For smaller organizations that run lean and would like to get to deploy a solution quickly. This is a solution that is easy and quick to develop. It has a good amount of customization. However, for advanced customization this might not be a good solution. I suggest experimenting with OpenAI API and then if the experimentation is successful then it is a good idea to optimize and try other LLM models.

WRITER
It is very easy to navigate, build, and contextually meld your agent into whatever you like. As long as you know how their back-end no-coding platform works, it becomes a breeze to create bespoke content that actually matters, and makes sense. We've done this with multiple agents and as I call it, "sub-functions". There's a lot more potential the agents can do, all you need to know is to just learn the process.

Pros
OpenAI
  • The developer experience is top notch. Their SDKs are super easy to use
  • Organization and project billing separation. You know where everything was consumed.
  • Playground. The playground is super useful to prototype without writing a single line of code

  • i do find the organisation a bit confusing, like the functions available in 'ask Writer' being separate to the main window. there were lots of functions i wasn't able to find intuitively that we needed a support call for
  • asking for a summary of key points doesn't always pick up the main points

Easy to setup, develop and deploy. The payload for the API is simple and has all the inputs required for simple projects. There are a good number of options of LLM models to optimize for speed, cost or quality of the answers. A larger token input might improve the overall usability.

Anthropic is only the best for coding and its really really expensive. So, if you're not making a coding app, I would stay away from it. On the other hand, Gemini models are dirt cheap but come with a bit of performance limitations, so i would use it for big volume non sofisticated use cases. The OpenAI API platform excels at providing best in class performance models, at not outrageous anthropic-like pricing.

WordPress is not very clear about the tools that are available with some themes over others. Instead, Write has multiple functions and makes the work complete in its entirety. It's easy to navigate and it also allows me to use multiple accounts. It has database links and at the same time it is compatible with MS office in all versions

  • Developing a styleguide to consolidate message, phrasing, writing style, and brand voice requirements.
  • I'd like to see a Firefox addition at some time, but for now, the Chrome and Google Docs extensions suffice.
  • Processes for producing, revising, optimizing, and publishing material have been streamlined.
