Can you use Generative AI to monitor topics?

Yes!

You can just ask…

… and the result you get is convincingly mediocre.

Can you spot the problems? Here are the ones I spotted:

(1) Not all the soda brands are represented. (ChatGPT: Ever heard of Diet Coke or Pepsi Max?)

(2) Are these prices from New York, Galesburg (Illinois) or Panama? (Yes, the US dollar is used in Panama too.)

(3) Are there only three grocery stores (Target, Walgreens and Walmart)? (ChatGPT: Do you dislike Whole Foods or Costco?)

Still, it provides a decent first approximation.

You just can’t make business decisions with it.

But, what if there was a way to get results you could rely on?

You can, with some additional automation (not currently available in ChatGPT, but which we’ve built into Auxee). The automation is something as simple as the following:

(1) Capture all the pages on the Internet that mention soda and prices (rather than just casually browsing a few pages).

(2) Have the AI read through each page and build a table of the information that is of most interest to you.

How useful would you find this?
