>Most software vendors are selling their version of AI as hallucination free though.

It definitely has that Tesla Autopolit feel to it, where the marketing is ... enthusiastic, while the onus to "use the tool responsibly" is left up to the end user.

I'm building a persentation/teaching tool for teachers and trying to not sweep the halicination angle under the rug. My marketing angle is that the AI is a huge time saver, but the classroom teacher is the subject expert and they need to review the output. At the end of the day, it's still much more time efficient for an expert to review the content than it is to produce it from scratch which is a huge win.




Sadly, I think your sales pitch will fall flat. College and University admin aren't technology experts, but are VERY susceptible to flattery from tech sales people. They want to hear about the time and cost savings, regardless of reality.

Also, to be super presumptuous, if you need help with anything with your tool, hit me up. I love working with developers on building realistic use case and workflows.

I'm building tools for K-12 (I've been a teacher for 20+ years). There's solid uptake of GPT among teachers and individually they're pretty enthusiastic about anything that will reduce their workload, so I'm hoping it resonates.

Sure, my details are in my profile, happy to chat.
