Contextual AI Assistants

I'm firmly convinced that AI will greatly impact the realm of assistants and collaborators. My experiences with ChatGPT-4 and more recently, Pi - a truly engaging and entertaining interface, even potentially serving as a therapist - reinforce this belief. However, I predict that the pivotal advancement will take place in the domain of contextual assistants. This breakthrough may have already transpired overnight, as indicated by Shopify's announcement of their new AI assistant, 'Sidekick'.

This groundbreaking AI assistant, specifically designed for commerce, has been turning heads and raising eyebrows since its announcement.

Let's chat about why you should be excited about this innovative assistant. Ever launched a business all by your lonesome? It's tough, right? You yearn for a second brain to brainstorm, delegate tasks, and crunch numbers. Enter Sidekick, your new best friend in the world of commerce. It's a versatile little helper, analysing sales, advising on promotions, and even tinkering with your Shopify store design. It's like having an extra pair of hands so you can focus on what matters most: creating fantastic products.

"Every entrepreneur has tons of questions. Sidekick will have the answers that are specific to your business," Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke explained recently. Sidekick comes loaded with a variety of capabilities, including storefront design, developer documentation, and economic trend analysis.

Now, I know you're curious about how this nifty Sidekick functions. It's essentially a smart chatbot powered by OpenAI's chatbot, ChatGPT. Just click a button on Shopify's platform and start asking Sidekick questions about your store's performance. Want to know your sales trends or inventory levels? Interested in customer feedback? Sidekick has you covered.

But the cherry on top? Sidekick isn't just about answering questions—it takes action too! Imagine updating store settings or applying discounts with a simple command. All you need is to ask it in your natural language, and Sidekick gets to work.

How will Sidekick benefit you as a merchant and your customers? Let's put it this way: Time is money. With Sidekick, you can have quick access to store information and make swift decisions, saving you precious time. Also, it's like having a personal data analyst who can offer insights on your store's performance.

For customers, Sidekick promises an enhanced shopping experience with personalised recommendations, quick answers, and a smoother product discovery process. It's like having a personal shopping assistant at their fingertips.

Contextual AI assistants like Sidekick are set to be a game-changer because they don't just offer advice—they provide invaluable, personalised insights tailored to your specific business or role, weaving together the power of AI with the intricate tapestry of context and data inherent to your operations, thereby guiding you to make more informed, effective decisions.

I faithfully utilise ChatGPT as an assistant for a vast range of tasks every single day, but its most frequent use comes from aiding me in rewriting material. I swiftly form a less-than-perfect sentence, then leverage the abilities of ChatGPT to transform it into a polished piece that could be worthy of publication in esteemed platforms like Vanity Fair or The Economist.

For example the sentence above was originally: I use CHatGPT religiosuly all day everyday as a assisatnt for a whole myriad of tasks but nothing i use more than getting it to help me rewrtite something. I quickly construct a porrly written sentence and then use the magic of ChatGPT to product something that coudl be published in Vanity Fair or the Economist.
