GPT-3 powers the next generation of apps

Nine months since the launch⁠ of our first commercial product, the OpenAI API⁠(opens in a new window), more than 300 applications are now using GPT‑3, and tens of thousands of developers around the globe are building on our platform. We currently generate an average of 4.5 billion words per day, and continue to scale production traffic.

Given any text prompt like a phrase or a sentence, GPT‑3 returns a text completion in natural language. Developers can “program” GPT‑3 by showing it just a few examples or “prompts.” We’ve designed the API to be both simple for anyone to use but also flexible enough to make machine learning teams more productive.

Applications and industries

To date, over 300 apps are using GPT‑3 across varying categories and industries, from productivity and education to creativity and games. These applications utilize a suite of GPT‑3’s diverse capabilities (and have helped us discover new ones!). A few of these include:

Viable helps companies better understand their customers by using GPT‑3 to provide useful insights from customer feedback in easy-to-understand summaries.

Using GPT‑3, Viable identifies themes, emotions, and sentiment from surveys, help desk tickets, live chat logs, reviews, and more. It then pulls insights from this aggregated feedback and provides a summary in seconds.

For example, if asked, What’s frustrating our customers about the checkout experience?, Viable might provide the insight: Customers are frustrated with the checkout flow because it takes too long to load. They also want a way to edit their address in checkout and save multiple payment methods.

GPT-3’s ability to identify themes from natural language and generate summaries allows Viable to give product, customer experience, and marketing teams at companies across industries a better understanding of their customers’ wants and needs.
