The company’s origin story is incredible. 🔥
How @OthersideAI founders @mattshumer_ @MilesFeldstein and @JasonKuperberg amassed a 13k waitlist and $2.6m funding after building a demo in 2 hours.
Their product will change how we communicate. 👇🧵
The company’s origin story is incredible. 🔥
The idea for OthersideAI came from an experience CEO Matt Shumer had at his previous startup, Visos.
“I eventually came to the conclusion that I spend too much time writing emails and I tried to figure out a way to use [GPT-2] to cut that time down” -MS
Open-source artificial intelligence by OpenAI.
Developers wield the AI to perform certain specific tasks.
In this case, composing emails.
We built that, and it actually worked out really, really well.” -MS
Around this time OpenAI announced and released GPT-3, the successor to GPT-2.
It was so more advanced than GPT-2 it may as well have been called GPT-10.
OpenAI had an approval process and a long waiting list.
Not wanting to waste anytime, the OthersideAI team cold emailed the CTO of OpenAI, Greg Brockman, in an attempt to fast-track the process.
It worked! 💪
“The day we got access [to GPT-3] we decided to see what we could do… and within about 2 hours we were able to whip up a demo that was just miles ahead of what we had. We really had something that can truly write emails for you.”—MS
Matt Shumer said they were able to move that fast because of their prior experience experimenting with GPT-2.
Fair enough. But still…
It ‘went viral’ and generated hundreds of thousands of views.
Eventually over 1 million. 📈
This led to coverage in major publications like the New York Times.
It looked like you were viewing the future today. 🔮
The product they're building transforms basic text into a well-written email.
Input 👇
Their long term vision is to free up billions of hours of time for working professionals globally.
Game-changing. 👀
When it’s combined with a truly valuable and futuristic proposition like this, twitter can go wild.
And, it did. 💥
At the time of writing their waitlist is around 13,000! 📈

Funny, before the election I recall lefties muttering the caravan must have been a Trump setup because it made the open borders crowd look so bad. Why would the pro-migrant crowd engineer a crisis that played into Trump's hands? THIS is why. THESE are the "optics" they wanted.
This media manipulation effort was inspired by the success of the "kids in cages" freakout, a 100% Stalinist propaganda drive that required people to forget about Obama putting migrant children in cells. It worked, so now they want pics of Trump "gassing children on the border."
There's a heavy air of Pallywood around the whole thing as well. If the Palestinians can stage huge theatrical performances of victimhood with the willing cooperation of Western media, why shouldn't the migrant caravan organizers expect the same?
It's business as usual for Anarchy, Inc. - the worldwide shredding of national sovereignty to increase the power of transnational organizations and left-wing ideology. Many in the media are true believers. Others just cannot resist the narrative of "change" and "social justice."
The product sold by Anarchy, Inc. is victimhood. It always boils down to the same formula: once the existing order can be painted as oppressors and children as their victims, chaos wins and order loses. Look at the lefties shrieking in unison about "Trump gassing children" today.
Funny there are those who think these migrant caravans were a FANTASTIC idea that's going to take the immigration issue away from you.

Like several weeks watching a rampaging horde storm the fences & throw rocks at our border patrol agents & getting gassed = great optics!
