features.\u00a0\u00a0<br><br>For example, we recently built a prototype for transforming written words into digital content. We explored leveraging OCR (optical character recognition) as part of its product strategy.\u00a0<br><br>Rather than develop our own proprietary OCR product, we identified a third-party &#8220;off-the-shelf&#8221; tool for consumer OCR.

Your user research team can train ChatGPT to recognize patterns in feedback and provide insights on what users say about a prototype, product, or design. The process is pretty simple:\u00a0\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class='block-title-and-content__item'><div class='block-title-and-content__item-inner'><ul class=\"lists lists__color--lightGrey lists__type--circle lists__size--default lists__align--left block-lists__lists\">\n\t<li>Collect user feedback: This can be done through surveys, interviews, or other feedback channels.<\/li><li>Input feedback into ChatGPT: ChatGPT can be trained to recognize sentiment, keywords, and phrases related to specific aspects of a product or design, such as usability, functionality, or aesthetics.<\/li><li>Analyze feedback: ChatGPT can help you analyze the user feedback and provide insights into what users say about the product or design. For example, ChatGPT can identify common issues or pain points that users are experiencing or highlight areas where users are particularly satisfied.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class='block-title-and-content__item'><div class='block-title-and-content__item-inner'><p\t\tclass=\"typography block-typography__typography typography__color--lightGrey typography__size--regular-body typography__align--left\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\tBased on the insights, you can streamline the feedback loop and meet user needs faster.\u00a0<br><br>Going a step further, you can <em>also<\/em> leverage generative AI to assist your team in collecting this feedback. For many teams, creating a chatbot that simulates a conversation with a user about a specific product or design is worthwhile. A strategist could run 100 user tests with 100 virtual users in minutes. This capability will only improve, too. As of writing this, OpenAI rolled out the ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/blog\/chatgpt-can-now-see-hear-and-speak\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">see, hear, and speak<\/a>.\u00a0<br><br>Earlier this year, one of our product teams built a NetSuite\/Slack support bot with ChatGPT 4, dramatically reducing the response time for queries and allowing NetSuite admins to focus on more complex issues. Learn more about the process of <a href=\"https:\/\/engineering.deptagency.com\/deploying-gpt4-in-the-enterprise-netsuite-support-bot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">creating this support bot<\/a>.\u00a0<br><br>And, of course, generative AI is becoming increasingly pervasive in design tools. While AI capabilities haven\u2019t quite caught up to user interface design, its ability to create custom stock images, 3D renderings, and unique product imagery helps designers visualize outcomes faster.\u00a0\u00a0\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t<div

uncreative.\u00a0<br><br>With hundreds of developers across DEPT\u00ae, some have embraced its usefulness more than others, but generally speaking, we don\u2019t see generative AI as a game changer in development\u2013yet. However, we are seeing shortened cycles for some time-consuming tasks. These mostly include brainstorming and generating boilerplate code.\u00a0<br><br><strong>Brainstorming<\/strong>\u00a0<br><br>\u201cI mainly use it when I\u2019m stuck on a problem and need to brainstorm alternate solutions. I only use it if I know I can validate the solution immediately (e.g., run the code and it works as expected) instead of using it as a building block, and it falls down because it didn\u2019t work as expected. Since the knowledge base is a couple of years old, it\u2019s not reliable for current info like API details.\u201d<br><br>Ashwin Sundar, Senior Engineer\u00a0<br><br><strong>Generating boilerplate code<\/strong><br><br>\u201cThe most helpful thing I\u2019ve seen it do is create boilerplate integration code (if you need to integrate with a database or API). There are definitely best practices around this kind of code, and ChatGPT generates it well.\u00a0<br><br>Generally, it\u2019s more useful for greenfield development. If you\u2019re trying to jam new code into legacy code with dependency, it\u2019s not as smooth.\u201d<br><br>Matt Merrill, Director of Engineering\u00a0<br><br><strong>Looking ahead to Copilot\u00a0<\/strong><br><br><em>\u201cYou spend more time reading code than writing code\u201d<\/em> is a common catchphrase among engineers. And one of <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/features\/copilot\">Copilot\u2019s<\/a> offerings is the ability to read and summarize existing code for developers in a new codebase.\u00a0<br><br>After testing Copilot in the fall of 2023, we found it good at explaining individual lines of code or high-level overviews of a single file, but it fails to explain an entire codebase. It tries, but the scope of analysis seems to be limited to a single file.<br><br>We hope this gets better because the ability to understand a new codebase would save hours of time getting up to speed between projects.\u00a0\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t<div
