Gratitude Circle GPT

Updated Sep 24, 2024 - 1. Nagaraja Srivatsan got the GPT to generate a story about the gratitude circle. Posted to the comment section. 2. Krishnan Gopalan asked some tough questions. The questions and the thread in the comments section .

World Gratitude Day - some of you may have noticed that the World Gratitude Day happened on Sep 21, 2024 [yes there is a day for this also ?? ]. IMHO Gratitude is probably one of the biggest superpowers for our mental health. This post may also be very timely given the recent spotlight on employee well-being across the globe.

Celebrating 5 Years of Gratitude Circle

By some coincidence, we started a Gratitude Practice within Tiny Magiq on Sep 2, 2019 which we call Gratitude Circle. Every week when we have our all-hands, we give gratitude to the others in the team taking turns. This gratitude practice has had incalculable benefits for our 100% Remote First team. Ours has been a remote first team from day one much before the phrase Remote First was coined during the pandemic.

To celebrate the occasion we got into a video call 10 days ago to discuss the Gratitude Circle. It was just phenomenal to hear the team talk about the impact. Immensely grateful to all our team mates for practicing this so diligently every week for so many years.

Yes we could publish that video and you can go through the 1 hour call and figure out your own insights. But that would be a one-size-fits-all communication model (all teaching, learning, speeches, videos, podcasts.. follow this same approach) and would be a hit or miss proposition.

Enter Gen AI

What if I can use Gen AI to give you a hyper-personalized form of learning that you can use to learn about this practice.

Ontological Approach

A few months ago I stumbled upon the fact that ChatGPT 4O has exhaustive knowledge of ontologies from all the mainstream industries. We have actually been able to make use of this approach for our client projects. I remember the days during my CKO days in Cognizant when we had to build the ontologies, controlled vocabularies manually. Compared to that It is quite remarkable what we are able to achieve with this approach. Since my accidental discovery of this capability, ontologies have become a key part of the Expert Lens - Expertise Augmented Generation (EAG) approach we have been using & promoting.

Gratitude Ontology

1. I worked with ChatGPT several hours to create an Ontology for Gratitude [a standard one doesn't exist] in a Turtle format (.TTL) file.
2. Then I took the transcript of the Video call and built a GPT that analyzed the transcript using the Gratitude Ontology.
3. It does such a fantastic job of answering questions using the Ontology and this can make a hyperpersonalized learning for you happen.

You can try the Gratitude Circle GPT yourself . The conversation starters in the GPT are good starting points. Please let me know what you think in the comment box?

Unintended Byproduct

My team mate Sanjay Radhakrishnan uploaded another meeting transcript and asked the Graitude Circle GPT to analyze the meeting and identify Gratitude opportunities and it did a phenomenal job. You can try this too.
