me think of that scene in Archer talking about anthropology.

Officially general AI status.

Yeah, it may have been too many operations against the OpenAI API - if you try again now it looks like it's cleared up a bit.
forstmeier

Yep! And I'd love ways to tweak/improve the responses.

Should the "Info" button be more apparent or could the wording on the modal itself be improved?
