  • Would you submit a product you're proud of, even if it serves no monetary purpose?

    I am not a coder so I would not have the ability to release a product without a substantial investment. I would however help with ideation and the vision of a product that serves no monetary purpose. I also believe we should be living in a world that is more focused on usefulness than on profitability. There are so many products that would benefit society that are never released because there is no way to monetize them. This is a travesty in my opinion.

    @jake_strack Absolutely agreed, but everyone needs money. However, the coding ecosystem is rich with free open-source tools created by individuals who contribute without charge.

    Sure! For example, our free parse document API at ChatofAI can convert files like PDFs, DOCs, HTML, and more into Markdown files. Why did we create this? Well, during the development of AI products, we often encountered the pain point of inaccurate AI responses. Upon analysis, we discovered that it was because the files we uploaded were not properly parsed and provided to the AI, which affected its answers. We developed this API to assist AI developers and decided to offer it for free!
