🐕 ChatGPT: Get more from it! - Issue 1

CUT TO THE CHASE
[The Short]

Every new company now is coming out with an AI tool, an website with an AI top level domain (TLD) - that means it ends with “.ai” and everyone is still on the search for the latest tools, whether its to amuse us or to create value - or both.

In addition, we all like our gadgets (well most of us) and if you are reading this, it’s likely that you like gadgets as much as I do.

My objective is to share the meat and potatoes of hardware (gadgets) and software (AI Tech tools) with all of you so you know what’s happening in the market, curated for you and easy to digest in 5 minutes or less.

Feel free to challenge me here if something gets too technical and I can break it down for you, whether it’s in the next edition or on socials … or both.

SOFTWARE TECH TOOLS
[AI Tech Tools]

There is so much chatter about Gen AI tools still right now, that I decided to kick off the 1st edition of the Tech Retriever Newletter by covering how to get more out of OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

We have come a long way in the last 12 months here. Everyone is trying to juice the AI for all that it has. Many are not well equipped to use it and conclude these tools like Chat GPT are more limited than they actually are.

Oftentimes, people are just a course (or two) away from learning how to prompt (write) more effectively with an AI tool (like ChatGPT).

Apple's AR Headset: Apple Vision Pro

Apple augmented reality (AR) headset called the Apple Vision Pro is designed to combine the real and digital worlds seamlessly.

Apple prefers to call it spatial computing versus augmented reality however many consider it to be in the AR category.

“It is the first Apple product you look through and not at” says CEO Tim Cook. The headset, which looks like a pair of ski goggles with a cord, is controlled with eyes, hands, and voice, and features a separate battery pack (at the end of the cord).

They are for sale now and start from $3,499 USD. They are not yet available in all countries.

The Vision Pro can switch between AR and VR and is operated using an operating system called visionOS. It supports Bluetooth accessories and can connect to a Mac for use within the headset. It includes 12 cameras, a 4K display for each eye, and a computer. The design fits a various head sizes.
