Platform to automate manual back-office work

Velos helps non-technical operations teams automate complex, manual back-office tasks with AI workers instead of overseas teams. Unlike traditional robotic process automation (RPA) platforms like UiPath, Velos automations use machine learning to reliably handle ambiguities in their tasks, eliminating the need for an army of maintenance engineers and consultants to build and maintain your automations. We're automating the repetitive work people hate to do.

GradientJ - Build and manage GPT3 🤖 applications at scale
See original launch post ›

What is it?

GradientJ is a web application to build, compare, and deploy prompts for large language models like GPT3.

Is this for me?

GradientJ is for:

  • Product teams that are just thinking of using something like GPT3 in their product and are trying to figure out how to get started.
  • Teams who are already using LLMs to delight their customers and are trying to level up their workflow with faster iteration, better organization, easy cost and performance comparisons, and the on-ramp to ~the mythical land of fine-tuning~.

What’s the Problem?

Currently, the road from exciting prototype output with ChatGPT to production-ready GPT3 deployment is unclear and littered with potential pitfalls.

Even for the teams that do get version 1 out the door, the workflow often ends up as a stitched together hodgepodge of makeshift processes and tools.

LLM deployment is a leading cause of “am I doing this right?”-itis. Symptoms include:

  • A text document with examples copy-pasted into the OpenAI playground
  • A prompt comparison process that consists of an eyeball test followed by “looks better-ish”
  • Hours spent tweaking a prompt on one example only to find, in the end, it breaks on all the others
  • Nightmares of users getting nonsensical or offensive output from a hallucinating LLM

How do we solve it?

We made a prompt engineering interface that:

Automatically suggests starting points or improvements to your prompts.

Tracks prompt versions and benchmark examples so you can always compare and deploy the best iteration.

Deploys to your own API endpoint with automatic cost and performance tracking in one click.

The Ask:

  • Let us help: If you’re trying to use LLMs like GPT3 in your application and want to discuss how to get version 1 out the door FAST, we’d love to talk.
  • Try it out: If you’re already using LLMs in your application, we’d love to talk.
  • Spread the Word: If anyone you know is using or thinking of using LLMs, we want to turn their ideas into reality.
