Existing software also needs attention
Business software changes with your organization. Working methods are adjusted, systems receive updates and parts that were once useful can later get in the way.
OpenAI described on October 14 how it uses AI to examine existing software, clean it up and prepare improvements. Employees continue to review the proposed adjustments.
What do you notice about this as an entrepreneur?
The interesting question is which recurring problem you can tackle with it. Consider a report that requires someone to retype data every week, or a link that requires regular repairs.
A targeted improvement to the software can help make such a work step easier. Whether this is successful remains to be seen in daily use. AI is a tool for the people who maintain the software.
Start with something your team recognizes
Choose one action that regularly takes time or research. Discuss with the people who work with it what is difficult about it and what a better working method would look like.
You can also further develop in this way with a modular WebApp. You start with the parts you need and improve them based on use. This way the software fits in with the practice of your company.
