19th October????#TheNTWKTalks?????Building Generative AI Products that Users Love, by Max Gutsche

We invite you to join us at #TheNTWKTalks this Thursday! Most generative AI products won't ever make it into great businesses. Most of the AI tools available today will crash and burn because they are easy to copy, undifferentiated, and fail at delivering a better user experience.

?

Unifire.ai I founder Maximilian A. Gutsche outlines a framework of seven dimensions of language models that can be variously combined to create unique value propositions. His Unifire.ai tool leverages the generative and summarization dimensions to create unique content and repurpose existing content.

We’ll learn how Unifire.ai focuses on personalization, training the model on user tone and style for a natural output that uniquely aligns with user preferences.

Last week, Milja van 't Noordende gathered Dutch NTWKers at the meetup. Milja shares: 'I am still energized from the great discussion we had on Tuesday! Almost two hours flew by when we started talking about the sharing economy and the challenges of sharing platforms. We dove deeper into the platform business model and the importance of defining the value and target segments. Thank you, NTWKers, for joining!'
